There is another saying which is, in fact, also about shu. In answer to a question from Tzu-kung, Confucius said, A benevolent man helps others to take their stand in so far as he himself wishes to take his stand, and gets others there in so far as he himself wishes to get there. The ability to take as analogy what is near at hand can be called the method of benevolence. (VI.30)
