While Confucius had laid the groundwork for a society based on Ren (benevolence) and Li (ritual propriety), the world had grown darker by Mencius's time. Rulers were interested in power, hegemony, and wealth, not morality. Mencius took it upon himself to travel from state to state, debating kings and ministers, attempting to steer the course of history toward compassion.
This was a contentious debate in his time. His rival, Gaozi, argued that human nature is like a whirling stream of water—neutral, capable of flowing east or west depending on external forces. Mencius, however, argued that morality is not an external imposition but an internal potential.
