my life experience 季羡林 1010Words 2018-03-18
Right now, the vast majority, if not 100%, complain that society is not polite.This is entirely based on facts.Many years ago, when my legs and feet were still flexible, I often took the bus when I went out. Almost every time I saw people arguing on the bus, or even violent people.The causes are trivial: you touch me, I step on your foot, and so on.Just imagine, on a crowded bus, who can not touch whom?Is such a thing worth fighting for? There was a time when relevant authorities called on everyone to learn a few words: "Thank you!" "Sorry!" and so on.It was issued for the above situation.It was well-intentioned, but I felt uncomfortable in my heart.Wouldn't it be a pity that a great country with a civilization of 5,000 years should learn what the kindergarten children said!

Some people blame the new human beings or the new new human beings for the bad manners.I am not qualified to be an accomplice of the new humans, I am already a figure belonging to the museum.However, I want to fight for them.Before they were born, someone had the first whip.However, the words have to be said again.The New Humans or the New New Humans have indeed created and advanced in the aspect of impoliteness. They have carried forward this not-so-beautiful tradition. They (often a couple of men and women) embrace and kiss in broad daylight, amidst traffic, There is no one else around, complacent, and even foreigners who are more informal in this regard are dumbfounded and amazed.The ancients said: "In the boudoir, there are people who are better than thrushes." This is a private matter of the couple, and no one can control it.But this is a matter in the boudoir, and now it is almost moved to the street. Although it is not at the level of "better than a thrush", it is already considerable.How new is the new human being?

If you live alone in the deep mountains and old forests, you can do whatever you want.But we are in a society, so we need to pay attention to interpersonal relationships.People must love themselves and others will love them.Being impolite is a sign of arrogance and a sign of selfishness. If there are too many such people, it will inevitably result in disharmony with society.Don't take it lightly because it's a personal matter. Now that international exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, the bad influence of the bad habits of impoliteness is no longer limited to the country, but will spread to the whole world.A few years ago, I saw some kind of TV film, which was shot by a famous Italian photographer, and the theme was to introduce the situation in Beijing.Of course Beijing’s scenic spots and historical sites are all comprehensive, but suddenly, a big shirtless fat man was riding a bicycle with his hands on the handlebars, doing Tai Chi, and galloping on the broad road in front of Tiananmen Square.Gives the impression of being brutal and disrespectful.Such images are rare.However, it did not escape the eyes of a foreigner.I believe that this TV film will be screened all over the world.Isn't it clear what impact it will have on the minds of foreigners?

In the end, I want to be a copywriter and copy a passage from Hong Kong's "Justice Daily": The rich are courteous and high-quality, the poor are courteous and avoid humiliation, fathers and sons are courteous and filial, brothers are courteous and harmonious, husbands and wives are courteous and affectionate, friends are courteous and loyal, and society is courteous and peaceful.
