CHAPTER V.
Confucius said, 'There are three things men find
enjoyment in which are advantageous, and three things they find enjoyment in
which are injurious. To find enjoyment in the discriminating study of
ceremonies and music; to find enjoyment in speaking of the goodness of others;
to find enjoyment in having many worthy friends:--these are advantageous. To
find enjoyment in extravagant pleasures; to find enjoyment in idleness and
sauntering; to find enjoyment in the pleasures of feasting:--these are
injurious.'
