Confucianism & Political System
Today I want to talk about one of my favourite topic - Confucianism.
Confucius has always been my spiritual guide.
Confucianism says that there is only goodness in human. There's no "sin" in us. We've given the Love from God (Tian 天、Tai Ji 太极), which is also our naturally born conscience.
Confucianism says that the capable ones are going to be leader eventually, regardless whatever political system they're in. This is the law of nature. Because God arranged the path for them to become the leaders. Confucianism is always about to go back to the Law of nature, which is the divine law of God.
According to Confucianism, leaders have great responsibility to the people they lead. Leaders have heavy duties to perform. Leaders themselves have to lead by example. In return their followers will pay respect to them. So it's a two way thing.
Leaders have to always stay humble all the time because God is there watching all human. God is all that is. Staying humble is also very much aligned with the law of nature. If you're not against the law of nature, then yes you're on the right path and God will always take care of you.
So, democratic or not, does not really matter. There's no perfect system. Every system has flaws and can be misused for evil purpose. Most importantly, every individual must live the "Jun Zi 君子" out from them, and get rid of the "Xiao Ren 小人" that resides within themselves.
