Chapter 73
When the people do not fear death, what use is there in threatening them with death?
If the people were made to constantly fear death, and there were those who acted deviantly, I could seize and execute them—but then who would dare to act at all?
There is always the Master of Killing who does the killing.
The Master of Killing is like the Master Carpenter who carves. One who presumes to carve in place of the Master Carpenter will rarely escape injuring their own hands.
