Confucius (551-479 BC) was a younger contemporary of Lao Tzu. Who was also born during Chou dynasty. He urgent a system of moral ethics and statecraft aimed at preserving peace and affording people the relative serenity and stability of a just government they required.
Central of his concepts was the existence of Jen, for which English has not evolved a comparable term. Jen refers to the concepts that humans are essentially born as mutually independent creatures all of which are innately and collectively linked by Jen a sympathy coupled with human hearthedness.
Jen seems to consist of an inter-shared connectivity among all, or collective unconscious or archaic telepathy upon which sympathy and empathy would be based.
Jenny could be cooperatively advanced by cultivating intelligence, awareness, insightful alertness, also by reinforcing virtues such as self control, kindness, absence of offensiveness, neighbourliness, fidelity, kindness and patience.
Confucius insisted that Jen thrived and grew in energy via cooperative enhancement of human virtues and was weakened and disoriented by discord and treat of fear that cannot be resolved.
