The state, therefore, has not existed from all eternity. There have been societies that did without it, that had no notion of the state or state power. At a certain stage of economic development, which was necessarily bound up with the split of society into classes, the state became a necessity.
因此，国家并非自古以来就存在。曾经有一些社会没有国家，对国家或国家权力毫无概念。在一定的经济发展阶段，这必然与社会分裂成阶级有关，国家变成了一种必要性。
Nothing down there is what they say.
I try to live my life with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities I've been given.
我不知道这个世界会如何看我，但对我自己而言我仅仅是一个在海边嬉戏的顽童，为时不时发现一粒光滑的石子或一片可爱的贝壳而欢喜，可与此同时对我面前的伟大的真理的海洋熟视无睹。
【译文】君子不会根据言论推举选拔人才，也不会因为某人有缺点错误而废弃他的言论。
