*20. Chap. I. Fu-hsü [OMITTED] (Wrong Notions about Happiness).
Happiness is not given by Heaven as a reward for good actions,
as the general belief is. The Mêhist theory that the spirits protect
and help the virtuous is controverted by facts. Wang Ch`ung
shows how several cases, adduced as instances of how Heaven recompensed
the virtuous are illusive, and that fate is capricious
and unjust.
