Mistakes seem to be the base of Confuciusness


Yes, mistakes are important in all this. They are mentioned over and over again, was that a mistake? No, it was because of emphasis, and to make sure that everyone got it. Mistakes are important and we all learn from them, even if they weren’t our mistakes. Mistakes are good, but only if you are willing to be better and actually learn something from it. In 17:30 it says: “to make a mistake and yet not to change your ways – this is what is called truly making a mistake.”

Something new was the different types of people. In a way I think we are all similar, we are all humans, have feeling and have the desire to be better, but we are all free to do whatever we want and take the path we prefer to follow. In life we all stay the same, with the same proposes and hopes, but only those who are really dump or extremely smart will be the ones that will always stay the same. When you are too dump you will forget what you wanted to achieve in life, and if you are too smart you will always know what is best and will try to chose the best since the very beginning. While normal people will just change their way all the time. In conclusion, “By nature people are similar, they diverge as a result of practice, only the very wise or the very stupid do not change.” (17.2 and 17.3

I think its actually really important and interesting all the things you can get when reading and analyzing all this things that don’t only help us ponder, but if we follow them they will help us be better and therefore have a happier life.
