有朋自遠方來不亦樂乎
有朋自遠方來不亦樂乎
Isn't it also pleasant to see friends from afar?
樂, it's nice that a friend recognizes me.
The word to keep in mind here is 朋, which means friend.
Friends here do not mean hometown friends, elementary or middle school classmates, that is, bamboo shoots.
Judging from the overall context of the Analects, a friend is a person you meet when walking consciously by choosing your own 'self-aware path' through the 'credentialing test'.
Only when there is a 'self-reliant me', a self-reliant being who consciously walks the path and feels the joy of learning and learning.
How great will the joy be that a friend like this has come to me from a far, not near, place?
It describes the true joy and desperate pleasure that can only be obtained as a human being, regardless of the intervention of external sources and the achievement of wealth and glory.
"刮目相关, every scholar must rub his eyes and look again after three days pass when dealing with people."
A person who walks the path with a willful will can make amazing progress in just three days. A friend is someone who can quickly notice such a development. In this way, a friendship should be a relationship that not only recognizes each other's growth but can also offer criticism and advice generously. A 'Friend' is a gift that can only be found by those who walk their own path and know how to 'experience the crane'.
Zigong said, "What is a friend?"
"A friend is a friend who gives you sincere advice and leads you on the right path. However, if you do not listen to advice even after giving it a couple of times, you will end the relationship. If you are a friend, you may be insulted by your friend if you are too fussy about it." - 23 Ahn Yeon-pyeon
They say that being friends is not just a personal relationship where you can relate to each other. To Confucius, friendship, friendship, is not a feeling that exists between people, but rather a cold thought that comes from walking on a 'conscious road'.
The friendships learned through Confucius can only be created between 'meetings between mature beings', that is, between people who are consciously 'conscious' and walk their own path.
Wouldn't it be great if a friend like this came from far away?
Wouldn't it be great if you could be with a friend like this, who is a 'happy' being who walks the same path as me?
Friendship is one of the greatest joys in life. You must live and enjoy this.
