Book I. 2 Yu Tzu said, “It is rare for a man whose character is such that he is good as a son and obedient as a young man to have the inclination to transgress against his superiors; it is unheard of for one who has no such inclination to be inclined to start a rebellion. The gentleman devotes his efforts to the roots, for once the roots are established, the Way will grow therefrom. Being good as a son and obedient as a young man is, perhaps, the root of a man’s character.
Although I don't know much about government, I think a lot of congressmen are guilty of not being as, "good as a son and obedient as young man". I think a lot of men would take the time to cooperate with president Obama instead of criticize him if they followed this "rule". Being good and obedient would mean, at least to me, that someone is working for a greater good. That, to me, means cooperating instead of being stubborn and obstinate against anything. As far as I have seen, republicans say that President Obama is too liberal. Democrats say that President Obama is not liberal enough. To me, being good and obedient means being willing to compromise.
