21.27
Regarding the commentary's phrase “worldly people use people to follow desires”: the Book of Documents states, “The petty person uses people to follow desires; the exemplary person uses desires to follow people.” As for the words “cannot simultaneously forget [both]”: “wang” (亡) means “to be without” (無). However, when the two characters are joined, it reflects the meaning in the Zhuangzi. Moreover, if the character wang (亡) has the heart [radical, becoming 忘, “to forget”], then the conception of self and other is forgotten, and one does not presume upon one's own merit. Here it merely means to concurrently treat those who lack the Way in this manner.
