Confucius viewed life in a more positive light than Buddha, seeing it as a blessing rather than a delusion. To Confucius, humans have the opportunity to work together for the common good and attain happiness. While an individual is small compared to the cosmos, Confucius believed that through living morally and attuning ourselves to the natural order, we can find peace and harmony with the universe. The golden rule of treating others as you wish to be treated springs from the concept of justice and giving each person their due. Confucius taught that moral law exists both within ourselves and externally in nature.

Confucius philosophy of life stands strikingly in sharp contrast
with that of his co-oriental sage, Gautama Buddha. To Confucius, life is not a delusion, a curse, and misery as assumed earlier by Buddha, but a living reality, a blessing, a natural priceless right and opportunity to be with your fellows to work together for your common good and finally attain your destiny: HAPPINESS The life of the moral man is an exemplification of the Universal moral order. The life of the vicious man is a contradiction thereof. Man, the Center of Harmony Man is only infinitesimal atom compared with the seemingly infinite cosmos of galaxies and supergalaxies, but to Confucius, man transends insignificance the whole world because of his moral being. Inconstantly doing what is good as commanded by his nature, man becomes one with the natural law attuned to the rhythm of the universe and thus enjoys peace and happiness.
Confucius said:
To find the central clue to our moral being that unites us with the universal order herein lies mans greatest achievement. The Golden Rule Springs from Justice Reason and the natural law constantly enjoin man to live righteously, to offend no one and to give to each one his due. The last mentioned to give to each one is due.
Treat each others as you wish them to treat you. The Moral Law Within and Without The Moral Law Is Everywhere Confucius said: There is nothing more real than that which the eyes cannot see. There is nothing more audible than that which ears cannot hear. Self-Control In consonance with his predilection for the moral qualities of man, Confucius, like all the Oriental and Greek philosophers, stressed the necessity of self-control, that inner restraint in which man shows himself first as man, that interior brake without which, man running with his uncontrolled passions, would rush headlong into disaster or tragedy. Confucius says: He who conquers others is strong He who conquers himself is the greatest victor. Thank You!!
