FALSE VIRTUES
YANG CHU said:
"Po Yi was not without desire, for being too proud of his purity of mind, he was led to death by starvation.
"Chan-Chi was not passionless, for being too proud of his virtue he happened to reduce his family.
"Those who in pursuit of purity and virtue do good in a false way resemble these men."
