《孟子·梁惠王下》1B.14：强为善而已矣
齐将筑薛引发滕国恐惧，孟子却把问题从军事威胁拉回为善：君子能做的是把可继承的善政做强，而不是先被强敌牵着走。
滕文公问曰：「齐人将筑薛，吾甚恐，如之何则可？」孟子对曰：「昔者大王居邠，狄人侵之，去之岐山之下居焉。非择而取之，不得已也。苟为善，后世子孙必有王者矣。君子创业垂统，为可继也。若夫成功，则天也。君如彼何哉？强为善而已矣。」

The duke Wen of Teng asked Mencius, saying, 'The people of Qi are going to fortify Xue. The movement occasions me great alarm. What is the proper course for me to take in the case?' Mencius replied, 'Formerly, when king Tai dwelt in Bin, the barbarians of the north were continually making incursions upon it. He therefore left it, went to the foot of mount Qi, and there took up his residence. He did not take that situation, as having selected it. It was a matter of necessity with him. If you do good, among your descendants, in after generations, there shall be one who will attain to the royal dignity. A prince lays the foundation of the inheritance, and hands down the beginning which he has made, doing what may be continued by his successors. As to the accomplishment of the great result, that is with Heaven. What is that Qi to you, 0 prince? Be strong to do good. That is all your business.'

核心问题
为什么孟子面对齐国筑薛的威胁，最后只回答“强为善而已矣”？
直接回答
因为在无法完全控制的大势面前，君主最可靠的工作不是先追逐短期安全幻觉，而是把真正可继承的善政根基做出来。结果是否最终成就，有一部分不在眼前之人手里。
第一性原理
面对外部压力，先分清什么是自己能稳固的根，什么是暂时无法完全掌控的势。若根先乱了，再快的应对也很难可持续。
为什么重要
这章适合承接“强为善而已”“孟子论威胁下的政治判断”“doing good under pressure”这类搜索，也能把仁政从太平时期推进到危险情境。

引用提示
不要把这章读成消极等待命运。孟子并没有取消行动，而是在区分：哪些结果取决于天时，哪些责任必须先由当下君主承担。
