Quote of the day by Mencius: 'A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed.'
Mencius, a key Confucian thinker, believed human nature is good but requires nurturing through moral reflection. His quote highlights the vital role of shame as an inner compass, warning that its absence leads to moral unanchoring and the acceptance of wrongdoing. Recognizing shamelessness is the first step toward regaining moral sensitivity.
