“礼治”是荀子的重要思想,荀子认为“礼”之起源,是为了保持物质和人欲的平衡。欲望,是人生来就有的,满足欲望是人的本性。但是人人都依自己的愿望行事的话,可想而知世界就会混乱不堪,而且外物有限,不能想要多少就要多少。所以需要制定“礼”来规范人们的行为,合理引导欲望。荀子认为“礼者,养也”,“礼”并非是刻意压制人的欲望,而是合理满足人的欲望,以及合理分配物质,使社会相对稳定。
为了知识本身而追求知识,对正义的近乎狂热的热爱,以及对个人独立的渴望——这些是犹太传统的特征,让我感谢命运让我属于它。

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want, and if they cannot find them, make them.
A good abstraction is one that captures the essential aspects of a concept while ignoring the irrelevant details.
