Today, someone who picks up the chickens of his neighbors may tell them: "It is not the way of a gentleman." He said: "Please take a chicken in the month of loss, and wait for the next year, and then it will be." ”

Mencius said: Now there is a man who steals his neighbor's chickens every day. He was told:

This is not the behavior of a virtuous person. He said, "Please allow me to steal less chickens and steal one chicken a month, so that in the second year I will stop stealing them."

Seeing that others have passed, he is stern and fierce, and he can't make them change his way immediately and never do it again. At the beginning, there were many repentances, but the mind was not strong, and the will could not be kept, and the longer the time, the lighter the will, and it would be difficult to return to the right. If you have a mistake and can't correct it immediately, you often find excuses to delay, you cover your ears and steal the bell, and you deceive yourself, what good is it to make people laugh?

It is a clear idea that they have done something wrong, but they are unwilling to completely correct it, and they only cover up the existing mistakes by reducing the number of mistakes. This fable is vivid and humorous, seemingly absurd and ridiculous, but it is actually a portrayal of the human heart. In our lives, whether it is quitting smoking, gambling, drugs, or some cases disclosed in the "anti-corruption campaign", don't the parties have a little bit of the mentality and logic of this chicken thief?
