Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart



Emperor Zhou tagged me in this online survey. I don't understand his reasoning. He says that people need to get to know me better. He is the Emperor and I must do as he says.

You've been tagged, so you are supposed to write a note with the 3's of YOU. At the end, choose people to be tagged. You have to tag me. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you - but not in a creepy stalker kind of way.


Three names I go by:
1. Kongfuzi
2. Master King
3. Kong Qiu

Three jobs I have had in my life.
1. Apprentice Stable Manager
2. Government Official
3. Teacher: This so far is my favorite

Three things about your youth
1. I lived in poverty after my father died
2. I was born in 551 BC
3. I worked extremely hard as a student

Three Favorite Food
1. Ramen Noodles
2. Rice
3. General Tso's Chicken (an American recipe that I quite enjoy)

Three TV shows that I watch
1. 7th Heaven
2. Full House
3. Jeopardy

Three Things I Like To Say
1. All family should be loyal to each other.
2. Do unto others as you would have others do to you.
3. The lower classes would lean by following the example of their superiors.

Three people who e-mail me regularly
1. Laozi
2. Shi Huangdi (He is not my friend. We argue A LOT!)
3. Zhou Emperors

Three of my favorite restaurants
1. Win Wok
2. Chipotle
3. Skyline

Three friends I think will respond
1. Shi Huangdi because he disagrees with a lot of what I say.
2.
3.

Three things I'm looking forward to
1. A government that doesn't regulate and punish people.
2. Social harmony by returning to certain ehtics (also known as moral values)
3. The reunion tour of Simon and Garfunkle

Three books I like reading
1. The Analects
2. The Analects
3. The Analects : Why wouldn't I like something based off of my own teachings?


Respond to this if you so choose. Comments are most certainly welcome.

Family, family, family. All you care about is Family. Society doesn't need anymore family stuff. What society needs is a strict government. What society really need is harsh laws and even harsher punishments. Not mushy gushy family.

Confucius said...

Hey Shi, if we focused more on family and morals we wouldn't need so much government control. If we lead people by virtue (what is right and moral), people will have a sense of what is right without laws telling them what to do.

Laozi said...

Really you two we are all just a part of nature. We should not fight one another. While in nature there are opposing forces we should all strive for being in harmony with the Dao.

I personaly think daoism+confucius would create the best philosophy ever. with the ideas of puting your family and the inviroment will both help stop polution + it will help stop crime.

alex eby in your bell B says... i like his saying Moral leadership, not laws, brought order to china. i like this because leadership is always a good thing because some people might like some of the laws or not like any or so on and so they can try and be a leader and maybe change it some.

Maddie: block A,
I think that this story is all about how the law and power is more important than family. And i think it isn wrong. Also that i think Confucius is the best b/c he cares for his familey more than the law and power of the goverment.

travis costa block c i think that legalizm is a horrible philosophie and that daoism is just plain crazy but confucianism is good minus the obssesion with family family is important though

i think we should put family first but you need friends to help you go through hard times or if you dont wanna talk about stuff with your parents or brothers or sisters YOU CAN TALK TO FRIENDS ABOUT ANYTHING

Anonymous said...

Jared W. blockB........ I deeply think that confucious and laozi have the right idea. I think this way because i respect nature and family but family just a tad more than nature. Oh and Shi Huangdi you don't have to be such a mean person and punish the whole family no matter how effective a family's strength is the most
justified,truthfuland most honored.

Emperor Chan block B:

I will admit, Huangdi, your type of government does work, but people hate you for it. They believe it is too strict and too harsh. So dont be surprised if people try to assassinate you. Go with what Confusious says. If we have moral leaders who lead good lives, people would want to be like them and also lead good lives. It would keep on going and going.

Kayla Block B I think you should respect your mom and dad because if you don't you would not have a place to live.
