Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius's student, Zhonggong, asked Confucius how one should conduct oneself to align with benevolence.
Confucius immediately replied, "One should treat others with seriousness and respect, and never impose on others what one dislikes oneself. Whether in office or out, one should not complain."
Zhonggong expressed his gratitude, saying, "Though I am dull, I will certainly remember your words."
