When Confucius traveled around the world, he often saw such a phenomenon: many people gathered together to chat for a day. None of what they said was serious. They played tricks and said something uninteresting and amusing. Confucius was filled with emotion when he saw these people spending their time like this. He believes that the root of this phenomenon is social living. As a result, he fought hard against many people living together. Once Confucius said to his students, "many people get together and chat all day long. It's very harmful for them to become talents."
