The word "cautious independence" first appeared in University;
The so-called sincere people in the original text do not deceive themselves. If it stinks, if it's lewd, it's called modesty. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious and independent.
Honesty means not deceiving yourself. Just like hating the foul smell (don't deceive yourself), just like liking beautiful women (don't deceive yourself), this is called satisfying yourself. Therefore, a gentleman (in order to satisfy himself) will definitely face his heart alone.
Note 1, "If you stink, if you are horny" is the explanation of the previous sentence "Don't deceive yourself"; 2, cautious and independent, what I am talking about here is asking myself and answering. For example, Nie Wen Tao Bok said, "Confucius said that benevolent people are gentlemen. And I have given up many opportunities to help children, so I can't talk about benevolence any more. What I want to do today is humanity and the pursuit of the basic value of being a man. In other words, in the face of these children, can I ask myself: am I still alone? " .
