Is Mencius worth reading?

Yeah, and Zhuangzi wrote lolsorandom shitty parables. They are often without meaning, sometimes inherently misleading, sometime self-contradictory, sometimes really deep and true though. But there is a point, their teachings are not meant as guidelines, but rather as tools to wrestle your mind out of bounds and into freedom.

Confucius, Mencius and Nichiren are the best far east philosophers and worth a read.
