Living virtuously in the philosophy of Confucius
Introduction
Confucianism is one of the oldest philosophies that teach people how to live life . It mainly centers its focus on the idea on social as well as ethical teachings rather than religious. Veritably, this philosophy could be witnessed as one teaching people how to live a virtuous life. It won’t be wrong to say that philosophy of Confucius is more linked with living a life that would be accepted and appreciated by the Creator (Chuang,et,al,2018). According to the philosophy of Confucius, when one would be following all the set social norms and rituals of society in which he/she living, undoubtedly he would be living a virtuous life.
Discussion
Confucianism is primarily concerned with character building, teaching of acceptable human behaviors and ways of life that would be in accordance with the ritual of a society. This philosophy stresses upon that the idea that rather than thinking ways of life are spiritually correct, one should pay attention to the area the life one is living, if it is welcoming by the society or not (Luo,et,al,2019). Taking a look at the present circumstance, I could say that in the present world in most of the societies virtuous living is now being associated with social teachings. I have witnessed that people who spend their lives as per the rituals and the ethical teachings are appreciated more. There is great number of people who are following philosophy of Confucian for having a virtuous life.
Conclusion
Behavior, supported by any society that is in accordance with the rituals rarely clashes with any religious teaching, so I have witnessed that society where people follow the rituals and set patterns. So as a whole, it could be promulgated according to Confucianism, only those people could live virtuous lives who spend their lives as the traditions and rituals of a community. According to me, one playing his/her traditional role could be looked upon as the example for living a virtuous life.
