" Yan Yuan said, "What's the purpose?" Confucius said, "see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't say evil, and don't move if you are evil." Yan Yuan said, "Although I am not sensitive, please talk to me."

Yan Yuan asked how to be kind. Confucius said, "Restrain yourself and do everything according to the requirements of etiquette. This is benevolence. Once this is done, everything in the world will be kind. The practice of benevolence is entirely in oneself, but is it still in others? " Yan Yuan said, "Excuse me, the entrance of benevolence." Confucius said, "Don't look at people who don't know manners, don't listen to people who don't know manners, don't say people who don't know manners, and don't be people who don't know manners." Yan Yuan said, "I am stupid, but I still do as you say."
