Question

The ways of Heaven are certain: On those who are virtuous, it sends down all blessings, and on the evil-doer it sends down all miseries. If you are a good ruler, all of the regions of the empire will be happy and rejoice. If you rule badly, this will bring dishonor to your ancestors and ruin to the empire. According to the passage, what will happen if a ruler ignores the Mandate of Heaven? Check all that apply. He will bring dishonor to his ancestors. He will cause all to be happy and rejoice. He will ruin the empire. He will be virtuous.

Answer 1

Thankfully this is not true. But here me out. the rain falls on the just and the unjust right? I don't see a cone of light following a virtuous person right in the middle of a rainstorm. By thankfully, i mean we all are wrong. We all do things that we regret, or that we know are wrong, and even some things that we don't know are wrong.

Also, I'm not sure how ruling badly brings a bad name on your ancestors, but if someone said, "Bro, you are ruling awfully man. Your ancestors must've been messed up," then i can see why you could say this. ;), Since you decide what you do, your ancestors probably won't get a bad rep. Your ancestors really don't care at this point what you do. Where they are is not affected by what you do.

If you strive do what is right and honor God, you will indeed be blessed by Him, but there will always be a group that complains or argues to get themselves what they want.
Hope this helped!
