Book 1-3 of the Analects

The first three books of the analects sort of remind me of of something which I havent figured out yet. What I could identify is that they are very similar to the bibles passages or commandments in many ways. like for example to learn or to have knowledge, it is exactly what it says, it talks about wisdom over all and it says that without wisdom there is nothing. The being a good person appears everywhere in the new testament, in Jesus's teachings in which he tells us to love and respect.The seccond book also is very similar to Jesus even thought he never talks about politics I feel like if it were he talking. It talks about being simple in ritual which is basically like being simple and Jesus says if youre rich give away to the poor dont spend it all, be normal, help. Ritual isvery important in the analetas and that's why they gave it in the first book, unfortunately there was no kind of ritual to follow Jesus or God but his teachings. There is something very true in the third book which says that if you're doing ritual do it well, with feeling, happy if you dont it doesnt count, let the ritual flow and be interested if not it's not valid. It is exactly what happens in life, if you're doing something without effort you might as well stop because you're wasting your time and it will come out wrong just like your feelings.
