Confucius China

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

If I have to select one most influencive man in the history of Asia It will be confucius.Most probably he is the first who laid down a pattern of thinking in right way for human beings.In most of east asian or i should say asian civilizations one can trace the elements on the thinking line of Confucius or even today,s modern socities are governed by his way.Master Kung was an ordinary man from ordinary family who became extraordinarily influencive due to his simple but rational thinking & teachings.He was of believe that if we have to achieve a state of orderliness & peace we need to keep our right traditions intact.His essence of teaching was to be moraly responsible to your duties & follow the instructionsof your master or senior,whether it is emperor or father or elder brother or husband .

Confucius (551 BC) indicating the possibility that even Jesus was influenced by his wisdom throughout his life and travels. The notions of Filial Piety, goodness, government education, ritual, etcetera, are all based on the fundaments that we have to do good in order to receive it, and Jesus preached and practice them. I can deduct that if Jesus has Confucian ideals, that all religions derived from Jesus existence have as well a Confucian background. The “chain of command” might make modern women think that there is no need to obey a husband (and in modern terms they are right), but still there is an order of things and there are responsibilities and duties in life that only specific persons have to do. I wish Confucianism was more widely taught. I remember having a class in my Catholic high school called “civism” that basically was a Confucian teachings class.

I have been recommended to read:
Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, Jesus by Karl Jaspers
