To Confucius, harmony was consensus, not conformity. It required loyal opposition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Confucius was a humanist and an agnostic.
Virtue is harmony.
Without knowing about flexibility, one cannot work out strategies to deal with the enemy and prepare for changes, and without knowing about the foundation of one's own culture, one would be contemptuous of the Confucian ethical codes.
How can we make sure that Confucianism is to be practiced? One must enforce it with power, and to have power, one must have a strong army.
A big element of what they regard as conformity is simply a desire to have an audience.
Conforming is not cool.
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
Harmony is pure love, for love is complete agreement.
Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength.
Virtue can only flourish among equals.
