PHILOSOPHY
Confucius had a well organized social philosophy from politics, teachings to personal growth which I am very fascinated and
keen with any of various thing concerning with socializing and self-development. The philosophy of Confucius is still prevalent
in these modern times. Where as many people are suffering from loathing with one another. I agree with Confucius idea of the
Golden Rule, loving others whilst practicing self-discipline. I believe that as long as you appreciate others will lead you a life
with path of graces. Excluding the part of the rule “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.” Devotionally not
speaking, being kind to others is good but don’t expect that they’ll return the same. Some people mostly today are taking
advantage of a person for being gentle. Sometimes you have to set boundaries.
