The world to the United States of emotion: I was kind

Kindness, this is a very simple word, easy to understand. I wanted to put it on the moral level of the topic, afraid people will make a mountain out of molehill.

The ancients admired the gentleman because the gentleman was morally noble. The gentleman has eight virtues: filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame. In real life, when communicating with colleagues and friends, I occasionally open my heart and say "I am very straightforward", but seldom hear "I am very kind". Careful examination, the gentleman eight virtues although there is no good word, but every word contains goodwill; Colleagues and friends around, real forthright, have a suppression of evil Yang good heart. I think human nature is good, and I want to start the topic of kindness, because as I get older and feel more deeply, I would like to share it with my colleagues and friends, just like Posting photos of my trip on wechat moments. Chinese traditional culture attaches great importance to inheriting kindness. The three Character Classic, an enlightenment textbook for thousands of years, puts goodness in the first place. In the book of Changes, it is said that "good is not enough to be famous, and evil is not enough to be destroyed". Mencius said, 'The goodness of human nature is like that of water.' Both Confucius and Mencius took "benevolence" and "kindness to others" as the core of their doctrines. We believe that we have no objection to the many classical statements of the good, but these classical statements become lonely cries and groans in reality and increasingly dim in cultural discourse. First look at the film and television works, this is the hotbed of the human soul, but the soul should not talk about the return, to avoid the direction of human value. Some ancient classical works, after being adapted, are full of excessive cunning, power and cruelty from beginning to end, a sword and sword, fighting for power and benefit, between the emperor and minister, father and son, friends, mutual suspicion, ingenuity, and finally the family torn, full of blood. Then look at the bookstore shelves, book is the ladder of human progress, rows into a pile of books the kind which pushed into corner, greeted the different versions of "larded", "yu", TCM, TCM, and confused and counsel "low-key life and human art", "seven points to three points to do things", and so on, do not regard human fundamental, mission benefit hand bowl. Occasionally see and goodness is related to the treatise is cited "good people by people, horse good people ride" point of view. In such a culture, the "refined egoist" is born. Some college students do extremely well in school, show great respect for their teachers, never be absent or late, and pay close attention to their lectures. Let the teacher moved, with the joint discussion, writing graduation thesis, to help its find a suitable job, when the students graduate to find a suitable position after no longer contact. The term "refined egoists" comes from a statement by a professor at a famous university in China: "Some of our universities are cultivating 'refined egoists' who are intelligent, worldly and sophisticated. They are good at performing, know how to cooperate and are better at exploiting the system to achieve their goals. Such people, once in power, do more harm than corrupt officials." There are, of course, literary classics in the cultural camp that extol the best of mankind. Such as Jin Yong's works, Jin Yong's Duan Yu, Guo Jing, honest and kind, even a little stupid, not high talent, good luck, serious, persistent, finally become a great hero. Yang Kang and Ouyang Ke, who were clever, sly and slippery, came to no good end. The simple and kind people in Jin Yong's works all have a happy ending. They can inherit ju Xue and become a great master and model of The Times. Guo Jing, Huang Rong, People's Daily once commented: "Jin Yong wrote the martial arts as a new classic, full of ideas, popular rather than vulgar, extraction of tradition into the modern spirit". Jin Yong's works occupy a place on the shelves of folk, scholars and literati. However, such works in the book are almost rare, just like Jin Yong's heroes, although exist in all sentient beings, but it is difficult to see their figure. Learning to survive is a required course in life. People all hope to be strong, but if they lose their nature, they will excessively worship strength, courage, iron bowl and means, and regard warmth, honesty and tenderness as the object of ridicule, regard kindness as a useless alias, and compassion as the groans of the weak. This idea is more prevalent at the bottom of society. Opinionated strong, and others have interests interwoven, show their own strong, insolent do not speak quantity, occupy more to, occupy strong to, get the momentum of the moment, to achieve the purpose. Perhaps those villains, hecklers and shrews stand out in this crowd. Their philosophy of survival has been imperceptible to the next generation, may be better than blue, which will be terrible and sad. It is common to see such a remark: how terrible it is to have no education without reading. But I think, not good is the most terrible, people can not read, can not have culture, but can not be good, not reading, no culture and not good, that is really the most terrible. Strong and weak is not only look at the appearance, any thing is so, to the essence of the look, comprehensive look, three-dimensional look, long-term look, secular, good at both ways, may become the strong, will get a lot of halo, and duty, soft, kind may become weak, will suffer, will be bullied, But in the end, it's the latter who enjoy fame, grace and longevity, and the good ones are the ones who have the last laugh. "Lean on the Sky and slay the Dragon" in the Jiuyang classics have a mouth, is worth savoring: "he is strong by his strong, the wind blowing hills; The moon shines across the river."
