Confucius said: “The village worthy is the thief of virtue.” (Analects 17.13)
Mencius later explained whom he meant. Such a man is hard to criticize and hard to attack. He goes along with common custom and fits in with a corrupt age. He seems loyal and honest, and everyone likes him. “That is why he is called the thief of virtue.” Mencius quotes Confucius again: “I hate the village worthy, for fear that he will confuse virtue.”
The classical ideal of harmony never included the man who pleases everyone.
