Daily Teachings #1: Societal Order
Going to try these out for the next few days. Posting a piece of my teachings on here every day.
Society is based on order. Society cannot function without a rigid hierarchy of people, all in constant struggle with one another. The great philosopher Confucius said it like this, “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.” Putting society into an order keeps people in check and keeps the inferior down. There are several different orders of superior-inferior in society and the major ones are:
Ruler-Subject
Parent-Child
Young-Old
Man-Woman
Teacher-Student
Friend-Friend (A friendship is the only true equal in life.)
:-)
(You don’t have to reply to these, just read them if you want.)
