In our society, it is important of how one acts and how their message is delivered. Our society believes that our actions speak louder than our words. Citizens are encouraged to not base their actions on the benefits that they might receive. We aim for our citizens to perform acts in enjoyment rather than in detest for the sole purpose of benefit. We encourage true acts of kindness based on real intentions and not for personal profit. In this sense, we promote the ideas of Confucius and how one should do good deeds not for the outcome but for the concept of true benevolence.

The Master said, “Nowadays ‘filial’ means simply being able to provide one’s parents with nourishment. But even dogs and horses are provided with nourishment. If you are not respectful, wherein lies the difference?” (The Analects, 2.7)

The Master said, “If in your affairs you abandon yourself to the pursuit of profit, you will arouse much resentment.” (The Analects, 4.12)

We encourage those in our society to be humble with what they have. We wish for them to appreciate what they possess, and not ashamed of where they come from. They are to be modest and not be greedy with their possessions. Those in our society are not to feel ashamed for what they have, but to fully embrace it and accept their fortunes.

The Master said, “He who aims to be a man of complete virtue in his food does not seek to gratify his appetite, nor in his dwelling place does he seek the appliances of ease; he is earnest in what he is doing, and careful in his speech; he frequents the company of men of principle that he may be rectified:-such a person may be said indeed to love to learn.” (The Analects,  1.14)

The Master said, “A scholar-official who has set his heart upon the Way by who is still ashamed of having shabby clothing or meager rations is not worth engaging in discussion.” (The Analects, 4.9)

The Master said, “What a worthy man was Yan Hui! Living in a narrow alley, subsisting on a basket of grain and gourd full of water – other people could not have born such hardship, yet it never spoiled Hui’s joy. What a worthy man was Hui!” (The Analects, 6.11)

Our society thrives with those who are not affected by the profitable gain from their actions. They are to be inclined to perform actions out of the goodness of their hearts. Simultaneously, they stay humble with what they have and never ask for more. They are proud of where and what they come from and embrace this fact. Therefore making the citizens of King’s Landing, ones who are humble and selfless in their pursuit of happiness.
