/ Execution                               \

| If people were not afraid of death,     |
| Then what would be the use of an        |
| executioner? If people were only afraid |
| of death, And you executed everyone who |
| did not obey, No one would dare to      |
| disobey you. Then what would be the use |
| of an executioner? People fear death    |
| because death is an instrument of fate. |
| When people are killed by execution     |
| rather than by fate, This is like       |
| carving wood in the place of a          |
| carpenter. Those who carve wood in      |
| place of a carpenter Often injure their |
| hands.                                  |
|                                         |
