The Supreme Executioner

"If people are not afraid of dying, Why threaten them with death? If people live in constant fear of death, And if breaking the law is punished by death, Then who would dare? There is one appointed supreme executioner. Truly, trying to take the place of the supreme executioner Is like trying to carve wood like a master carpenter. Of those who try to carve wood like a master carpenter, There are few who do not injure their hands."
