Explanation


The first thing to learn is filial piety and brotherly love then learn other things such as learn how to count and learn how to read. Numbers from one to ten, from ten to hundred, from hundred to thousand and from thousand to ten thousands.

There are three fundamental forces which are the Heaven, the Earth, and Human. There are also three bright things which are the Sun, the Moon, and Star. There are also three basic principles which are the relation/duty between sovereign and subjects such as the love between father and son and the harmony between husband and wife.

Speaking of four seasons, the Spring, the Summer, the Fall/Autumn, and the Winter, the four seasons alternate endlessly. Speaking of the North, the South, the East, the West, these four directions points/define the center.

Yours Truly am still bitter about the stolen laptop . However he will stop whining about it and move on. There is no need to bore all of ya and thanks for all the wishes. (He will update on the matter as soon as there is a conclusion regardless good news or bad news) This post will revolve around the moral issue for obvious reasons.
