Historical story

Mozi, a famous thinker in the Warring States period, met a fortune teller on his way to Qi State. The fortune-teller said that he was pale and unfit to go. Mo Zhai didn't believe him at all, saying that fortune tellers are superstitious, and superstition can't overcome the truth. Taking superstition to deny the truth is like "throwing an egg at a stone", which does no harm to the truth.
