（二十一）
或谓孔子曰：“子奚不为政？” 子曰：“《书》云：“孝乎惟孝，友于兄弟，施于有政。是亦为政，奚其为为政？”
Somebody asked Confucius, saying “Why are you not taking part in the government of the country? ”Confucius answered, “what does the Book of records say of the duties of a good son” Be dutiful to your parents; be brotherly to your brothers; discharge your duties in the government of your family.” These, then are also duties of government. Why then must one take part in the government of the country in order to discharge the duties of government.
