Definitions

怍

1. (literary) ashamed, abashed

   • 君子有三樂，而王天下不與存焉。父母俱存，兄弟無故，一樂也。仰不愧於天，俯不怍於人，二樂也。得天下英才而教育之，三樂也。君子有三樂，而王天下不與存焉。 [Traditional Chinese poetry, trad.]

     From: Mencius, c. 4^th century BCE

     Jūnzǐ yǒu sān lè, ér wàng tiānxià bù yǔ cún yān. Fùmǔ jù cún, xiōngdì wúgù, yī lè yě. Yǎng bù kuì yú tiān, fǔ bù zuò yú rén, èr lè yě. Dé tiānxià yīngcái ér jiàoyù zhī, sān lè yě. Jūnzǐ yǒu sān lè, ér wàng tiānxià bù yǔ cún yān. [Pinyin]

     The virtuous person has three pleasures, and to rule over the empire is not one of them. That one's parents should both be alive and that one's brothers should be safe and sound: that is the first pleasure. To look up and not feel guilty towards heaven, to look down and not feel ashamed before people: that is the second pleasure. To find the talented people of the empire and to teach and nourish them: that is the third pleasure. The virtuous person has three pleasures, and to rule over the empire is not one of them.
