Okay, you implied the Confucians were rigid, boring, humorless.

The fact is, the classic Confucian education included sports, archery, horsemanship, poetry, dance, painting, calligraphy. The Confucian model was that of the well rounded gentleman.

^^ if that is what you call a boring ascetic life, it was reasonable for me to conclude you align with the drunken partying frat boy model that is assumed to come from Epicurus.

was the persecution of falun gong wrong?

Persecution of people simply for disagreeing with them is wrong.

Persecution of pedophiles, mass murderers and other assholes who seek to harm innocent people is A-Okay with me. Shoot them in the fucking head! LOL

I accept your belated and tacit confession that the Confucian model of a flourishing life does not include being stiff, boring, and ascetic.

I have had no substantial conversations here about ZEN....I did once have with someone a long conversation about what I call Zen Socialism over at DP, but that was DP.

Nobody here has ever been interested enough to enquire as to what I believe.

Do I know perhaps you from DP?

I did my best work @ DP.

You know how too much rich food over too long a period can get to be oppressive?

This is where my life is at the moment...running too rich.

I am not at my best.
