Let Be and Let Alone (6)
在宥（六）
1 Usually, man likes others agreeing with him instead of disagreeing.
一般人都喜歡別人贊同他的看法，不喜歡別人與他的看法相左。
世俗之人，皆喜人之同乎己而惡人之異於己也。
2 The factor that he likes the agreement and distastes the disagreement shows that he is arrogant; he deems he is better than others. However, is he who thinks himself more excellent than other, really more excellent than others?
這種同則喜，異則斥的現象，表示此人的自傲，認為自己總是比別人強。但是你自己認為比別人強就真的比別人強嗎？
同於己而欲之，異於己而不欲者，以出乎眾為心也。夫以出乎眾為心者，曷常出乎眾哉！
3 The wise one should keep his view but never expel others’.
聰明的人應該是保有自己的看法，但是絕不以自己的看法去抗衡大多數人的看法。
4 We better respect and agree on the masses’ view, because it presents the interest of the masses or it is a concept formed by the historical or environmental factors. Though it is possible different from ours, it still has its value and reason to exist.
我們應該尊重大眾的看法，承認大眾的看法，因為，正是這些看法，象徵著大眾的利益，以及因環境歷史背景等形成的觀念。雖然他們的看法與我們的可能不同，但是這並不表示它們就沒有存在的理由與價值。
5 Politician often holds firmly some principles in being to carry them out forcefully in his country.
政治家經常是死抱著一些現成的理論，生搬硬套地在自己的國度裡推行。
6 Maybe he sees the successful cases in some places but he doesn’t know what happen to other, perhaps does a lot of damages in different places or different times. He doesn’t know that a policy works well to bear a good fruit may be just because of luck and fortune, not the policy itself.
他也許看到這些政策在某地成功的例子，可是他不知道異地異時而為，所可能造成的傷害。他也不知道，這項政策之所以有好成績，可能只是因緣際會，是運氣好所造成的。
7 For example, Mr. James Earl Carter, the former President of United states, who had witnessed the worst situation of economy for four years. When Mr. Ronald Regan was in helm succeeded Carter, the cycle of economy had reached the bottom and it was ready to rise. At this time, Mr. Regan carried out the policy of “deregulation” or called Reaganomics. On inauguration day 1981, he said "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." Under the policy of deregulation the economy of America was truly recovered substantially at that time. People’s poor life was relieved.
1981年美國總統雷根接任卡特四年壞到極點的經濟狀況時; 實際上經濟循環本身己經到了谷底。雷根此時推行放手讓企業自由發展的政策。他在就職演說裡說：政府不是解決我們問題的良方; 相反的，政府才是我們問題的所在。在這樣的政策指導下，美國的經濟大幅改進，人民生活因而獲得舒解。
8 Does the recover of American economy owe to that policy?
然而，美國經濟的復蘇，肯定是這個政策的功勞嗎？
9 Later, it was demonstrated that some industries that were given too much “deregulation” caused problems. For example, in 2001, California witnessed the problem of electrical power — price of the power soaring. Financial sheets of American Enterprise misled the masses. Hot money infested everywhere. All of those problems were ascribed to the policy of “deregulation”.
事後證明，過度地放任某些行業是有問題的。2001年加州電力供應發生問題，電價大漲; 美國企業的財務報表誤導民眾; 熱錢四處流竄等都與政府過度放手有關。
因眾以寧，所聞不如眾技眾矣。而欲為人之國者，此攬乎三王之利而不見其患者也。
10 In 2002, the country began to reflect on the problems, and people expected civic rights to intervene some sectors of economy. So, if a stubborn politician stuck to the policy of Mr. Ronald Regan and insisted to carry it out, he would possibly bring serious disaster to the society.
西元2002後，美國開始反省，希望公權力適度的介入某些經濟活動。所以，如果一個政治家死抱著雷根的政策，食古不化的運作，可能就會為百姓帶來很嚴重的災難。
11 The precedent and successful policy has no guarantee of second success due to the changes of time, environment and thought.
前人視為成功的政策，因時代改變，環境改變，人的思想改變等等，都不能確保它們會再度成功。
12 Therefore, politician should not ignore the real current situation and hold a fixed policy and try to carry it out forcefully. He should be open to the voice of people and should take people’s wishes and views as his own. Never be obsessed with a fixed policy just because some other politicians had done it well.
因此，為政者千萬不能死抱著一個固定的政策強力推行，他應該傾聽百姓的聲音，以百姓的願望為願望，以百姓的看法為看法; 千萬別陷入一般政治家食古不化的迷思之中。
此以人之國僥倖也。幾何僥倖而不喪人之國乎！其存人之國也，無萬分之一；而喪人之國也，一不成而萬有餘喪矣。
13 An incumbent government official must know that it is great and worthy to possess power and to have an area under his control.
為政者還要知道的是，擁有政權，以及擁有一片疆土，是一件了不得的大事，是一件真正值得擁有的東西。
14 The governmental official should look them as a part of his body and cherish them. He should not look them as a thing that is irrelevant.
他應該將之視為自己的一部份，善加珍惜，不能只將之視為一件事不關己的東西而已。
15 Only if he cherish them and look them as a part of his body, he can be the master of a territory; and the leader of its people.
惟有珍惜它，視它為自己的一部份，你才有可能成為這片疆土的主人。
悲夫，有土者之不知也！夫有土者，有大物也。有大物者，不可以物；物而不物，故能物物。
16 Governance of a country should follow this principal; so as to the other jobs. He, who can look other as himself, treasure them dearly and look all things as a part of his interest, protect them carefully, is unblocked and free to roam around the universe. The man with this character is the most honorable one.
治理國家是如此，其他事物上也應該這樣。能夠視人如已，正視一切事物，將之視為自己切身的一部份，善加珍惜的人，他們就能通行無阻，自由自在地遨遊於天地之間。具有這種性格者，是人類中最值得尊敬的人。
明乎物物者之非物也，豈獨治天下百姓而已哉！出入六合，遊乎九州，獨往獨來，是謂獨有。獨有之人，是之謂至貴。
