A man who could sustain a large extended family of several wives, children, grandchildren and other kin, along with the flocks to feed them, was considered rich.
So his theory of causation was skewed by circumstance, a kin to watching a shipwreck and concluding that the natural and universal state of man is drowning.
所以他的因果理论受限于时代环境,类似于看到一起海难就下结论说人类的自然和普遍的状态就是淹死。

When you become an indifferent and apathy man who can cast off all moral regulations, relations of family and kin, you thus can consider being a monk.
