RE: Confused Philosophy: My take on the world of philosophy - An Intro - Confucius said what?
Yes, you have to wonder how things passed along by oral tradition evolve :) I always find it very interesting reading translations of poetry as well, because each translator frames it slightly differently... So your favorite quote from someone may not be what they intended to say at all!
So true. Even if it was written word for word. There would still be our personal influences that would affect how we perceived it.
