Confucius Analects-Closing Entry

After finishing Confucius´s Analects I sat down to think. After all, this is a book that leaves you in a pensive sort of mood, wondering about the right and wrong way to lead your own life. Sure, if everyone followed Confucius´s teachings the world would be a much better place, a perfect place. Then again, where would all the fun be? If people don´t mess up ocassionally or make mistakes or things like that life´s exitment would be gone. Of course I´m not saying that the world is fine as it is today, that people should be mean and heartless just for entertainment, but I also don´t want the "ideal" world. It´s all about finding the happy or healthy medium, just like everything else in life.
