Hmmm, maybe because Confucious really never made much sense anyway. He rarely ever followed his own advice, his patience is a virtue was laughable, he had people killed for bringing him the wrong food.

wow , confucious never made much sense anyway........techzee , what i wanna say is u r really ignorant of the Confucian , im not saying how great it is , me mysely dont agree some thoughts of it , but it did n does make a lot sense! n it depends on what way u view at it! at least , itz a huge one of the factors of chinese history all along!

The Chinese educators like teaching idioms or proverbs, direct answers are not good for the soul!!
