Passion The Key To Life!

The analects were different teachings until the end were Confucius unties them all or gives an example of how someone would relate the lessons given. “The gentleman takes rightness as his substance, puts it into practice by means of ritual, gives it expression through modesty, and perfects it by being trustworthy. Now that is a gentleman!” (p.45 15.18) this is the perfect example of how should a person be according to Confucius. This gentleman described was the missing key to all of Confucian learning, this quotation marked me because it made me understand the book overall better than I did one week ago.
Book seventeen of the analects, talks about the six virtuous words and corresponding vices. This was my favorite part of the book because I learned from it and enjoyed reading it. “Loving Goodness without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of foolishness. Loving wisdom without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of deviance. Loving trustworthiness without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of harmful rigidity. Loving uprightness without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of intolerance. Loving courage without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of unruliness: Loving resoluteness without balancing it with a love for learning will result in the vice of willfulness.” (p.49 17.8) it explains how you should always have a passion to keep learning or to live. Living each day means learning something new that is why this quotation refers to passion. As you should have it for the rest of our lives. You can’t love without passion you can’t live without passion.
Passion for me is the key of life.
