At present, there are many phenomena of corruption, bribery and greed in society. This is by no means groundless, the so-called news record, so-and-so mayor was double-checked for corruption and bribery; People in a certain position take advantage of their position to enrich themselves. Such news events are not uncommon. For these phenomena, some people even quoted Balzac's "collapse of faith, moral decay, cross-flow of human desires" to summarize. Whether it is exaggerated or not, people should pay attention to it and take a warning. However, we should not forget the virtue of "clean government" of China people because of this negative phenomenon. There have been many inspirational examples since ancient times. In Yangzhen, Eastern Han Dynasty, someone gave ten Jin of gold at dusk and said, "Nobody knows at dusk." Yang Zhen replied: "Heaven knows, earth knows, I know, I know. What is ignorance? " Scout that man. This sentence has been handed down from generation to generation, so that many people surnamed Yang call it "Yang, the Four Knowing Hall". The incorruptible "Master Kansai" made his descendants proud and his face was stained with light. At the end of the Han dynasty, there was a satrap who rowed back to his hometown after he dismissed from office. He had nothing to lose, and he was afraid that the boat would capsize, so he moved a big stone. When I got to my hometown, I abandoned the boulder outside the city gate and buried it in the soil for a long time. It was not unearthed until the Ming Dynasty broke ground, so a pavilion named "Shi Lian" was built for it. Even a stubborn stone has gained a good reputation as an honest and upright official.
There are few examples of such incorruptibility, and there are not a few good officials in modern society. Honest officials like Jiao and Guo are appreciated and admired by the people, and will also go down in history and be passed down through the ages. Then, why did the original people-oriented clean officialdom and shopping malls distort the performance they should have? In my opinion, it stems from "competition" and from the pursuit of power and treatment. Officialdom brings rights, glory and people's material and psychological needs. This not only changed their lives, but also protected future generations. So you should stick to what you have and strive for what you don't have, and this process is bound to be the means of Machiavellianism. As a result, the essence of officialdom has gradually changed with the rights, and it is a world of power struggle and profit struggle. Different levels enjoy different treatment, and the increasingly unsatisfied material needs make people demand higher and higher treatment. High-level people enjoy unique treatment, which makes many people try their best to pursue higher positions and powers in order to enjoy higher treatment.
When we are desperate for power and interests, perhaps we should stop moving forward, take a look at ourselves and appreciate the lotus in this pool: "Love the lotus alone, stick to the mud, make friends straight without evil, have a clear fragrance, be delicate and delicate, and look at it from a distance without being ridiculous." Want to call chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, blooming with wealth; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. ..... "Zhou Dunyi's" Love Lotus "vividly describes the beauty and soul of the lotus. While enjoying it, shouldn't we calm down and think about it? "Don't get tired of fame and wealth, don't get carried away by power", you must have the ability to effectively eliminate all interference, be unmoved by foreign things, and be confused by interests, and always take the honest attitude that "a gentleman should always behave himself, always reflect on himself and always discipline himself". You must endure hardship, resist temptation, resist absurdity and control details. For the public, power can not only benefit the people, but also destroy the cause; For an individual, power can not only make contributions, go down in history, but also become immortal by corruption. Being honest and clean is the basic principle of being an official. Facing all kinds of tests and temptations, we must establish a correct view of power. Selfless dedication like lotus, mud and sand are everywhere. Down-to-earth, work hard and struggle hard.
"The land is fragrant with flowers, and the clear pool is silent. Don't compete with peaches and plums for the spring breeze, and the fire will be cold in July. " Since ancient times, there have been countless poems praising lotus flowers. From this first sentence, we can all appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of lotus, and we should also appreciate its thought, character and spirit. We should also wash the dust of the soul with the character of the lotus, and interpret the true meaning of life with the spirit of the lotus, so that the lotus, a clean bloom, will be in our hearts.
