Confucius remarked: “The life of the moral man is an exemplification of the universal moral order. The life of the vulgar person, on the other hand, is a contradiction of the universal moral order.”

“The moral man’s life is an exemplification of the universal order, because he is a moral person who constantly lives his true self or moral being. The vulgar person’s life is a contradiction of the universal order, because he is a vulgar person who in his heart has no regard for, or fear of, the moral law.”
