 It is things such as great states attacking small states, great families wreaking havoc with lesser families, the strong robbing the weak, the many doing violence to the few, the clever deceiving the ignorant, and the noble acting arrogantly toward the humble. These are some of the great harms being done in the world. In addition, there are rulers who are not kind, ministers who are not loyal, fathers who are not loving, and children who are not filial. These too are some of the great harms being done in the world…. If we try to discover the origin of these different harms, where do we find they come from?…it is those who are partial in their dealings with others who are the real cause of all the great harms in the world. (Mozi, 16.1; Ivanhoe and Van Norden 2001: 68)
