Tsai Wo asked, saying, "A benevolent man, though it be told him, 'There is a man in the well" will go in after him, I suppose."Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
Confucius said, "Why should he do so?" A superior man may be made to go to the well, but he cannot be made to go down into it. He may be imposed upon, but he cannot be fooled."
