There\u2019s a school of thought which believes that there are fundamental differences between eastern and western philosophy arguing that while the east talks about and promotes a more holistic view of human life, the west is more focused on the individual person and their circumstances. However, research shows that this is not necessarily the case. Just as any child in the world knows when it is hungry and it would demand to be fed, there is an innate intuition which all people across the world seem to have that drives us to know the difference between good and bad, and to ultimately pursue goodness. Therefore, divisions between east and west appear to be artificial to say the least and these \u201cdifferences\u201d can be exemplified by the teachings of both eastern and western proverbs. Proverbs are probably the oldest and most accessible way of learning and understanding complex philosophical concepts. So what are some proverbs in English and Chinese proverbs that bear these similarities? Let\u2019s take a look below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Looking at both these Chinese and English proverbs, it\u2019s obvious how similar these common everyday sayings actually are. What does this mean for divisions between the eastern and western cultures? It means we\u2019re more similar than we may think!
