A Chinese Sage Creates a Guide for Personal Conduct
"Forget injuries; never forget kindness." " What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small seeks is in others." "Have no friends not equal to yourself." So spoke the Chinese philosopher K'ung-Tze  better known as Confucius (551-478 B.C.)
Confucius believed that all people live within limits established heaven, which for him meant both a supreme being and the fixed cycles of nature. All the same they are resonsible for their actions and how they treat others- and heaven depends upon them to carry out its good intentions. His rues for the virtuous life were simple: to love others , to honor ones parent, to do things because they are right and not merely to win advantages. He put heavy emphasis on rituals and on setting a good example as a means to ensure the spread of righteousness.
