Confucius Essential 15,17,18: The Master Is A Person Willing Always To Learn

The Master is a teacher that constantly teaches his pupils and disciples to be each day better. This reminds me of a Mother or a Father that are constantly trying to teach their children to be good. In one part the Master tells his pupils “Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire,” 15, 24 I think that this is one of the basic rules of humanity and you are always taught this by your parents when you are little. In that way the Master is similar to the parents that one might have. He can also be different in one way because the Master does not accept a person that is not willing to learn, but parents always have to accept their children even if they have some problems.
Another aspect of the Master is that he is always willing to learn. He is like a person that can’t get enough of something. Normally if you have too much of something and too frequently you will eventually get bored, but the Master is always willing to learn more and more. He even states “Loving Goodness, without balancing it with love for learning will result in the vice of foolishness.” 17, 8 what I could interpret from this is that one must never completely give up on something because if not you will be filled with the other thing. Maybe what The Master is trying to say is that to have a balanced life is good, but to go in extremes like wanting just goodness or just learning could lead to a bad effect.
