Essay / Essay Confucius and Lao Tzu - 1249
Referee: Hello everyone, I am extremely upset to present to you a terrible debate between Confucius and Lao Tzu. Confucius was raised in a very unique family as a lower noble. There are many interesting but ridiculous theories about our other guest, Lao Tzu. Many believe he was a great philosopher while others believe he was invented by random people. We will have Confucius, Lao Tzu, me the referee and a judge called What Tzu. He is not related to Lao, but Lao is convinced that he is his father. Confucius: Hello, my name is Confucius and I was born in a small Chinese state of Lu in 551 BCE (Perkins, “Confucius”). I have a lot of smart ideas to propose, like bringing humanity to my beautiful people. I am one of the most important figures in Chinese history.Lao Tzu: Rock on!!!Confucius: Excuse me?Lao Tzu: Rock on brotha!!!Confucius: Ok....I will now continue.Confucius: Excuse me Arbitrator, isn't your role to ask us the question to start the debate? Otherwise, I'll leave.Referee: Talking to me like that won't win you the debate, just let you know, buddy. Here is the question: what are the characteristics and values of an ideal society? Hopefully we'll get some intelligent answers from two very stupid people, well one because Lao was invented by random people. Lao Tzu: How could I wear makeup if I'm here for the debate? Judge What: Ok guys, let's get started. I have to go pick up my child from the vet... He just got vaccinated against rabies. Referee: In your opinion, what are the characteristics and values of an ideal society? Confucius: I believe in the five constant relationships. These are ruler and subject, husband and wife, parent and child, older brother to younger brother, and peer to peer. The most important is the middle of paper, which brought peace and eliminated violence from society. I have created a period of peace and tranquility until times change.Referee: So judge, who do you think won this interesting (sarcastically) debate?Judge: I believe Confucius won the debate. Lao Tzu: Are you kidding me? Go hang yourself. Judge: Bodyguards, arrest him... NOW!!!!! Outside narrator: Lao Tzu jumps on the water buffalo and escapes. He then wakes up hours later thinking he dreamed what happened. Later, he decides that it actually happened, even though he didn't win the debate. Judge: Thank you all for watching the debate, because I know he will be picking up my son from the vet... Outside Narrator: The judge walks out of the courtroom and sees his son next to his car. The veterinarian never gave him the vaccine, which angered the judge. The story will now continue through your own imagination.
