The last couple of classes i have been finding interesting, we have moved on to a different era so the people are different, the literature is different, and everything about the people and how they lived is different. I found today's class extremely interesting because we analyzed and read the The superior man from The Analects of Confucius. I really enjoyed reading these because everybody in class had there own different points of views of reading them and they had all different ideas when it came down interpreting them. Some of them i can relate too and a lot of them made me deeply think. My favorite one was XIV.29 The master said, "The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions". I can extremely relate to this because this is a big thing i should work on and this is also something that made me think that i struggle with. What this quote is saying is that one should not say much but rather let his actions speak for him. This is one of the many quotes that caught my attention. I did realize that if people were to follow all of these quotes their lives would be a lot more relaxed and it could even make them into a better person.
