兼愛中 - Universal Love II

English translation: W. P. Mei [?] Library Resources
1 兼愛中:
子墨子言曰:「仁人之所以為事者,必興天下之利,除去天下之害,以此為事者也。」然則天下之利何也?天下之害何也?子墨子言曰:「今若國之與國之相攻,家之與家之相篡,人之與人之相賊,君臣不惠忠,父子不慈孝,兄弟不和調,此則天下之害也。」
Universal Love II:
Mozi said: The purpose of the magnanimous is to be found in procuring benefits for the world and eliminating its calamities. But what are the benefits of the world and what its calamities? Mozi said: Mutual attacks among states, mutual usurpation among houses, mutual injuries among individuals; the lack of grace and loyalty between ruler and ruled, the lack of affection and filial piety between father and son, the lack of harmony between elder and younger brothers - these are the major calamities in the world.
