 Unwarranted inflation
Author: coyote 
Date:   02-03-12 03:43

In a way these worshippers (of the east) are as ignorant as the bashers (of the same East). While it is pleasing to the ear (of the Chinese) it is misleading, much like accolade that isn't fact based and achieves little more than a swell head for the same Chinese. Porn of the mind. Suckle on it to feel good, but it leads ultimately to deflation. "Wen Ming" is not civilization. Isn't civilization Wen Hua? Wen Ming is an enlightened way of conducting oneself, and can be extended to society as a whole. In English it is "civilized behavior". The differences between Chinese and the west that the author cited seem contrived. Minor really, compared to our overwhelming similarities as descendants from the same human tree.
