A Last Word on Confucius

Confucius argues for all individuals to practice Li, which he believes is the one true and just way to live life.  In that way, he agrees with the Taoists; there does seem to be some sort of correct way to live life. As Fingarette points out, the way for Confucius was to see secular and real situations as something that should be revered, be sacred (hence the title, The Secular as Sacred).  On a smaller scale, I think that this type of idea is great, and that we would all benefit from adopting that idea. At the same time, I don't know if I believe that the idea is so profound that it can literally rewrite the social contracts of the societies in which we live. I think that when it comes down to it, people are often faced with decisions that they can't possibly be okay with, and to approach it with a sense of recognition or actualization of it will not make it better. This relates largely to my last post, which postulated that individuals, when faced with two bad decisions, cannot possibly make a just or Li choice.  What do you guys think?
