The highest type of ruler is one of whose existence the people are barely aware.
Next comes one whom they love and praise.
Next comes one whom they fear.
Next comes one whom they despise and defy.
When you are lacking in faith,
Others will be unfaithful to you.

When his task is accomplished and things have been completed,
All the people say, “We ourselves have achieved it!”
Tao Teh Ching, ch 17, translated by John C. H. Wu

In all “tests” of character, it’s not about who’s right or wrong, but who goes the great lengths to consider the other’s perspective.
