Chapter 4 Three Discussions on Life

Three Discussions on Life ………… Good fortune children seem to treat animals and humans differently.It gives you the instinct to survive, and at the same time curbs this instinct. There are many methods or techniques.Creating an opposite seems to be one of the techniques, such as creating a mouse and its natural enemy, a cat. For humans, it seems a bit preferential.It first endows human beings with thought (whether animals have thought and language is a matter of debate), and then endows human beings with conscience and good energy.Regarding human nature, I have already spoken above.I don't really believe in conscience or "compassion, everyone has it", but I can't refute it.The ancients said: "The reason why human beings are different from animals is how much."Even if it is very rare, there is always.I personally think wildly, and I think there is a little bit of "jixi" in the attitude towards the instinct of survival, food and clothing, and development of living things.

We observe tigers, lions and other ferocious animals, and when we are hungry, we eat other animals, including humans.They have absolutely no compassion, absolutely no conscience.When eating, they will never be like when people cannibalize people, and sometimes they will fabricate some truths that I must eat you, and do a good job of "ideological work".They just eat until they are full.Humans are different.Of course, people are not exactly the same.Some people are indeed able to curb their survival instincts, showing a certain conscience and a certain degree of compassion.Many people with lofty ideals throughout the ages are good examples in this regard.Why can they die for the country?Why would you sacrifice your own life to save others?The "backbone of China" that Mr. Lu Xun called is such a person.What Mencius called "awe-inspiring spirit" can only be possessed by such a person.There will never be any "backbone" or "magnificence" among animals, which is called "Jixi".

But people can't generalize, some people can do it, and some people can't.Like Cao Cao said: "It is better for me to bear the world than for the world to bear me!" How could he do this? Speaking of this, it involves ethical and moral issues.I haven't studied ethics, so I don't know how to define morality.In my opinion, those who can curb their own nature for the sake of the country, the people, and others are moral people.If he can think about others 60% and himself 40%, he is a qualified good person.The higher the percentage of consideration for others, the better and the higher the moral level.One hundred percent, the so-called "not self-interested, dedicated to benefiting others" people are unique.Conversely, the higher the percentage of thinking about oneself and not thinking about others, the worse.When it comes to Cao Cao, it is considered to be the worst.There are many people in the world who are not beneficial to others, but only self-interested.Saying this, I am a little discouraged.Helpless, this is the truth, what can I do?
