I finally figured that I don't have to greet anyone when I'm recording down my own thoughts.

Topic:子曰:内省不疚,夫何忧何惧

Been watching百家讲坛于丹《论语》 on channel U, and have learnt quite alot from it. Planning to start reading the 《论语》 soon, I just hope I manage to drag outself out of my laziness and start on it. Anyway, 内省不疚,夫何忧何惧 is basically the most basic condition for attaining the ideal personality in 《论语》, which is 君子. 于丹 has given her own intepretation of this sentence, which I find extremely enlightening. But why, out of so many of those cheem words from the show and 《论语》, why this? Cos it makes me think bout myself, and how far away from君子am I, and how disgustingly close to 小人 I actually am. When I reflect what I've done I never fail to feel guilty. Guilty of what? Guilty of wasting time, guilty of using harsh words on people, guilty of spending money excessively, guilty of not doing my best at literally everything. And so much more. It makes me think back you see, truly reflect. And while I run through what I've done in the pass, I realise how many people I've missed. There have been people whom I've liked very much , and would've liked to get closer to. But for certain reasons (I'm blaming plain stupidity, arrogance, and unfriendliness here) I let them slip out of my life because of my own petty and strange thoughts. Yea... arrogance is kinda like my trademark trait, isn't it. What a sad life. Sigh.

Lets hope reading the 《论语》will make me a better person and save my life.
