Analects 12:17



Analects 12:17

Ji Kang Zi asked Confucius about government. Confucius replied saying: “To ‘govern’ means to ‘rectify’. If you were to lead the people with correctness, who would not be rectified?”

I will interpret the analects by giving example to make the analects clear. “To govern means to rectify” this phrase is really true. We have a certain government or institution that should correct people who have done wrong and government is created to govern and see people whether the people in its domain are doing the right things or not. “If you were to lead the people with correctness, who would not be rectified?” I will give a good leader as an example, if the good leader is doing well and showed people the right thing, people that you showed rightness will always do what is good because they saw that their leader does good things.
