Confucius meets Lao Tzu
61
Long before I posted in some pages and I wanted to write about the conversation between lao Tzu and Confucius. Here it is:
Confucius was the wisest man in China. he was the advisor to the King, Ministers, Teachers,
Doctors and everybody. As he grew old, he felt something missing. he was highly learned,wise and everything, but some spark was missing.
It so happened that someone told him about the old guy, lao Tzu, who from all angles appeared very ordinary yet appeared to have something in him that most did not have.
So, Confucius went to Lao Tzu and asked him, "Sir, can you tell us how to establish moral values in the society? Can you tell you to develop character in the people?".
Hearing this, lao Tzu laughed for a long time. Then he said, "Only an immoral person goes looking for moral values. Only a characterless person will search for the ways of developing the character. One having morals in him does not go looking for it outside. One having character in him does not go around trying to develop it."
He added, "It is enough to be natural with what one has."
