CONFUCIUS TO CONFUSING

I do not want to say categorically that we live in a time of

extreme confusion, but a number of facts seem to

corroborate the contrary. In a globalize world, wealth and

welfare have not been equitably and evenly distributed

among nations. The rulers do not always govern thinking

about the well-being of their peoples. Corruption, that

miserable evil has not been extirpated and champions for

its respect in all spheres of human activity, especially in

those of the public. The productive forces have reached a

considerable degree of development capable of

guaranteeing the basic material goods of the entire world

population and yet in many countries the population is

hungry, there are material needs of all kinds and many

children die of malnutrition and curable diseases.

Education and access to universal culture are not within

everyone's reach. Nor does medical care reach all people.

There is talk of ethics and morals and immoral positions

are often adopted. The deception, the lie and the lack of

honesty are shown daily in society. Humility, decorum,

respects and human consideration is not what abounds.

None of this is globalize and it is what we need to share

and get to the most remote places on the planet.

And it is not that doctrines or ethical principles have not

been elaborated to address all the evils we have

mentioned, on the contrary, the human spirit studied these

problems from the earliest civilizations and in a universal

sense. Proof of this is what we bring to you about one of

the most prolific and ancient thinkers in history: The

Chinese philosopher and philosopher Confucius, who

more than 25 centuries ago developed a moral,

educational and governance doctrine in order to achieve

well-being Of all human beings regardless of their social,

economic or caste status. This is why in a modest way we

approach transcendental aspects of their doctrines that

can guide us all in this age of real or apparent confusion.

In short, more than 450 aphorisms of the celebrated

Chinese philosopher and wise man are related to

government, education, ethics, family, and justice,

corruption, among others, all or almost all with full

validity.
