If
people are not afraid to die, why would you use death to threaten
them?
If
you make people constantly fear death, and seize the dishonest
ones and kill them, who would dare to do the killing?
An official would do the killing.
The one who kills is like the person who takes the place of the
great artisan who created the universe.
Whomever takes the place of this great artisan rarely escapes
injuring their own hand!
