This is very old thought coming from the Confucian
scholars.
To become great, is comparable to becoming one.
Greatness and Oneness are different philosophically. They are two different mind-sets.
When the aim itself is greatness, tolerance had become
secondary. It was said the sea never
refuses rivers, even they are very small, thus becoming great. However, more
can be seen when invasion happens. Swallowing up neighbors produces greatness
also.
The thought of oneness can be seen in the early Zhuang
Zi's works in China, Christian thoughts, and some Indian works.
They are two kinds of thinking patterns. When the
aim itself is growing big, people will
not consider the welfare of every one. To enslave others are allowed, and love
is minimum.
And this is the mind-set not only happens in
politics, it creates completely different culture.
