The quote by Mencius implies that human beings tend to be scared of people who are considered wicked, while heaven, or a greater power, does not have the exact same fear or concern. It recommends that people might focus too much on the unfavorable actions of others, while a higher understanding and approval of people and their defects might be found through a higher perspective.
"As we read the school reports on our children, we realize a sense of relief that can rise to delight that thank Heaven nobody is reporting in this fashion on us"
"Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows"
