Born: 551 BCB·Oufu-China · Died: 479 BCE:Lu.China When someone makes mistakes that hurt your feelings, what will you do? Forgive (原谅) them or stay angry? Confucius (孔子), a great thinker in ancient China, showed his answer to this question in The Analects ofConfiucius《论语》. Confucius said: "Don't mention what is past: don't undo what is cast: don't grasp what is blast." Wha does it mean? If a person made him feel uncomfortable, Confucius said, he would forgive him. Confucius didn't think people were perfect and they would make mistakes. If people just keep others'bad actions in mind, they will become unhappy. So, why not let the bad things of the past go and look to the future? The story of GuanZhong and Duke Huan of Oi (齐桓公) during the Spring and Autumn Period is a good example. Guan Zhong once tried to kill Duke Huan of Oi. But when the Duke knew that Guan could help him look after his kingdom, he forgave what Guan did. So, Guan did his best to help Duke Huan of Oi. Together, they made the kingdom better We think forgiveness is what we do for others, but it's really about keeping ourselves from the bad feelings. Letting go of bad things in the past doesn't mean forgetting them. Instead, we should learn fron them so that we don't make the same mistakes. 56. Confucius was a great thinker of China who died at the age of 57. In Confucius's mind, people would do something wrong, because they were not 58. Guan tried his best to Duke Huan of Oi after the Duke forgave him 59. We should bad things in the past and avoid making the same mistakes 60.
