Ignorance is like a night of the mind, a night without moon and stars.
However everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. So a dark and empty mind is also a beautiful mind. For an old man full of idealism (some are quite bull IMO), his teachings continue to survive in a pragmatic world. Happy 2559 old man.

From what I've read of The Art of War, it seems more like a book of strategy for achieving military, political, and business goals than a philosophical work.
As for Confucianism, it seems overly repressive, though I would agree that too much freedom (and people thinking that they have rights they don't) would not be conducive to a peaceful society. |

So its not proven that he's actually from that family? What connections does Confucius have to RotTK (direct or indirect family contact please not from philosophy.)? |
