一个珠宝大盗被媒体记者追问，为何在这样一个法治社会还敢偷如此贵重的东

西，为何不怕受到谴责时，不但没有低头忏悔，还隔着铁窗振振有词道：“那户人
家没有做好防护，我不过比那些想偷的人更有勇气……”其神情竟颇有几分洋洋得
意，真是让人哭笑不得！

勇气虽是一种美好的品德，但有勇无义却是恶魔般的存在，所以孔子告诉我们

做一个君子要勇且“义以为上”！（季叙含）

英译

Zilu enquired: “Is not valour a quality important to a gentleman?” “A gentleman,”

answered Confucius, “esteems what is right as of the highest importance. A gentleman
who has valour, but is without a knowledge and love of what is right, is likely to commit

a crime. A man of the people who has courage, but is without the knowledge and love of
what is right, is likely to become a robber.”
