顺天之意者
墨子
顺天之意者,兼也;反天之意者,别也。兼之为道也,义正;别之为道也,力正。义正者何若?大不攻小也,强不侮弱也,众不贼寡也,诈不欺愚也,贵不傲贱也,富不骄贫也,壮不夺老也。 -- 墨子《天志下》
Embracing the will of Heaven
by Mozi
Embracing the will of Heaven is to love others just like loving oneself. Disobeying the will of Heaven is to treat others worse than you treat yourself. Loving others equally is the way of ruling by morality. Treating others not fairly is to rule by violence. What is ruling by morality? The Big will not attack the Small; the Strong will not insult the Weak; the Majority will not harm the Minority; the Wise will not bully the Obtuse; the Noble will not despise the Lowly; the Rich will not peacock before the Poor; the Young will not loot the Aged.
