How would you write a letter to one of its pupils? You'd have to descibe your chosen philosophers viewpoints concerning one of his or hers philosophies. Site sources too if you guys can.
I appreciate all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance everyone!!

That's a big order to fill. I am stuck between two possibilities, one is Mahatma Gandhi and the other is Siddhartha (the first 'Buddha'). Both philosophers are non-violent and prescribe that kind of life. I guess I could either actually be one of them and therefore say what they have said or be myself and perhaps say something different.

"Relation to Confucism and Buddhism: Confucius was often the butt of Taoist jokes, being so tied up in vast and complicated systems of ideology and laws – all swirling around Confucius in a confusing frenzy – both for himself and those around him!

Taoist folklore also tells of a humorist historical connection to Buddhism: when Lao Tzu left his village to head west (a symbolism of death), he traveled as far as India, where he found Prince Siddhartha, confused about the workings of the world. On meeting Lao Tzu, Siddhartha tried to understand his philosophy, but as the story goes, he could not get it quite right! Hence, the emergence of Buddhism. The two have a little similarity – Taoism explains that desire is an ideal which can distract from an acceptance of the material world, while Buddhism agrees, but places complete emphasis on getting rid of desire and even a strict system of moral guidelines on how to do it. Even further apart with Mahayana, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, where the individual ego is considered to be non-existent, and the physical world an illusion. Both of these aspects are diametrically opposed to Taoism, which considers the individual ego a material part of the whole (tao), and the physical world as the basis of all practice."

The Judgment is negative, the Will is positive.

The shallow brittle does provide with most efforted water to the letbe giver who will mourn the newcome of eve and grasp further and early, so we must and will do as possible, giving and polishing less and less, for morrow does collide and give not more than words but less than action itself, duty is version of avoidance and the good buterfly does evolve into mind grasped and virtuosity alone, to become one in commune and praise further, this is good to nature for all.

I'd be Rahamatha. The Indian God Philosopher. I would say that:
