Analects 7:2

Analects 7:2
The master said: “keeping silent and thinking; studying without satiety, teaching others without weariness: these things come natural to me.”

I will interpret each phrase in the given Analects with my limited knowledge. First is, “Keeping silent and thinking”, keeping silent and thinking means not so much into talking nonsense things rather being silent and at peace, thinking means reflecting on a certain thing. “Studying without satiety” I will use a scholar and a student as an example for interpreting the phrase. A student gets easily full when studying or should I say, a student tends to rest when studying even just for a minute and a student gets easily satisfied with what he/she studied, while a scholar keeps on reading books and studies what he/she had read and does not stop or easily become tired of studying and reading, a scholar continue to study even more. “Teaching others without weariness” I will give the doctors who help at the barrios and mountains, doctors who volunteer and help people that are from the barrios even they are not paid, they continue to help others without complaining about the condition of the place or how far the place is, because they always instill in their hearts and minds that they help for the good of many. All of these qualities are natural to the master.
