What's more, in comparison with the agricultural society of years past, the networks of relationships that people have today are much more complicated. They have grown immensely. People with resources are always being smothered by requests for favors. In the final analysis, handling everyone fairly is probably the best way not to offend people.
此外，相較於以往農業社會，今日的人際關係複雜多了，大家的關係都在極度擴張，握有資源的人往往要受到許多不同派別的人情包圍，弄到最後，秉公處理反倒最可能達到「誰也不得罪」的目的。
