I know these are not the same topic, however i felt a second post on the same topic would be a bit redundant and tired. I would like to respond to some of the comment however.
Andrew Harris : I can see the point you are making with the right of one to disregard another life.
However when that life was solely create by another and the fetus is yet to acquired a beating heart
who is truly alive. Was the chicken or the egg first ?
Aldair Avalos : it is very understandable for people to take the responsibility for their own decisions,
however we are in a society where the burden of responsibility always lies with the mother. The father
is legally obligated to care for the child ( which rarely happens if they have chosen not to do so ) and
you are left with a mother caring for a child on her own often unprepared therefore hindering a childs
life in ways of physical and emotional support.
Confucius was a philosopher in china around 551-479 B.C.E. He based his philosophy off the idea that
man need no ruling religion just inner and outer good deeds and will to reach a place of complete bliss.
He believed in Ren and Li, the inner and outer self , and its effect on the actions and interactions of
communities. I believe that inner and outer harmony trumps any organized religion attempt at peace.
If communities focused solely on maintaining or even promoting a unified body of people not ruled by
laws and punishment but ruled on the benefits they could provide for one another.
With individuals all working to please one another and find their inner happiness, the environment would
grow harmonious with less crime and a possible barter trade system. Confucius also played a part as
mediator between conflicting regions of china and rulers. There has been argument debating weather any
mediators today could be truly impartial between two countries. Someone who could say they had no part in
either side of the situation. I believe the reason he could be impartial is because of the high pedestal he placed
family and role characteristics on. He believed that rulers should treat their people as their children, allowing the
children to disagree as well as agree with their choices and decisions.
The philosopher also thought the people had the right to impeach any ruler who seemed unfit for the role.
I often think this is possibly why it didn’t last very long. The point of a ruler is to make decisions that are to
controversial or hard for a mass to make on their own. Also taking into consideration many are very uneducated
about what is considered RIGHT or APPROPRIATE. I guess if people began with confucius first steps of getting
sound with their inner ren and outer Li they would have less ulterior motives in their decisions and ideas of a singular
rulers opinion and the political aspects.
Often i wonder if he gave lessons to the emperor on self fulfillment and even political advice seeing as he served as
a justice, or so it is recorded. There seems to be a emphasis on the role of confucianism and the state playing hand
in hand with his meeting between the rulers however because it was less of an organized religion and more of a
lifestyle choice, there were less characteristics of confucianism in the resulting government
If confucianism was apart of today’s society i can't imagine a single person i would want at the meetings
between the United States and Russia or other feuding countries. However as a practical way of dealing with the many citizens of the united states today and their inability to relate to common religious standards. They would focus on fulfilling their true wants and needs and then projecting the same positivity and completeness to those around them and their community as a whole. Crime rates would decrease, poverty, and maybe even suicide rates with a mass participation of those willing to truly commit.
