The good and the ugly

We can never imagine the limits of human evil, but let us not underestimate the great power of human good. We have reason to believe that good will prevail over evil! We will still stick to the bottom line of good!

Lu Xun once said, I have never been afraid to think of the Chinese with the worst malice. I think we should change Chinese to human. Lu Xun said this probably because the special social environment at that time made the Chinese people's humanity exposed more obviously. Today, China's development is directly in line with the international community. If you come into contact with many different cultures, you will find that people all over the world share the same virtues. A good man knows no breed, and a bad man no nationality. If good people and bad people must be divided by number, I think it should be half and half at the beginning, referring to Lao Tzu's philosophy of "there is no coexistence". Later, through the baptism of civilized society, many of the people with bad nature were educated and turned into good people, so kindness became the mainstream value. Of course, this is all of your nonsense. Your ideas are here for discussion.

So are good and bad people born? The answer can be traced back to the sayings of ancient Chinese sages. After all, throughout the thousand years of history, the wisdom of the old masters is still unsurpassed. Thousands of years ago, Mencius and Xunzi argued that human nature was good and evil. Mencius advocated the theory of good nature. He believed that people are inherently good, and bad people are caused by the acquired environment. Xunzi advocated the theory of evil nature. He believed that human nature was inherently evil, and only strict laws could guide people to be good. But I think human nature is divided between good and evil. If human nature is good, what about children who are exposed to cruelty from an early age, excluding environmental factors? What explains the incessant school violence? The novel "Lord of the Flies" is through a group of trapped lonely island children killed each other's story, the human evil performance incisively and vividly, let people read shocking. If we blindly advocate the theory of sexual evil on this basis, we will inevitably be suspected of making false judgments. I remember that there was a hot video on the Internet. In the video, a two-year-old child was doing a wired problem about the food chain. The child said nothing to link the Wolf and sheep together. Mother asked him the reason, the child cried and said, the sheep hurt ah...... Is really funny, and moved, we can not help but be deeply moved by the child's kind nature. The children's clear eyes, kind childlike innocence is the "nature is good" the best interpretation. Remember when I was a child at home to kill chickens and dogs, while the chicken and dog screams, while I cry to death. Even though my parents scolded me for countless times, even though my mother's education philosophy of "If you don't kill the heart of an ox, it is difficult to wear leather soles" was incanted in my ears to grow up, I still remained inflexible. In my mom's words, this kid's gonna be bullied to death. I am lucky not only to be alive, but also to live fairly well. Can't help feeling grateful through tears, this world is still a lot of good people ah! The tables have turned, and now it's my turn to talk about my mom.

Human nature is accompanied by good and evil, but good and evil can never coexist in harmony, they will always be in contradiction struggle zigzagging forward. In the battle between good and evil for thousands of years, our great and wise forefathers found out the universal values adapted to the survival of human society. Only after the victory of the good and just party can society progress, the wheel of history can move forward, and human society can continue to multiply... Therefore, goodness has become the choice of the vast majority of people, and goodness will eventually overcome evil to become the absolute truth that people pursue. As a result, good people deserve good deeds, which has become a universal moral principle in our society.

But do good people really pay off? In the materialist philosophy of the society, the theory that good people deserve good reward, really can stand? If so, how to explain the fact that a female nurse from Heilongjiang Province who helped pregnant women upstairs was brutally killed by a frantic couple? Then how to explain the case of Li Yangjie, an overseas student who was lured, kidnapped and tortured to death while helping people carry boxes? So the Hangzhou arson case shocked the whole country, -----, a kind hostess family of four people died unexpectedly how to explain? So kind and righteous Japanese study abroad girl river song unprovoked death how to explain...... Yes, the murderer was brought to justice. But these good lives will never come back. Too much good to live up to, too much evil in the person after the snicker of evil charm. Don't forget, one more sentence:

Good people do not long life, scourge left millennium! The so-called good people are just a good wish and expectation of good people, but is a weak self-comfort of good people.

So can we override good beliefs and practice evil instead? Rather than the theory of cause and effect that good and evil are rewarded, I would like to believe that kindness is a nature and principle that most people cannot violate. We choose kindness not for the purpose and result of some kind of good reward, but for the demonstration of justice and inner peace! Some were persecuted for their good intentions, but many more stood up to denounce evil. We see the persecution of good people, but we also see overwhelming public opinion one-sided justice, judgment of crime. In the end, the evil will stand on the pillar of history to be reviled for all eternity, and the good will be celebrated for a thousand years. This is not a reward for kindness, it is not to give us the courage to continue to be kind. Give a little warm comfort to a good heart that's been hurt. We can never imagine the limits of human evil, but let us not underestimate the great power of human good. We have reason to believe that good will prevail over evil! We will still stick to the bottom line of good!
