Source: Excerpted from The Analects of Confucius: Lord Ye asked Confucius about Luz, but Luz was wrong. Confucius said, "A woman is a human being if she doesn't say anything. She was angry and forgot to eat, and she was happy and forgot her troubles. I don't know that old age is coming. "
In this chapter, Confucius described his mentality, "Anger makes you forget to eat, pleasure makes you forget to worry", even when you are old. Confucius experienced endless fun from reading, studying and various activities. He is a typical realist and optimist. He doesn't worry about the little things around him and shows a positive mental outlook.
