The Reflections from Jesus in Document 4.4 was interesting. Like Buddha, Sadhartha, and Confucius, Jesus never wrote any of his own material. He preached, healed and educated all for a greater cause as did Confucius and Sadartha. These great wise men were so meaningful and impactful that their followers felt that the words they uttered and the acts they committed needed to passed on from generation to generation. A question one can raise about these later written texts about these great men is how true and accurate are they? They are obviously written by those who these people deeply impacted so who is to say that these people were not seeing the positive and embellishing them just a little bit? A word change here and a message altered there and you have a hero to all. With a bias opinion and view of these influential people it is sometimes hard to know what to think. If there was anything at all written by these men themselves then maybe their words could be pinpointed to their message and their actions. Rather it is a later retelling of these words and message that we the world have to go to today. 

     Jesus was very similar to Confucius. Jesus talked to women and the poor. Confucius may or may not have interacted with women or the poor though his overall messages were definitely directed to all. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."Jesus loved all and looked to share his message with anyone looking for salvation and a path to God. Sadhartha did the same as he went about his way and stayed with the others seeking enlightenment. 

     Jesus seemed to already have enlightenment as did Confucius. Sadhartha was in search of it and did find it. Was any mans level greater or deeper? Is there one level of enlightenment? I feel that the enlightenment of Jesus was easier to obtain. Those who believed in God and his son achieved this. They also got to live with it. Unlike Hinduism where you must live and die over and over in order to hopefully one day achieve this enlightenment. The depth in which people can believe these written historical words is the toughest part of learning about these historical figures.
