This one is so true. Whenever I am angry or in conflict with someone, especially here, if I examine why I'm angry, often it is my own weaknesses that are to blame.

But most of the time it's because my boss is an unreasonable arse.

I've read that Confucius loses so much in translation that his actual meaning is often quite different.

For all we know, "When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves", could have been his way of asking for a plate of kung pao chicken.
