Love is a feeling, of utopia peace of mind. It's the feeling of being free of negative thoughts. It's the highest feeling, though can't be sustained. To get love people need to venture into places that don't offer such feelings of love. Love is a government, where the capital is a washing machine.

Sympathetic and knowledgeable. I've seen a couple videos on Confucianism which ridiculously enough see almost nothing else but the Golden Rule in Confucius' teaching. This video shows how much more there is to Confucianism.
Think it would be even better if a few of the other core Confucian texts could be mentioned (plus quotes from them) besides the _Analects, _ plus some of the other major figures in Confucianism, such as Mencius and Zhu Xi.

Is Confucianism a religion and if so does it believe in any god?
