Meng Yu said: "Those who know know everything, the top priority, the benevolent people all love it, and they are anxious to do the work of the virtuous."

Paraphrased means to do the most urgent thing that should be done at the moment.

Once, Mencius's disciple asked what he should know and do now, but what should he know and do first. Mencius replied, "A wise man knows everything, but he should know what is most urgently needed to be done at the moment, and not everything." For example, benevolence is something that people love in everything, but they should first love their relatives and sages. Another example is that the ancient holy lords Yao and Shun could not know all things, because they had to rush to extract the most important things at the moment. Yao Shun's benevolence is not to love all people, because they are eager to love their relatives and sages. Then, Mencius answered this question from the opposite side: "When parents die, they do not serve the three-year mourning period, but they are very particular about the etiquette of serving the three-month or five-month mourning period; Eating in front of the elderly, gobbling up politely, drinking soup, but talking about what you can't bite off dry meat with your teeth, etc., is to go to the end, and I don't know what I need to know and do the most. ”
