Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Exchange is delight. Firm within and yielding without; using delight for benefit in steadfastness, thus it accords with Heaven and responds to people. Using delight to lead the people, the people forget their toil; using delight to face difficulty, the people forget their death. The greatness of delight—the people are encouraged!
