“Question religion, question it all“ – JAY Z
Become a heretic. Just like Jay Z.
Also, perhaps this is how the ethos of mainland Chinese so interesting to me; their culture is carte blanche, and they do not follow typical societal rules or traditions. This is why everyone seems to despise them; they don’t follow normal orders of “properness“.
Cheating, lying, copying. These are all considered sins or vices in American culture. Yet, the Chinese will do anything to win; quite smart.
No more religion, or Confucianism holding the Chinese back.
Also unlike Americans, the Chinese do not complain. They just do.
Also, luxury is not considered a vice. Note in America, the west, and in the UK, they don’t call it luxury, they call it “fancyâ€. Even the word “luxury†is seen with distaste.
Yet, the Chinese indulge in luxury without any remorse; also what is interesting is that it is generally accepted that one only buys luxury goods if you can afford it. Compare this to the fake rich people of America, who overstretch their budget to buy luxury goods.
Maybe perhaps in the long run, China will indeed become the dominant power force on the planet.
