is this quote of Confucius true?

[shastarSingh]

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.

india as a country is an unjust and corrupt society but Sikhs especially in cities r very wealthy.

So I am kind of confused about this quote of Confucius.

to be wealthy in that situation normally means you have taken advantadge of that unjust situation just look at Ambani Adani etc  also hoarded it ignoring the suffering of others . If you are honoured by unjust people that would be because you are cut of the same cloth. However, Sikhs who are truly on the path are not usually the extreme wealth bracket they are comfortable and they would never tolerate injustice even if it cost them everything . The urban wealthy sorts usually have koti niaat and are misane  they usually do not hold sikhi uppermost , they will be handing out siropas to our dokhis and doing selfies with them .

Well yeah, I mean the poor disgrace the wealthy for not doing anything to get em outta poverty. So yes main reason they get disgraced.

East Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea have benefitted a lot from Confucius. The people think of the wider society and what impact their actions will have on it. Contrast that with India where most people are purely out for themselves send their family.

There is also the issue of many wealthy people exploiting vulnerable groups for their wealth.
