From Zhuangzi Zapian Fisherman: Confucius suddenly said, "What is truth?" The guest said, "Real people are sincere. Not refined and sincere, not moving. Therefore, people who cry hard are not sad, angry people are strict but not arrogant, and close people are unhappy.

Interpretation: Confucius said sadly, "May I ask the truth?" The fisherman said, "The purest and most honest flower of human nature is true. It is impossible to impress people without purity and dishonesty. Therefore, those who pretend to cry are sad but don't complain, those who pretend to be angry are stern and have no prestige, and those who pretend to love are smiling and have no goodwill.
