Analects 1 to 3
What I liked about these teachings is that he doesn’t involve any religion at all. He talks about being good, about being a good person not a god-like person and this makes it easier since our religion shouldn’t affect our behaviours in regards to society and etc. I find it amazing, how he uses radical thoughts for the moment and manages to get all that followers. In my opinion, there is not just one right way to do things and that’s why I think that what he teaches is very important. He has a different way of solving things like for example, he states that he prefers to guide people based on rituals rather than on punishment because rituals makes them feel ashamed while punishments makes them want to avoid them and cause them to brake the law. Another thing that I admire of him is that he stated that he had no plans of ruling a civilization or controlling the world. He wanted to express his teachings, that were enough work to do, and he didn’t want to do anything else.
