Confucious

Confucianism is the study of general structure of society. A lord and his kinsmen are to respect one another. The lord will be a mentor and a friend to the kinsmen at the same time. The team of lord and kinsmen will be making decisions on behalf of the society as a whole and as such, they are required to be wise and knowledgeable. The respect that the subordiante and the superior have must be mutual and sincere. There is a saying in China. A gentlemen weighs yi more then anything while a xiaoren values profit. The idea is that when a man acts out of rightousness, he is doing the correct thing regardless of the law. If the law itself violates justice, then people must act in defience against that law. The idea of what one does not wish for oneself, one ought not to do to anyone else is quite mutual all over the globe. Although at the same time, Confucious does not promote turning the other cheek. By turning the other cheek, the other person is enabled to continue their action further. If someone is mistreating another person, they deserve whatever that is coming back to them as part of the retributive justice.
