Goodness is an ideal state, that is the establishment of the realm of Great Harmony, where human beings live and work in peace and contentment as one community. Confucius and his students described the blueprint of that world: There is no private property and all facilities are for public use. Every one is put in the right place so that they can do their best. Officials elected are noble and competent. Common people give full play to their abilities and make a valid contribution to society. In such a world, people show consideration for each other and every one lives a happy life. The young get a proper education; the elderly are well looked after; widowers, widows, orphans and the childless can be equally cared for. Society maintains stability and prosperity without theft, robbery
or war.
So far we can see that the benevolence Confucius refers to is actually fraternity. Heaven and earth are parents, all human beings are sisters and brothers.
Is it difficult to be Good? No, Every one has the potential if he chooses to cultivate the capacity in himself. That is "A man can enlarge his Way, but there is no Way that can enlarge a man."
