Mencius: "The business of the people must not be neglected... The way of the people is this: If they have a certain livelihood, they will have a fixed heart. But if they do not have a certain livelihood, they will not have a fixed heart. And if they do not have a fixed heart, they will participate in any kind of self-abandonment, moral deflection, depravity, and wild license. And then when they have thus been involved in crimes and you respond by punishing them, all you have done is trapped them."
