Three thousand years ago, China was divided into seven countries. At that period, many famous philosophers appeared in each country and they were all respected by the kings in their own country. It was because the king wanted to use their talent to administer his people and with whose support, the king would then have a strong army for defense as well as for invasion.
Mozi was a famous philosopher in one of the seven countries. His theory was that for our human, we must not only talk, but should put our effort into action. Only action will bring benefit to our practical life.
He criticized other philosophers who only talked and talked and never showed action in the theory of their philosophy.
On the other hand, his theory was also attacked by many other philosophers who said that our life was limited and it was impossible for us to do everything by ourselves. We must create a theory to encourage people to act for building a strong home and a country.
If you are an ordinary person, Mozi’s philosophy is better for our life. We have our plan for our future, but this plan should be carried out by action, not a plan on paper. Of course, to carry a plan into action is not easy and that is why we should learn Mozi’s philosophy for benefit of our own life.
