The True Measure of a Man: Loved by the Good, Hated by the Bad

By / / judgment, reputation, The Analects, the bad, the good, Zi Lu XIII, Zi Lu XIII Chapter 24
Confucius said: “It is best to be loved by the good people and hated by the bad.”

It is better than either of these cases that the good in the neighborhood love him, and the bad hate him.

不如乡人之善者好之，其不善者恶之。
