The source of Eastern and Western cultures, not all that flows out is "water"

Western culture is relatively simple, and monotheism can explain some problems. Most people believe in Christ Jesus. In fact, Western culture emphasizes the material civilization realized by the individual. Looking at their seafaring expeditions and the creation of the United States by British pirates, it is entirely possible to see the beginnings. Their belief and admiration are not contradictory, because the two are interconnected and tacitly understood at a deep level, one is false and the other is real.

The "love" of Christendom, this "love" is not expressed in "man to man", but "God"'s one-way compassion for man; it is God's "holy love". Believers believe in the benefit of others, but do not lose money. Loving wealth and believing in God, the two are not contradictory, complement each other, and have a high degree of unity.

Looking at the "four cardinal virtues" in plato's Republic of Greece, (1) wisdom (2) bravery, (3) wisdom and (4) justice. There is no "benevolence" in the four points that corresponds to the Chinese "benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom". This is critical. "Benevolence" is compassion, and "compassion" is the minimum social component of others outside of me. The idea of "wisdom, bravery, wisdom, and justice" without this "compassion" fundamentally divides the origins of Eastern and Western cultures.

In the Axial Age, socrates, Plato, aristotle in Greece, and our Confucius and Lao Zhuang, from their different understandings of human society, led to two paths for everyone' direction, resulting in today's two worlds, East and West.

The difference between the East and the West is, first of all, the result of culture. From the above comparison, we can see that the West emphasizes the individual and the material; the East emphasizes more on caring for others and the common. One more egotistical, one more social.

A person does not form a society. "Ren" is at least a matter of two people. The essence of society is "mutual", and what is now called "community" reveals and embodies the essential characteristics of "society".

The comparison between east and west is not a contest between who is long and who is short, and which is right and wrong. Be aware of the differences, raise awareness, and strive for integration. After all, the world is heading for convergence sooner or later.
