HKG Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Lao Tzu once observed that their are three different kinds of people. 1. Their are those who learn by themselves, he remarked these are very good for society. 2. Those who learn from others and themselves, they also are good for society 3. But the third kind neither learn by themselves or from others, and they are not good for society. Prisons are mostly for this type. Link to comment
Dan R Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ok, but does Confucius agree on the first one? It seems this could be diruptive to society as it can promote divergent thought. (It can produce a Roger !) Link to comment
david_dawei Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 since LZ spoke out at times against learning (which was the way of the confucians), I'd just like to confirm the translation/meaning... which DDJ chapter? Link to comment
