Confucianism is a little confusing

      Is it just me or is this chapter a bit confusing. I think I understand it, but reading it defiantly took some time.
      I liked the idea that humans are self-disciplined, and I agree with that for the most part. However, I do think that sometimes humans need an outside force pushing them towards success, especially when the person is not in a right state of mind (depression for example). But then again, many times depressed people often want to get better, and try to seek help. But like most things, there is never a singular answer for all people. 
       As confusing as the chapter was, it got me thinking about my relations with the world and people around me. It made me wonder what made me the person I am today, and who put the ideas of my morals in my head. Having such different morals as my parents I really began to wonder if it was self taught, or if it was the morals of the world that has weaved its way into my brain and given me these ideas.
