?孟
子
thus, ‘If, by twisting your elder brother’s arm, and
snatching from him what he is eating, you can get
food for yourself, while, if you do not do so, you will
not get anything to eat, will you so twist his arm? If
by getting over your neighbour’s wall, and dragging
away his virgin daughter, you can get a wife, while if
you do not do so, you will not be able to get a wife,
will you so drag her away?’ ”
