You know what's scarier than a man-eating tiger?
Once when Confucius was passing Mount Tai, he encountered a woman crying bitterly in front of a tomb. Confucius sent one of his disciples to inquire the reason. The woman said a tiger in the mountains had eaten her father-in-law, her husband and her son. Confucius asked why she did not move away from the area. She answered that the place she lived did not have any cruel exploitation. Hence, he exhorted his disciples to memorize his instruction: “Tyrannical government is fiercer than a tiger."
