Idiom story

Once Sima Niu, a disciple of Confucius, asked how to be a gentleman. Confucius replied, "a gentleman is not worried or afraid.". Sima Niu didn't understand. Then he asked, "don't worry, don't be afraid, can you be called a gentleman?" Confucius' answer is: "if you don't feel guilty, why do you worry and fear?" In other words, if you have a clear conscience, what can you worry about and fear? Of course, a gentleman's honesty is not only a problem of correct behavior, but also comes from people's inner morality. According to the ancients, a gentleman has three basic virtues: benevolence, wisdom and bravery. Confucius said: "the benevolent are not worried, the wise are not confused, and the brave are not afraid". That is to say, if a person has a heart of fraternity, a lofty wisdom of life, and a brave and strong will, then he must have a good psychological and spiritual state, so that he has a broad heart and a broad mind.
