Peace, unity and equality are the enemies of political subtleties. Men who are upright and simple are difficult to deceive because of their simplicity; lures and ingenious pretexts fail to impose upon them, and they are not even subtle enough to be dupes. 去书内

    Is this remark too absolute? It is true that honest and simple people are simple, but does it really mean that they are hard to be deceived? Don't you know what to do with your mind? does it mean you can resist temptation completely? I think, instead, that honest people are more likely to be deceived, because they are almost unwary of the outside world and are more likely to be deceived when malicious people show enough goodwill to achieve certain ends. I think that people who have been deceived, who have been hurt by malice or even who have taken the initiative to deceive others, and people who are not so simple, are better able to identify deception. Perhaps this statement is too absolute. The author's intention may be that people should yearn for a simple and unplanned life, and those who are mysterious, clever, and manipulative are disparaged, once the public will is influenced by their personal self-interest, People are fooled, wise decisions are thwarted, the right roads cut off, and the country is thrown into chaos, the consequences of which are unbearable for all.
