Confucius and Han Fei believe that the nature of man is bad and prone to misbehave. Han Fei even believed that the mind of man is that of infant and that the wisdom of man is useless. He believed that man is selfish by nature. Confucius also do not consider all man as wise but he considers him as miserable creatures. Man can counteract this by instilling in minds the concept of morality. Morality would distinguish the good from bad. Man, themselves are the one choosing not to do good. Han Fei then believes that the man should follow the rules and law of the land. Similar with Confucius about the morality.
