On a trip to Sung
Yang-tse spent the night at an inn. The innkeeper had two wives, one beautiful, the other very plain. The plain one was treated with honor and affection, but the beautiful one was ignored. The next day, Yang-tse asked a boy of the household why. He replied, “The beautiful one knows that she is beautiful; the plain one knows that she is plain.”
When Yang-tse returned, he addressed his disciples: “Remember this, my followers. Put away your pride, and act upon your Virtue. If you do this, how can you not be loved?”
