So, what is "good"?
The eight virtues of life "filial piety, loyalty, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" are all the essence of the moral education of Confucius, the most holy teacher of Dacheng, and are respected by Confucian scholars of all ages. Mencius, a representative of Confucianism, often used the term "filial piety, loyalty, loyalty" as the specific content of "goodness". Filial piety to parents, respect to elders, loyalty to the monarch, and trust in friends are all basic morals of life in ancient times.
If "filial piety, loyalty and trustworthiness" represent good deeds, then "goodness" is: the establishment of a proper harmonious relationship between people can be used to cover all behaviors with positive moral value.
It can be seen from this that "goodness" can only be displayed when people treat each other, and the word "benevolence" means "following people and following two", and the word "benevolence" is quite meaningful. "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan" said: "One day self-denial and ritual return, the world will return to benevolence." It can be seen that the ideal state of self-cultivation in Confucius' heart is "benevolence".
There is a close relationship between kindness and benevolence. The benevolent feel the power to do good from within because of sincerity, while the benevolent do not end there. That is to say, good people may do good deeds only to make their behavior conform to the moral norms and to respond to the public opinion and common expectations of the society, but not necessarily from the heart.
Since ancient times, Chinese people like to emphasize that human nature is inherently good. In fact, a more accurate way to say it should be that human nature is good. And to truly be "good", you need to be sincere from the heart. When you get along with the group, you must understand that goodness is the realization of an appropriate relationship between yourself and others, so as to cultivate your moral character and gradually achieve human nature to be good, choose good and be stubborn, Stop at the three levels of perfection.
With kind thoughts, the situation changes with the heart
Good thoughts are just in the blink of an eye, in every gesture. A heaven, a hell. One thought of landslides and ground cracks, one thought of extinguishing the wind and waves. In fact, there are too many choices to make based on a single thought.
There is a saying in "Little Window": "One thought for good, good luck and gods follow; one thought of evil, evil ghosts follow."
A person's circumstances and situations will change with the change of his heart. If the heart is peaceful and harmonious, the surroundings will be filled with bright sunshine and warm spring breeze; People are anxious all day long.
