You appear to be caught up in "isms" CHYNAGYRL. The fabricators of those "isms" wouldn't make a patch on Confucius' back side. Without his teachings, the Chinese people might not have been able to endure the hardships faced through China's history.

Keep in mind that people often misinterpret the words written in great books of philosophy to justify their poor behavior or to advance their own evil agendas. American slave holders used the Bible to justify slavery...and consider the wars fought in the name of Christ or other great prophets.  There are countless examples of this in world history.

Presuming the worst is easy, especially when under the influence of persuasive peers.

Read Confucius for yourself and make your evaluation with a sense of the conditions in his time. When compared with ancient times, life is easy today. Hard times make for difficult decisions that can easily be second-guessed from the comfort of an armchair.

One last thing, be especially wary of those who counsel you to abandon the values taught to you by your family. Those values are the metal that support the greatness of Chinese culture.

You must protect and defend those values for your children's future.[/quote]
