The Analects

De: Confucius

Narrado por: Bruno Roubicek

One of the undisputed giants in the history of human thought, and the founder of one of the world's longest-lasting cultural traditions, Confucius (known as Kong Fuzi in his native China) is arguably the most enduring of all the world's great thinkers.

The Analects, the slender volume thought to have been compiled by his followers, has the strongest claim to represent Confucius' actual words. Sometimes pithy, sometimes conversational, occasionally enigmatic, often profoundly searching, the book contains memorable sayings about the moral health of the individual, the family and the body politic, and continues to be a source of inexhaustible wisdom after more than two and a half millennia.

I find more carity and enlightenment from Laozi's writings. perhaps if I was in public service I would find more meaning.

No

How this childish slave Manuel has survived for so long and continues to be applied goes to show the immense mass minded slave like conformity of the orient. Don’t think for yourself, don’t resist, don’t be creative, uphold propriety, live for mindless ritualized action, only value what’s selfless, you need not thrive, give up on pride, boldness, and all great strivings, only self renunciation, self denial, world denial, hatred of actual life will do. Swear of all that gives life pleasure and meaning. Become a walking corpse, follow the path of the great Chinese slave master,
