Another late night with Pepsi… me and eld where in the chatroom and this conversation came about.


eld, do you like confusious?
or however you spell it
confucius

  • ava_lurk has quit IRC
    yeah, do you like his teachings?
    hmm.. i’m only acquainted with some of them
    no, I’m not going to post about confucius
    he is in general respected though some people criticise him for being chauvanistic and etc
    yeah
    I came across a copy of the analects yesterday and it made me think of itrad
    oh? which part of it?
    about how learning the rights of society and learning from your elders is the way of the sages
    hehe yes
    but he also said, don’t be too proud to learn from your juniors
    lol, he also said it was sinful to seek profits… ie commercial recordings… hehe
    oh man.. this is going to be quite funny.. confucianism and itm
    lol, we should post this chat transcript on the forum

We could go on forever but Confusius was right about itm too… who knew?

This is wisdom.

Not that I’d know anything about that, you understand.

That’s great, Jack. Thanks for posting it after all. I may already do this, but it’s good to be reminded of it too, so that I may continue to respect this fact which I consider a very important point regarding the tradition (for some reason, “tradition” is important to me…).

Geez, I keep wanting to add one more sentence, and every time I try, it comes out wrong - I know I’ll say something that someone will disagree with and will require that I defend… So I’ll just leave it at that :slight_smile:
