Confucius

Todays date is September 22, 480 BCE and I remember a while back was talking with a good friend Confucius.He was born 551 BCE ,In Northwest china. He told me how he developed the Idea of : GOODNESS to hold society together. He also told me if the ruler is good people will follow his example. When he gets a job working for the goverment he felt he can put his Ideas to practice, but many people in the goverment did not like the ideas. He would always try to blend his idea with traditional chinese ideas.Eventually he dismissed and spends life as a wondering teacher. When he died in 479 BCE confucionism actually became popular, the Han dynasty makes confucianism the offical state philosophy.
