"Master, I believe that for a philosophy to sustain long-term, there needs to be a field for its practical application. Currently, the Mo School has the ideology, but lacks practical experience. Moreover, the disciples of the Mo School are short on means to make a livelihood.
Master, as you see, the Confucian has schools, the Legalist has courts, and the Taoist has Taoist temples; these are the places where the disciples of these three schools practice their learning and establish their livelihood.
If a disciple studies a philosophy but cannot even sustain themselves, who would come to learn it?
My master once mentioned, only with a full stomach and quenched thirst can one afford to pursue dreams."
