Is there a way to save one’s own skin in security? If so, what can you do now and why is that? What should you avoid and where would you stay? Where should you approach and what would you abandon? What should you like and what would you detest? 夫天下之所尊者，富贵寿善也；所乐者，身安厚味美服好色音声也；所下者，贫贱夭恶也；所苦者，身不得安逸，口不得厚味，形不得美服，目不得好色，耳不得音声。若不得者，则大忧以惧，其为形也亦愚哉！ What people advocate are wealthy, dignity, longevity and reputation; what makes people happy are comfort of body, abundance of food, glorious costumes, pleasing colors, sweet music; what people despise are poverty, abjection, ephemeral and notoriety; what people dislike are discomfort of body, shortage of food, no glorious costumes to wear, no pleasing colors to see, no sweet music to hear.

To treat their own body in such a way, isn’t it a way of not cherishing his own body? The dignified people keep thinking of position and salary all day in case that crisis may fall. To treat one’s own body in such a way,isn’t it too negligent? People are born with melancholy and gloom. Those who live long muddle all day and are in gloom for long but would not die, but isn’t it a suffering? To treat one’s own body in such a way, isn’t it too unreasonable?
