"Forget injuries, never forget kindness"; "It doesn't matter how slowly you go so long as you don't stop"; "Respect your self and others will respect you" - I like these quotes :) Thanks for posting this teaching video!
These quotes are great, and I do not have a high self-esteem, but currently in my life, I am forced to spend time with people who like to chat about bullshit and little, insignificant things. I am aware that talking about non-sense makes you happy and forgetful to your worries, but it distracts me from following my special ideas, like meditation, philosophy, humanity, morality, truth, religion, etc. And there are times, when I try to engulf my thoughts, feelings and emotions around those ideas, but people just look at me, see me as a vulnerable person, and then they try to simply make stupid comments about me, just to take me off the track. I love everyone, but I wish, that people would find better priorities, than playing X-Box, and chatting with friends. People see me as a stupid person, because I talk little, but when I talk, it's usually a response to their bullying of my humble person. When I look at the world around my person, from Confucius' perspective, I see people wanting to hurt others and to make revenge against the innocent. I feel a little bit, like there is a big stone on my back, because everyone is under-estimating me, and only strangers look at me normally. I feel like people put their weights on me, because I do not retaliate, and I do not insult or fight anyone back. Sometimes, in online games, I make jokes from other players, but we all know that it's just games, and even swearing is funny in games. Surely, I can't judge the whole world, in the view of my little college class and my little family, because the world is much bigger than them, and there are many people who would respect me more, but, patience is the virtue, I guess. I just want to meet a man, or animal, that would respect me and my right to be silent and my right to think things through. Unfortunately, only strangers respect me in that way. None of my family or college mates, respects my right. I think that this is cruel, because speech is the silver, but silence is gold. Confucius is great, and he really makes me think, how much others are influencing the person I am today, even though I am trying to analyse myself not others. My life would be so much easier, if I could live with people who have similar views to mine, and if I could live around the nature and animals. I asked my brother.. "Are you happier than you were 3 months ago?", then he thought about all the materialistic things he has acquired during that time, he thought about all the sex and parties that he has had during that time, and he answered "Yes, I am happier." with an unconvincing face expression. And I am just sad, that people live their lives badly, just to find happiness and excitement. Too little people are choosing to let go of their ego. People that do not see the true beauty of life, see silence as something bad. But, life truly becomes beautiful when you can understand others without talking to them. Why am I writing all of this? Well, maybe to say to myself, and anyone who reads this, that maybe people do not notice my acts, because they are subtle. But, I am hoping that soon people will start understanding my good-will. Why are my acts subtle? Because, as Osho has implied.. Doing kindness is always less visible to the eye, than doing harm. Hate can be stronger than love. If you love someone, you can be tortured or die for that person. But, if you hate others.. You can kill millions of people, destroy the nature, and your acts will be very visible to everyone else. This is why evil is perceived as powerful, and I am perceived as weak. Nothing in this world is known for sure, except that I will keep meditating and being peaceful till the day, that I will die. Today, I am cleverer than yesterday, and tomorrow I will be cleverer than I am today. Some people gain benefits from being evil, for example by stealing, through extortion, etc. But, these people do not see, what true benefits of life are, and that the life's real benefits can be achieved through co-operation between humans. These people think that being good is harder than being bad, but actually, being good is much easier for you and much more beneficial for your body and soul.
Upon reading this i've realised, i have read 7 paragraphs within a minute! While as doing school work i can't even read 1 paragraph within 7 minutes! i dunno maybe its because i give a shit!? Anyway much respect to you.
Here is one of my favorites. "No matter how busy one is, one must takes time to read a book. If not, he will not knowing anything". Here's another one. "A wise man who drinks is the master of himself. A fool who drinks is a slave to the drink and do so more often".
Reflection upon yourself to know who you are! When you stare In a mirror who do you see? The answer is obvious yourself! So if you want to change other people you must look at your own faults to change the world before the world can become a better place. Why because if you known you done mistakes you can change!
u know i always wanted to be wise like confucius because we can learn from people like him i always want to learn new things and i always have ideas to help people
The kind of people watching this video want to change themselves but they can't that is why they are very ego below in most of the comments. The key is to confront yourself even if you don't want to admit your errors. In fact this is human life and human understanding of ourselves. Confucianism is a discipline of better understanding of ous humans as a better person. I myself find it hard to change my habits but I have to humble myself in order to learn. This is what Confucius or Kong Fu Zi is trying to portray the message.
Reconciliation at its purest, is in my opinion, very much like the confusius quote about vengeance. With two major differences, the length of the road traveled, and the number of graves you'll find along the way. J.L.E
I think we each have things about which we are ignorant, at different times of our lives. Ignorance itself is nothing about which to be ashamed. It simply means without knowledge or information. If we are in the dark (so to speak) we can light a candle. However, if we are ignorant, and choose to remain so, that is different. Reminds me of the dwarves in C.S. Lewis' The Last Battle. Be at peace with where you are now, knowing you can choose to not remain there.
I think if I went around all day with a pair of headphones on and this music playing, I would make wiser decisions. I will give it a try and report back.
Search for 'dizi', 'shinobue', 'ryuteki', and 'shakuhachi' flute. Maybe you will also like 'hichiriki'. Koto, shamisen, shakuhachi and biwa are instruments with a typical Japanese timbre. Dizi, erhu and guzheng :Chinese. Guqin is a typical Chinese instrument used in the times of Confucius.
It's sad to see such a wonderful video, full of wisdom and spirituality getting 4000 views, while Justin Bieber get 400 million views. This just confirms that the world is heading the wrong way.
Confucius gives quotes that are to brain delicious Each quote must be viewed for life as precious As he views every moment of life time as auspicious He used to advice kings over matters that are atrocious Despite his nobility, many kings were toward him suspicious He was always against badness that is to life pernicious He wanted humanity to be always for peace of mind cautious That is why, in China, they have built Temples for Confucius !!!
By saying that he lets the ignorant realize he is being ignorant. Yes he will feel hurt/ offended but that would cause him to change himself for the better. I think it would cause the ignorant to stop being ignorant basically =D
@fl260 I don't think he's passing judgement on the 'ignorant', he is just equating a suitable metaphor ie. there is nothing beautiful (moon and star) about being ignorant. Thats the way I understand it. It has nothing to do with hurting or offending anyone. I could be wrong... it is Confucius we are talking about here. Believe X
@mattmerrick nice comment. even a smart guy is unware of his ignorance with common sense. a blind is ignorance of what cannot see but wisely sense of the unseen.
In the Holy Quran it is written that God has sent A Prophet to each Nation; the Last Prophet was Muhammad (PBUH). Confucius was the Prophet of China, an Immortal , Enlightened Master who revealed how to create a Perfect Society. He was vegetarian and gentle, a man of profound humility.
@dragonowner23 If you were in the dark, and closed your eyes because you thought there was nothing to see, and by listening to me discovered that there were stars and a moon to be seen, and so you looked for them, and by opening your eyes found them... by what authority would you be insulted by my initial comment?
身體髮膚，受之父母，不敢毀傷，孝之始也。立身行道，揚名於後世，以顯父母，孝之終也。(Our bodies - to every hair and bit of skin - are received by us from our parents, and we must not presume to injure or wound them. This is the beginning of filial piety. When we have established our character by the practice of the (filial) course, so as to make our name famous in future ages and thereby glorify our parents, this is the end of filial piety.)
Respect/polite plain common sense,Usually understood started at birth .What is the "next" world?Or the superior earth?.Even if,, Ok one will longer exist anyway.Reality ,not silly quotations

Hello Friend,
Would you may enjoy 3 minutes life wisdom of Confucious in my channel.
Take care and Keep learning and growing together.
Know you are a candle simply offering light in the darkness.
A SUPERIOR MAN ACTS BEFORE HE SPEAKS, AND AFTERWARDS SPEAKS ACCORDING TO HIS ACTIONS.
:CONFUCIUS🌷❤🙏💙.
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SLOWLY YOU GO SO LONG AS YOU DON'T STOP🌷❤🙏💙.
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. Nice quote!
THINGS THAT ARE DONE, IT IS NEEDLESS TO SPEAK ABOUT..
THINGS THAT ARE PAST, IT IS NEEDLESS TO BLAME🌷❤🙏💙.
0:54 must be "forget unjust actions towards you, but never forget kindness"
WHEN ANGER RISES,
THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES🌷❤🙏💙.
WHAT THE SUPERIOR MAN SEEKS IS IN HIMSELF,
WHAT THE SMALL MAN SEEKS IS IN OTHERS🌷❤🙏💙.
THE PEOPLE MAY BE MADE TO FOLLOW A PATH OF ACTION, BUT THEY MAY NOT BE MADE TO UNDERSTAND IT🌷❤🙏💙.
HOLD FAITHFULNESS AND SINCERITY AS FIRST PRINCIPLES🌷❤🙏💙.
OUR GREATEST GLORY ISN'T IN NEVER FALLING, BUT IN GETTING UP EVERY TIME WE DO🌷❤🙏💙.
I HEAR AND I FORGET.
I SEE AND I REMEMBER.
I DO AND I UNDERSTAND🌷❤🙏💙.
Here is one of my favorites. "No matter how busy one is, one must takes time to read a book. If not, he will not knowing anything".
Here's another one. "A wise man who drinks is the master of himself. A fool who drinks is a slave to the drink and do so more often".
I absolutely loved this, and actually had an epiphany while reading one of the quotes. Keep doing more... I will be watching!

Thank you for this beautiful video
Confucius say he who listens without talking will be wise he who talks without listening everyone will despise
Wow! Can't figure out how all of a sudden there are so many would be if could be philosophers making out that they fully understand everything.
That was deep bro. Kudos.
~ EXCELLENT ~ Thanks for posting
Mao also said, "Power flows out from the barrel of a gun."
And... 32,000,000 souls found out he wasn't joking.

TO SEE WHAT'S RIGHT AND NOT TO DO IT IS WANT OF COURAGE🌷❤🙏💙.
great visionary and man of wisdom
So awesome. Thank you. Namaste'
thank you. this helped me thru a tough morning

Thank you
Mmmmmm, great vid.....................
so nice, experience giving birth to words
Profound quote
Q: "Do you think this is good?"
A: "Yes. I think this is good."
1up.
Confucius once said when kicked in the groin. Daaaamnit my balls hurts so bad.
Thanks.
If we forget devils of the past, we will never see future demons coming.... O.G. Palmer
So basically the opposite of Confucious, let go bud no good comes out of keeping hold of hate.
thank you, Confucius,, and who ever made this video this is pure wisdom I will learn from it and spread it to humanity
Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
Respect yourself and others will respect your.
I think if I went around all day with a pair of headphones on and this music playing, I would make wiser decisions. I will give it a try and report back.

@ioanjivan its "if you have faults, don't FEAR to abandon them"

Confucius gives quotes that are to brain delicious
Each quote must be viewed for life as precious
As he views every moment of life time as auspicious
He used to advice kings over matters that are atrocious
Despite his nobility, many kings were toward him suspicious
He was always against badness that is to life pernicious
He wanted humanity to be always for peace of mind cautious
That is why, in China, they have built Temples for Confucius !!!
Persious is now out ,worldly items such as gold and silver don't carry the weight of Illicit drugs😎
LOL!
By saying that he lets the ignorant realize he is being ignorant. Yes he will feel hurt/ offended but that would cause him to change himself for the better.
I think it would cause the ignorant to stop being ignorant basically =D
