第七十四章
民不畏死,奈何以死惧之?
若使民常畏死,而为奇者,吾得执而杀之。孰敢?
常有司杀者杀,夫代司杀者杀,是谓代大匠斫,夫代大匠斫者,稀有不伤其手矣。
Chapter 74
If you realize that all things change,
there is nothing you will try to hold on to.
If you aren't afraid of dying,
there is nothing you can't achieve.
Trying to control the future
is like trying to take the master carpenter's place.
When you handle the master carpenter's tools,
chances are that you'll cut your hand.
