The whole Confucius teaching is to be blind , dumb and stupid. The whole teaching lack understand human nature. It have no practical application in real life. What good maybe bad, what is moral maybe immoral, what is right maybe wrong.

@tomabc2003 Confucius teachings were basically to be one with yourself, and to bring peace of mind. It is not blind nor is it "stupid" it is simply to be at peace with yourself and the surroundings.

If we were to ALL listen to these teachings then there wouldn't be much hate in the world.

Peace be with you.

I suspect some of these quotes aren't in fact from Confucius at all. The one at 1:06 for example. (Did Confucius know about diamonds?) I don't remember coming across them in the Analects. Perhaps if this vid could tell me which chapter and which line in the Analects they came from...

Confucius was a great man of wisdom, but that doesn't justify putting everything you like in his mouth.

Before I made this video, I did some research on what he said and that quote was one of the things he said. I didn't just "Put things in his mouth" because he was a great man and doesnt deserve that. And it would be utterly wrong.

He is highly respected in my race and region and it would be utterly wrong to do that.

Maybe I missed something. It would help if you could tell me which chapter and which line in the Analects (Lun Yu) those quotes are from so I can check them out.

I'll try and find it, i made this video so long ago on my old macintosh which had broken down on me. I'll get back to you on this.

Im american and I even respect these sayings. I hate how most people on YT make us look like jack asses by saying stupid comments like "AMERICA RULES ZOMG!" Well we're all not like that.

@tomabc2003 He had other teachings too... public service, and how about the original "golden rule."

[tomabc2003]

@alisonhuang2008 Good for you, should I said " Good Luck in Life". Confucius is not for me because it is not practical in the world I LIVE.

[alisonhuang2008]

@tomabc2003 not I know better, but I understand it totally... However, for u, I have to say u have misunderstanding abt Confucius...

[tomabc2003]

@alisonhuang2008 I have different understanding Confucius, but you certainly think you know better.

[alisonhuang2008]

@tomabc2003 @tomabc2003 U must do not read the ANALECTS anymore, or u do not understand it totally. Hope you just read English version or some other languages versions. If u read the orignal ANALECTS 论语, u should not say " the whole Confucius teaching is to be blind" ... poor guy...

'It's better to be a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without one.' My translation of what I think he means by this is that it's better to be the King and having to kill to get there than be a noble who has done nothing wrong. Are you sure he said this? Doesn't sound very wise to me.
