I was chatting with a lady one day and she said, "Life is learning." How true that is! I was reminded of this line from Chu Hsi, "Everything is a matter of learning."
The wise, older lady I spoke with echoed a Confucian sentiment because true wisdom is universal.
The Chu Hsi quote is 7.27, p. 186, from "Learning to by a Sage, Selections from the Conversations of Master Chu, Arranged Topically," translated by Daniel K. Gardner, ISBN 0-520-06525-5.
That title is quite a mouth full, isn't it! But this book is a treasure of good thoughts.
