Man's nature is evil; goodness is the result of conscious activity.
Those whose character is mean and vicious will rouse others to animosity against them.
The nature of man is evil; what is good in him is artificial.
Whether the gentleman is capable or not, he is loved all the same; conversely the petty man is loathed all the same.
Thus, anybody who follows this nature and gives way its states will be led into quarrels and conflicts, and go against the conventions and rules of society, and will end up a criminal.
The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.
