Mencius disagrees with the Poker Face of parenthood, and with the idea that we are too close to each other to be ourselves. Mencius demonstrates his commitment to family values. On the dilemma between kinship and justice, Mencius argues that the principle of justice has limited limits on kinship and can not alter the order between parents and children due to changes in social status.
