The Chinese character Ku is said to represent  “a bowl in whose contents worms are breeding” suggesting decay which has been brought about through gentle indifference and rigid inertia.  The situation demands action.  In this instance it is not immutable fate that brought about a state of corruption but the abuse of human freedom.  What has been damaged by man can also be made good again through man’s work.

However, time must be given to understanding  the causes of the problems before they can be rectified.  Changes and improvements must unfold in orderly sequence in order to firmly establish progress on the right path and to prevent relapsing.
