Is it the following?

Original text: Duke Ai asked Confucius: "How long is the wise man's life? How long is the benevolent man's life?" Confucius said to him: "Of course! There are three deaths for people, not their destiny. It's up to you to do what you want. Husband's bed Those who live out of season, do not eat in moderation, or overwork themselves will be killed by the disease; those who live in a lower position and work for their lord, who are insatiable in their desires and want more than they want, they will be killed by punishment; those who offend the masses with a small number will be insulted by the weak. Those who are strong, wrathful, and unable to measure their strength will be killed by soldiers. Death is not a matter of fate, and people take it upon themselves.

If a wise man and a benevolent man keep his body in order, keep his movement and stillness in order, his joy and anger in time, and do not harm his nature, even if he can live a long life, isn't that so? ”

Easy to understand in vernacular: Once, Duke Ai asked Confucius for advice and asked: “Master, do smart and talented people live longer, or do kind-hearted and kind-hearted people live longer?” Confucius replied : "It's like this. There are three kinds of death for people. It's not that their lifespan is up, but that they lose it. For example, there is no regular schedule in daily life, no restraint in diet, and the body is often overtired or unrestrained. These are all caused by He does not know how to take care of his body, causing damage to his body, so that disease can take his life. Secondly, the person in the lower position ignores the king and commits the crime of the superior; he refuses to control his own hobbies and desires and is greedy. For such a person, punishment can also take away his life span. Furthermore, he offends those who are more numerous; he is weak, but he still bullies the strong; he does not know how to restrain himself when he is angry, and acts based on his own impulse; or he does not overestimate his own strength. , Acting without regard for the consequences. In this way, a sword fight can cause him to die prematurely. In these three situations: "killing by illness, killing by punishment, and killing by soldiers", he will die unjustly, and he will be responsible for his actions. Isn't it also reasonable for them to live a long life if they are morally righteous, have appropriate emotions and anger, behave ethically, and know how to cultivate their noble temperament? ” 6.
