Confucius and Confucianism-The Essentials

Confucius and Confucianism-The Essentials

 

By: Lee  Dian Rainey

 

Confucius was born over 2,500 years ago. Why would we want to know what he said? How could someone from that long ago be of any importance to us now? Confucius faced many of the same problems we do: governments telling lies; an enthusiasm for military adventures; great social, economic, and technological changes; a society that seemed to be losing any respect for education and for moral behavior; growing sleaziness and ignorance. Confucius offers solutions to these problems. You will fi nd that what he has to say applies to our dilemmas and to us today. Confucius said that we can become responsible, adult people who behave properly. If we can do that, we can change the world we live in. Unlike many people today, when Confucius talks about morals and virtues, he does not do it to accuse others or to force his thinking on anyone. Confucius tells us that we should become educated, not to get a job, but to become better people. [download]
