Confucious

According to the text, the Analects by Confucious is a collection of terse and innocuous sayings as wells as anecdotes. In the Analects, Confucious teaches his disciples to preserve the Chou traditions by the ideals of social thoughts. Despite that the Chou dynasty is weakened by other kingdoms, their tradition is absorped by the new kingdoms such as the Chin kingdom. Confucious students learn respect for each other and to have dignity in their actions. I enjoy reading Confucious text because of his ideals and how he answers the particular things in life.
Most of Confucious ideals state that things happen because of a natural or moral force. He does not intertwine with the Mandate of Heaven, but sill show reverence towards divination. When his disciples question him how to restore power, and his answer is to let it happen naturally. Confucious favos Tseng Hsi's simple perspective of joy in the simple things in life.
Confucious also does not believe in fighting. His disciples ask what his views are of war. Confucious sees warfare as a waste of time. He says that one should defend themselve from warfare. I agree with his ideal that war is a waste of time. Why should one fight each other and end up at the starting point?
