Question: Why was Mo Tzu's call for universal love rejected? After all, it is very similar to the Christian idea agape; in fact the whole idea seems very similar to Christian ideas. Why was it rejected there and then, when it is so influential today?
Suggestion: Confucianist thought is pretty much still the roots of Korea... even more so than China, since China abolished Confucianism completely during their communist rule. Yet this school of thought, which is the roots of our culture, seems to fade away as time goes. Maybe it is the reason of the anomic state of Korean society. Revival of some of these values may be a way of changing Korea for the good.
Comment: Tradition nowadays is much weaker. Society is becoming more and more diverse, and as it does, tradition becomes diluted. This is quite like the age of Confucious, where warring states and the social status quo made society collapse. Confucianism, or part of it, can be an answer to the troubles we face today.
