Thoughts and Reflections: "The Indifference of Confucius"

   
       Confucianism is indifferent to what went on before and what will come after. Christianity worries about what came before us, which is god, and what comes after us, heaven and hell. Confucianism worries about the now and the relationship of family, society, friends and government. Confucianism is a social practice which does not contain some of the elements of other religions, like Christianity and Islam. It is primarily an ethical system to which rituals have been added which are important at times during one's lifetime. In Confucianism you don't really pray and their is no god who will solve all your problems.  Instead you have solve to solve your problems yourself as part of society.
