Letting others be Transformed

"When the government is blindly liberal, the people are rich and noble. When the government is pryingly strict, the people are needy and miserable. Happiness is ever built up on the back of misery. Misery is ever lurking under happiness. Who knows where this will end? If one be himself devoid of uprightness, the upright will become crafty, the good will become depraved. Verily, mankind have been under delusion for many a day. Therefore the sage is himself strictly correct, but does not cut and carve other people. He is chaste, but does not chasten others. He is straight, but does not straighten others. He is enlightened, but does not dazzle others."
