孔子说:我没有见过真正爱好仁德的人,也没有见过真正厌恶不仁的人。爱好仁德的人,认为没有什么比仁德更高;厌恶不仁的人,他实行仁德,是不让不仁的事沾染到自己身上。有谁能在一天之内把力量都用在追求仁德上吗?我没有见过力量不够的。这样的人大概是有的,只是我没有见到罢了。

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said, "I have not seen a person who loved virtue, or one who hated what was not virtuous. He who loved virtue, would esteem nothing above it. He who hated what is not virtuous, would practise virtue in such a way that he would not allow anything that is not virtuous to approach his person. 2. "Is any one able for one day to apply his strength to virtue? I have not seen the case in which his strength would be insufficient. 3. "Should there possibly be any such case, I have not seen it."

Ask Confucius: local reflection

No model API is called. This local rule mode uploads nothing and keeps source, explanation, and reflection separate.

Local rule response
Fixed passage context
Human boundaries before model-backed chat
This is a token-free local reflection box. It calls no model, uploads no question, and only uses this passage, its guide, and fixed rules.
