"Favor is as alarming as disfavor; Caring about disaster is like caring about oneself. Why say, “Favor is as alarming as disfavor”? Favor is no good; Gaining it is alarming; Losing it is alarming; Hence, “Favor is as alarming as disfavor.” Why say, “Caring about disaster is like caring about oneself”? The reason why I have disaster Is because I have a self. If I don’t have a self, What disaster do I have? Therefore, If you care about yourself for the sake of the world, You may be charged with the world; If you love yourself for the sake of the world, You may be entrusted with the world."
