All about Confucius...
Preface
Who is Confucius?
We have all heard of this great name in history. But who is he.
Well, Confucius lived about 2500 years ago in China. Many old sayings have been translated over the past centuries because his teachings or sayings embodied ideas that transcend time and apply to human behaviour in all societies.
The sayings of Confucius are more of a philosophy for peace and harmonious living within society. The emphasis is on social interactions.
In other words, Confucious tries to define how a good person should behave in society. In earlier or olden times, a good person is generally used to refer to people who are either good or bad.
Take for example, if one were to say, "A good person does not steal". This sentence tells us the righteousness of that person. However, if one were to say, "A person who flows in peace and harmony does not steal". Here, it means this person is in harmony with other people. He or she tends to be at peace with oneself and with others.
