blog entry for books 15, 17, 18

all of these books talk about how a ruler should rule his kingdom not through lazyness or by what should be done but not done. But by helping the people and doing what you think is best for the poeple. For me a ruler should be firm for those who fear ar more likly to die for their king rather than friends. A man who fears his ruler will stay and fight for fear of punishment if he runs but a friend has nothing to lose if he runs and so therefore has no thought to hold him their.

analect 7,8, and 11

in book 7 i totally agree with the master that wealth is not something worth pursuingso it is better to follow something that you love than something that has no value or meaning to you. Book 8 it has a message that i agree with because there are very few people on earth who are not greedy and would rather learn than to accumalate mony in my opinion. And finnaly in book 11 i have no clue what is happening all that i understand is that some kid died and that master is upset about it.
