I really enjoyed reading the Analects. I learned a lot of Confucian values, and also, I learned how much music was appreciated. While it is only a side topic to Goodness, Virtue, and being a gentleman, Confucius regards music very highly and even says you achieve perfection through it. Being a person who cannot live without music, I was very happy to read this. It made me feel that it is indeed one of the most important things in life, that it isn't just a way to get rid of stress or something to dance to.
I really like the fact that the people in the Analects discuss different aspects of LIFE, and do not even mention God. This is what I'm starting to get into; analyzing life without really trying to explain it through an absolute. I also think that it is a little too harsh. It seems as though people who weren't necessarily Good or didn't have that much Virtue wasn't really a gentleman. I think there are thousands of qualities that define you and the fact that they base it on such little things is irrational.
