“The object of the superior man is truth.”
— Confucius
Simplified Meaning:
A good and wise person values honesty and seeks the truth in everything they do. Imagine a student who always studies hard and never cheats on tests, even when it's tempting. This student understands that doing the right thing, like telling the truth and being honest, is more important than getting the highest grades by dishonest means. In everyday life, this means always being truthful with others, even if it’s difficult. For example, if you accidentally break something at a friend's house, you should tell them what happened instead of trying to hide it. By being honest and facing the consequences, you build trust and show that you care about doing the right thing. Following this path helps you grow as a person and gain the respect of others.
