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. |
