Disciples holding bamboo slips chant lines from Lunyu (The Analects), “all those within the four seas can be considered his brothers,” during the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, August 8, 2008. Bamboo slips were the earliest book form in ancient China.

Too many people try to impress you with what they have rather than what they have done to make the world a better place.

君子喻於義,小人喻於利。
The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort. The superior man thinks of righteousness; the small man thinks of material advantages he may gain for himself.
—Confucius (孔子), The Analects (論語) ch 4 (475 BCE)

January Reading Wrap-Up
January is always the month I finish the most books in. Minimal commitments and taking advantage of specials in local bookshops will do that for you.
And I think on the most part, this year started off strong! Here's hoping the rest of it is filled with good books.
Tumblr media
Samurai by John Man - Could have skipped. 2/5
All The Lovers In The Night by Meiko Kawakami - The relationships between the characters and the pivotal role light plays throughout the book made me feel like I was floating. 5/5
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong - Domestic, painful, beautiful. 5/5
The Analects by Confucius - I read this to a parrot I was looking after; one of the most strangely dark academia things I've done. 4/5
Red, White And Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston - As sugary sweet as the opening cake. 4/5
Boy Parts by Eliza Clark - Good in its own right, but calling it the 'female American Psycho' does a disservice to both books. 3/5
Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart - Bound to be one of the most depressing books I'll read this year. 4/5
Three Assassins by Kotaro Isaka - Pop art violence; the ending makes everything wrap up so neatly. 4/5
Find Me by Andre Aciman - Ironically, not what I was looking for. 2/5
No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy - Chigurh makes me understand why slasherfuckers are like that. 4/5
The Seven Military Classics Of Ancient China by Various Men - War never changes. 3/5
Bunkai-Jutsu: The Practical Application Of Karate Kata by Iain Abernethy - I'm not a karateka, but the discussions in this book were eye-opening in their own regard. 4/5
Bunny by Mona Awad - It's Fight Club, it's The Rehearsal, it's everything that came before and something entirely new 5/5

Have heard claims that they originally intended Inquisition to start with you at the Conclave and walking around and talking to the attendees before everything blew up but decided against it because “Oh it’s too slow-paced to start, we need something more dramatic and engaging” but the thing is like. That really could have done a lot to establish the Inquisitor as an actual character with a life-history and relationships as well as averting the whole “No one fucking went to the Conclave” thing

Tecumseh, the Indian: His Majestic Poetry (Essay)
Tumblr media
imaginary drawing
This is a poem by Tecumseh at the end of the movie "Navy Seals".
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ ・・・・・・・・・・・・
live a life free from the fear of death
don't undermine people's beliefs
Respect other people's ideas and ask them to respect yours
love life and live it to the fullest
Make everything beautiful
Try to live long and devote yourself to the people you care about
and when the time comes
Don't be a prisoner of the fear of death
I need more time
Don't be the one who laments that you want to start over with a different life
hum a hymn
Die like a hero returns
I think it's a majestic poem that doesn't defile the dignity. In a short poem, one vision of life is concentrated. He also has a clear view of life and death. Who can write a poem like this...?
Below, from wikipedia
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Tecumseh or Tecumtha (Tekamthi, 1768? – October 5, 1813) was an American Indian warrior or chief of the Shawnee tribe, and a symbol of the colonial resistance movement against the whites.
The only way to stop this evil, the invasion of the white men, is for the Indians to band together and claim common and equal rights to the land. Land was never divided before. It belongs to all of us Indians.
No Indian tribe has the right to sell land, even among the same tribe. Moreover, they absolutely do not have the right to sell to white people who have come from outside.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The last few lines are from Tecumseh's speech.
Sociologist Max Weber, famous for ``Protestant ethics and the spirit of capitalism,'' read the Analects (Book on Confucius’s saying and deed) and said, ``This way of speaking resembles an Indian chief.'' … Well, from the European perspective, I think both are the same, with the underlying meaning that white people are free to control and persecute.

"Be loyal and trustworthy. Do not befriend anyone who is lower than yourself in this regard. When making a mistake, do not be afraid to correct it."
Tumblr media
Confucius, born Kong Qiu was a Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages. Confucius's teachings and philosophy underpin East Asian culture and society, and remain influential across China and East Asia to this day.
Born: Qufu, Jining, China
Died: Lu, China
Life and Times: Confucius, also known as Kong Fuzi or Master Kong, lived during the Spring and Autumn period of Chinese history, around 551–479 BCE. He was born in the state of Lu (modern-day Shandong, China) during a time of political and social unrest.
Founder of Confucianism: Confucius is considered the founding figure of Confucianism, a philosophical and ethical system that emphasizes the importance of moral values, social harmony, and the cultivation of virtue. His teachings are primarily compiled in a collection known as the "Analects."
Five Relationships: Confucius emphasized the importance of social harmony through the concept of the Five Relationships, which include ruler-subject, father-son, husband-wife, elder brother-younger brother, and friend-friend. Maintaining proper conduct within these relationships was seen as essential for a harmonious society.
Ren and Li: Two key concepts in Confucianism are "Ren" and "Li." Ren refers to benevolence or compassion, emphasizing the quality of humaneness and the importance of cultivating virtuous relationships. Li encompasses rituals and proper conduct, emphasizing the importance of social etiquette and moral propriety.
Legacy and Influence: Confucius' teachings have had a profound and lasting impact on Chinese culture, ethics, and philosophy. Confucianism became a central part of Chinese thought and greatly influenced the moral and social fabric of East Asian societies. Even today, Confucian principles continue to shape aspects of Chinese culture and governance.
