i’ve been debased perverted humiliated splayed bare

@CuteCatcel mhm yeah no i agree again it’s more a question directed at “new confucianism”

[🐾 @etrngctrl]

@CuteCatcel it’s more a problem of since these rituals have been lost to time, how are modern day followers supposed to perform them and of their own will at that.

[🐾 @etrngctrl]

@CuteCatcel oh it’s more of a conceptional inquiry. from what ive read this question actually comes up a lot in debates amongst confucian scholars of today. since performing certain rituals is such a fundamental principal in order to reach “virtue” as by confucius-

@catholicfeetfuc i was notified of this post

[🐾 @etrngctrl]

they’ve placed such an emphasis on these rites and odes which are evidently not as prevalent as they once were. how do you “get back in”? if it’s such a fundamental aspect needed to orient yourself, are their contemporaries counterparts doomed to not reach that state

[🐾 @etrngctrl]

my question about this is, within the context of confucianism, how is one supposed to achieve this virtue (self-righteousness, etc etc) when the rituals that guide one to such a state have been lost to time ? you’re operating outside the bounds so how do you get back in
