If their father have stolen a sheep, they will bear witness to the fact." Confucius said, "Among us, those who are upright are different from this. The father conceals the misconduct of the son, and the son conceals the misconduct of the father. Uprightness is to be found in this." (Analects 13:18) nn0901/rbiedermann / funny-sheep.jpg
19 3. The Way of Confucianism_ Rulership Mandate of Heaven: harmony, authority If your desire is for good, the people will be good.
