Confronting negative feelings shows weakness.

False

Self-awareness is the conscious knowledge of oneself through introspection. This allows us to understand our feelings, motivations, desires, values, etc. Some of these feelings might be negative, however, we should still try to confront them. Confronting our feelings can help us understand why we do the things we do. It can also help us get rid of emotional baggage which might be limiting our potential. It is a difficult process and its achievement demonstrates strength, not weakness.

china has confucianism thats everywhere in asia but it isn't really a religion.  

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
