Yao Ermei finally bared her heart, laying all its rot out in the sun.
She lay prostrate on the ground, her back arched and her body curled up, once again rendered speechless.
Song Ciwan said, "The ancient Saint Mencius stated that the human heart has four beginnings: the heart of compassion, the heart of shame and dislike, the heart of deference and compliance, and the heart of right and wrong. To possess these four hearts is to have a good human nature.
But the ancient Saint Xunzi said that laws are not constant, and that they too undergo 'birth, abiding, decay, and annihilation.' He argued that humans are inherently small-minded from birth. To desire food when hungry, warmth when cold, and rest when weary; to love profit and hate harm—these are all parts of human nature. This is the meaning behind 'at birth, human nature is inherently evil.'
Even the Saints debated endlessly about good and evil. I am no Saint, so what right do I have to judge your character?
