Why To Be Excessive Inferiority --- 3

3. On some occasions, in order to express ideas quickly, 

it is not impossible to quibble with some humor.

For example, if Mencius told King Xuan the logical

reasoning directly, could King Xuan understand it ?

Or,  could King Xuan stand with it ?

It can be seen that Mencius was good at arguing, which was the result of the troubled times of the Warring States Period so that such result was Mencius' fault at all!

Even more, it is worth noting that Mencius' style of

writing was overwhelming righteousness ,but some

guys always rebut Mencius for his reasoning skills ,

and in this way, they have been keeping gossiping 

and gossiping about our Mencius , for they are 

always indulging in trivial issues !

How ridiculous it is !

Is this really interesting ?

4. If talking about "sophistry",  Lin Yutang's words are

really sophistry!

As we know, in Lin Yutang's times , our natural science

,inventions and creations were indeed relatively inferior,

but no matter how bad , it is hard to accuse Mencius in

2000 years ago for it . 

Such sophistry is extremely strange!

Why didn't Lin Yutang reflect on his own times ,

especially the problems in that times ? 

Is it just because it doesn't pay any cost to scold the

ancients?!

So,  I think that  Mencius might say to Lin Yutang,

"You are incompetent, but what does it concern me?"
