Many people are not upholding justice, but rather self-interest; many are not believing in democracy, but rather clinging to inherent prejudices.
In the beginning, when the world acted for righteousness, some found that by quietly disregarding rules under the guise of justice, they could gain more benefits. Driven by greed, they became the earliest egoists.
Just like Yao and Shun who insisted on appointing virtuous people, yet their successor, Emperor Yu, attacked Bo Yi in the name of justice, allowing his son to seize complete power and become a dictator.
In ancient times, this method was called imperial tactics; in modern times, it has turned into refined egoism. However, compared to imperial tactics, refined egoism is naturally insignificant.
Just like the deep gates of a noble house are like the sea, from now on the young man is but a passerby.
The gates of nobility are as deep as the sea, and the gates of the palace are even deeper.
