"Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar"

In this quote, Xun Kuang is criticizing the habits of people who prioritize their own self-centered desires, such as food and drink, over moral concepts and self-preservation. He compares them to animals, specifically pet dogs and boars, who are known for their instinctual and impulsive behavior. By highlighting their absence of scruples, shame, and worry, Xun Kuang suggests that these human beings are not really brave, however rather driven by their base desires. He is urging people to increase above their animalistic tendencies and pursue higher ethical requirements, rather than being controlled by their cravings.
