Chapter 7 "There is no fasting"

Confucius said: "If you don't do what you want to do, you will be mad. The mad will make progress, and the fool will not do something." [2] So many people are fighting for the name of "doing something or not" [3] , claiming to be a follower of Confucius and a "humbler". But dare I ask— Is it the despicable and dirty things that "do not do something", or is it the despicable and dirty things? The definition of "madman" is not as ambiguous as "madman", so there is no such thing as "progressive".
