Eastern Literature

As we have passed through the Eastern Literature section, I have noticed several things. One is the similarities between Eastern and Western culture. Now, of course, there are substancial differences, but I was surprised at the amount of similarities. We as Westerners seemed to have created our own adaptation of the India caste system. How often do you walk through the hallways, pass by someone and think "I am so better than that person." We have created labels for people which is very much the same as the system in India. Another thing is the concept "Do we know what is really good?" This is a Daoist theme but is also similar to our thinking these days. Is there really a defined right or wrong? As Christians we should know that their is but coming from a very secular world, sometimes we ask ourselves that same question.
