Proper order is fragile because of the inevitability of problems or fate like economic downturns, disasters. These things, we cannot completely eliminate, but we can plan for them and reduce the impacts. Nonetheless, they will come in like a shock and undermine proper order, which make it difficult for material and moral life to flourish, shake hierarchy and challenge leadership. Another important factor why proper order is fragile is because of conflict. And if conflict becomes extreme like extreme resource scarcity, not “normal” scarcity, where people fight each other over food or land and extreme class complexities will undermine the proper order by eating away its roots. Another huge factor is corruption especially political, economic, and cultural corruption. Interestingly enough, political corruption can result from flourishing itself. For example, if the economy is doing well and more resources are available, then there will be more money around. Subsequently, this money means more opportunity to buy power and to corrupt political officials. As a result, political corruption is then by buying power, not getting power in response to real needs and real interests, not having power working in positive ways, but imperially selfish ways. In fact, it is totally opposite of virtuous leadership. Another is the economic corruption is certainly a possibility from East Asian point of view. For instance, abusing wealth like being selfish and hurting other people are a huge problem. In other word, abusing wealth in socially irresponsible ends like taking money to corrupt other people and use wealth in destructive ways by harming others. Finally, culture corruption is another possibility. Excess and betrayal, people can use resources ironically to be excessive like economic corruption. For example, people in the time of Confucius who had money, status, and power, would use it as extremely elaborate funerals. However, Confucius’ point about that it is excessive because it goes beyond what is necessary to show the point of funerals. Betrayal is another form of cultural corruption. In other words, you benefit from a culture, but you undermine it for whatever reason. Even though your resources, your life, and your family depend on particular culture, you don’t work for it or see the good parts of it, but rather undermine it. A paradox of rationality is another important to know about the fragility of proper order because the pursuit of pure rational self-interest can make worse off. One way is opportunism, which means taking advantage of opportunities or to do things like cheat on your bosses, taxes, government, culture, or family. Or divert resources we inflict a greater cost on everybody even though we seem to benefit over the short terms. When you divert resources through opportunism, you gain short term advantage. Other illustrations that demonstrate this are: breach of contract, when you have an opportunity, you lose reputation, efficiency, and undermine property rights of whole economy. In fact, efficiency loss can be understood as misrepresentation. For example, you misrepresent who you actually are may again be rational that will give you in short term, but not long term. Rationality normally is actually good for us and at least it is neutral. “The Confucian traditi
