Yes some of confucius's idea about people and society are relevant today because he had some great ideas and ways of thinking however some things are no longer acceptable in today's society. like mourning for 3 years over the loss of a parent. Lao-tzu's philosophy is somewhat compatible with the modern world because meditation is still a good for people but other things like gaining wisdom through understanding the universe isn't practical anymore because we know so much more about the universe than we did back in Lao-tzu's time.
I used to visit a park quite close to our home when I was younger it had lots of plants and birds were always chirping .it was usually crowded and trees surrounded the area and the park instruments such as swings and slides were in perfect condition
I visited that place again after 5years and it’s change broke my heart .the plants and trees were either dead or dying no one maintained them ,no one was. Around ,the area was littered with plastics and thermocouple and the trees had all been cut down soo the area was very hot , the swings and slides were dirty and rusted
2 lanterns
"one if by land and two if by sea" (if the British came by land or sea)(was a way to warn people)
this is from the story of Paul Revere...
