Chapter 90 Force good people to the front line (2)

As soon as the news came out, Fang Hao hurried to find me and said: "It's terrible, they want to find me and arrest me, saying that I wrote the secrets of the church." Just drive it out, it’s nothing big.” He said, “No, I have to wear the skin of a priest, otherwise my life will be ruined, you must save me. They will ask you, you have to cover me, say yes You wrote it, not me.” I said, “Okay.” Sure enough, on the third day, the church sent a priest to see me and said, “Mr. Li, you are now the editor-in-chief of Wenxing magazine. The article was published in the "Wenxing" magazine. We know that this is what Fang Hao did. Please Li Ao provide the original manuscript to prove that it was written by Father Fang Hao, otherwise, we will sue you." I said: "I'm sorry, I wrote this article and it has nothing to do with Father Fang Hao." The other party said: "It cannot be written by you. Although your article is well written, it involves a lot of inside stories about Catholicism, a lot of dirty and shameful things. , dark, shady inside story, only Fang Hao knows these inside stories, this is written by Fang Hao. Please help us, Mr. Li, otherwise, we will sue you." I said: "What?! Sue me? I like to sue people all my life. If you want to sue me, I will publish a list before you sue me." He said, "What list?" I said, "I published a list of homosexual priests in Taiwan. How many are there in Taiwan? The priest is engaging in homosexuality, and he will name and criticize you and announce them all. Do you dare to quarrel with me?" He was frightened to death, and ran back to report to Cardinal Tian Gengxin, saying that Li Ao could not afford to provoke him.At this time, they called Father Fang Hao again and asked him to kneel down and swear to Maria.The article was not written by him.Father Fang Hao said that he definitely did not write the article, and swore that he did not write it either.

Finally, the turmoil finally passed, and Father Fang Hao (my teacher) came to visit me secretly.He said: "Li Ao, you scared me to death, and I was almost expelled from the Catholic Church. You forced me to be a good person once, and I did be a good person once. You forced me to do a good thing. I did write this article, do I did a good deed, but from now on I will never be a good person again, and I will never do a good deed again." I tell this story to tell everyone that many good people and good deeds, we have to force him to do it——we force him to do it.You see, one of the most interesting things in Franklin's autobiography is about these Puritans.He and the Puritans set out from Europe to America, looking for a new world, a new life, and a new place of safety.At that time, it was necessary to travel from Europe to America by boat.At that time there were no ships, only sailing ships, and that ship moved very slowly.Once, I saw a pirate ship in front of me, and the pirates wanted to rob them of this ship.At this time, the Puritans were so frightened that they ran to the bottom of the cabin.After they went down, they left their masters on it, or those who did not believe in their Puritan religion, and said: "We Puritans are pacifists. We don't fight, we don't fight." .We are against war. We don’t use weapons. But you don’t believe in our religion. You want to go to war for us, to fight, to protect us. So, don’t hide below, we hide, you From above, we must fight pirates with war methods to protect us."

Franklin's autobiography talks about this story, what does it tell?Tell us these Puritans, these good people, they're hypocrites, they're not the ones who really dare to face these issues.However, we must say that when a hypocrite faces these problems, when he has the opportunity to do good deeds, if he is asked to do good deeds, he can still do good deeds to a certain extent.Therefore, I think not all hypocrites are bad, and sometimes hypocrites are generally good people as we know them.When they are forced out, people like Father Fang Hao will show up and do a good deed.Therefore, it is wrong to say, "Good people come half from suffering", in my opinion, Li Ao, it is wrong. Good people come half from hiding.They're hiding there, but when you push him out, he's good too.

When the State of Qin was about to attack the State of Zhao, there was a great man named Lu Zhonglian. With his three-inch tongue, he told the Qin State's army to retreat and saved the State of Zhao.Later, the state leader of Zhao State wanted to give him a gift, but he didn't want it, so he left quietly.Then, the king of Wei State asked Zishun: "The world is so high, who is the tallest person, the best person?" , or it can be the second (if you choose the next best), he is almost Lu Zhonglian (that is, Lu Zhonglian).This sentence is quoted from the biography of Sima Guang. "The king said: Lu Zhonglian is not a natural person who does things by force." (He put on airs and did it hard, and the good things he did were not a naturally formed saint or a naturally good person.) Zi Shun said , "everyone does it" (everyone does it), "does not stop" (doing good deeds endlessly), "is a gentleman" (he becomes a good person), "doing the same, learning and body "(His habits and his shape have become the same, so it is natural, and the expression is very natural).That is to say, this person does not want to do good deeds, but if you force him to do good deeds, he will make gestures, put on airs, make falsehoods come true, and in the end behave like a good person and a good deed.He does one thing and does one thing and does another thing, no time to do bad things, no time to stop, no time to take his mask off, no time to run away, all the way down, his shape is the same as his Behavior has become the same thing, and if the falsehood becomes true, then naturally, this is a good person.So, that’s how a good person comes, and it’s to force him to do good deeds.You are timid and force you to do good deeds, and you are required to take risks, time and time again, time and time again, making falsehoods come true, and finally this face can't be changed, and you will become a good person.

So, let me tell you that half of a good person does not come from suffering, and half of a good person is because you force him to do good deeds.For forcing Father Fang Hao like me, skillfully finding his weaknesses, and forcing him to do good things, and he really did good things, we should praise him.He is hypocritical, he is timid, but when we told him not to be hypocritical and pushed him to the limit, he had no choice but to put on that face, just put it on.Therefore, I think it is very important to force good people to do good things. Like me, it's very difficult. For a good person, we have to force him, beat him, and intimidate him, so that he will do good things for us.It seems very reluctant, but after a long time of reluctance, after the falsehood I said just now became true, he became a real person, a truly good person.Please remember: the good man half hides himself.The way to keep a good person from hiding is to catch him and push him to the front line. This is the encouragement we should have for a good person.
