Confucius said, "The gentleman wishes to be slow in speech but quick in action." Confucius said, "The gentleman considers it a shame to talk more than he does." (Wangdao 173, 175).
This week I have decided to combine two shorter analects in that they are very closely related. Lately, I think I have fallen short in these areas, so I want to try harder this coming week. From what I've learned in the past, honesty is when words and actions match. All words and all actions. It sounds easy, but from my experience, it's not. As for a hypothesis, all I can say is that this will require a much larger comfort zone. Judging from my last post, I think mine is growing. However, I'm excited to see it stretched to its limits this week.
