If a society is knit together by individuals committed to living out the Five Relationships and
following the lead of the ancients in keeping to the moral path of the Confucian tao, then that
society will be truly happy, prosperous and just, its individual citizens morally upright, with the
rights of all and the common good assured in a fiduciary community built on reciprocal trust,
rather than on an understanding of society as an "adversarial system" in which the dignity and
rights of the individual must be protected, lest the community impinge upon these rights.
