    Mozi’s argument, in this passage, does not seem to prove the existence of an emotion of universal love and mutual caring. Instead, the argument attempts to prove the importance of impartiality and the necessity of an emotional dedication for the universal love. It is a rational justification that calls for a reciprocal and universal viewpoint where one should take equal interest for oneself and others. In this context, one can suspect the psychological reality and practical effectiveness of Mozi
