After finishing Confucius I have come to one conclusion and that is not to believe everything I see. Sometimes human beings can be very trustworthy at what is thrown at them like the newspapers and media. This is very dangerous because if you do this then you are not forming and opinion for yourself but you are following what other people say. Sometimes it may not hurt the person but other times the public’s general idea can be wrong. As the master mentions “When the multitude hates a person, you must examine them and judge for yourself. The same holds true for someone whom the multitude loves.” (15. 28) a person might argue that Confucius is wrong and it is important not to believe what that person is saying but to form a personal opinion on Confucius. If you are able to do this then you will be able to live your own life. I don’t agree in all that is mentioned because I also believe that you can take the different opinions and use them as back up to form your own opinion. It shows us how important it is to compare but still have our own opinion. Overall I believe that Confucius is one of the greatest texts that I have ever read and that by reading it I have learned some of the most important teachings in my life.
A blog that I could really compare myself to was Daniel Toros “Universal Community”. I felt as If his ideas about women and how he interpreted what the book was saying was very similar to mine. I agree with him that women have been mistreated for a very long time and there still is some preference of men over women. To me this point is clear but I don’t necessarily agree that this has had nothing to do with women. I believe that no problem comes when one person is totally innocent and by saying this I feel that women have let men take the advantage and now it is very hard for them to catch up.
