History

Most interesting piece !

But I wish to offer some nuances.

Quan Nguyen is certainly not wrong concerning the Animal Kingdom aka The Lower Trigram but with the presence of Infinite Awareness aka The Upper Trigram activated, the sheer reality of *Might makes Right* can be transformed into *Might serving Right*

Practically speaking, the gentleman (the 君 子/junzi for Confucius 551-479, the aristocratic man for Plato 427-347) upholds the highest principles and the noblest behavior but he's not a clumsy nerd. He knows that for offering the ideal of *Might serving Right* to the World, words are far to be enough; he himself has to be of high epistemological level and capable of creativity, of making THE NEEDED TOOLS OF POWER FOR UPHOLDING JUSTICE.

IN A NUTSHELL : Even if someone is right, that someone still needs Might (the tools of power) for upholding Right. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE RIGHT. Life doesn't owe anyone Justice *just because* he's right. That individual still has to get somehow the appropriate tools of power and using them skillfully for honorably defending his cause.


EXISTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE to be deeply contemplated by all of us and more importantly, acted upon : WE ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GROWTH OF OUR MINDS so TO BE ABLE of creating the aforementioned tools of power AND abiding in the highest Good in asserting our rights and AT THE SAME TIME taking into account the others' rights, THAT'S THE LIVING REALITY OF RECIPROCITY 恕 (shu4). 恕 can also be translated as forbearance or better (according to me) as *consideration for others*

That's the ultimate message of The ICEM4B5C (The Imperial Chinese Everlasting Matrix of the 4 Books & the 5 Classics) : 大 一 统 (Da4 Yi1 Tong3) meaning *The Great Union* that is to say The Great Union of The Upper Trigram & The Lower Trigram aka The Great Union of Justice & Power.

That's what Socrates called the Unity of the Virtues. He also said : Knowledge is Action.

Knowledge (Epistêmê) has to be understood here as Infinite Awareness (Upper Trigram/Being/Timelessness), not Information and Skills/Know-How (Lower Trigram/Becoming/Time).
