The real moral test of a society is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
【译文】 司马牛忧伤地说:“别人都有兄弟,唯独我没有。”子夏说:“我听说过:‘死生有命,富贵在天’。君子敬业而不犯错误,对人恭敬而有礼。四海之内,皆兄弟。君子担心什么没有兄弟?”
