Chen Danqing said: "If a person has no knowledge of kindness and social responsibility, then everything else is just harmful to him!" Indeed, all civilizations mastered by human beings need Tao to control, and Tao in my eyes is a kind conscience and a conscience responsible for society.
Some people may ask, why can the conscience responsible for social kindness be placed in such a supreme position as Tao?
Because Tao is the foundation of human nature, it determines the starting point of a person and even a society.
As early as the Song Dynasty, Zhang Zai put forward the highest ideal and basic learning criterion of intellectuals, which is based on conscience, that is, "stand for heaven and earth, stand for the people, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and be peaceful for all generations." However, cynicism prevails in today's society. Many intellectuals abandoned conscience and Tao and turned to serve fame and fortune. How many experts bow their heads and kneel before power, and even a few experts declare that "gutter oil is harmless" and "tofu bridge is free". Some international students come back from overseas, and even use what they have learned to develop drugs, endangering their lives.
It can be seen that even if poetry can cure vulgarity and books can cure stupidity, if we abandon our sense of responsibility to society and are full of poems and books, they will all become weapons that harm others and ourselves. Without the support of conscience, knowledge will only make the world sicker.
Laozi has a saying: "Everything in the world is born, and everything is born without it. If you think it is beneficial, you will think it is useless. " What is here is only the material basis of society, not what it is, but some intangible laws and norms. This is what I emphasize, this is the long-awaited conscience of our times, and it is also a badly needed medicine.
Xiao Yueyue's death reflects the indifference of this society. Isn't indifference a reflection of the lack of conscience and social responsibility? The opposite of beauty is not ugliness, but indifference. The opposite of life is not death, but indifference. What the world needs most is indifference, not disease.
This group is indifferent, and only Tao can cure it. Although diligence can cure poverty, law can cure chaos. However, only by awakening the good and socially responsible conscience can we really get rid of the poverty of the soul and cure the chaos caused by moral deficiency.
Pascal, a great philosopher, believes that the nobility of human beings lies in the soul. Being a kind person and being responsible for the society is the noble core of human beings and the hope to free the world from pathological conditions.
Why did Mr. Lu Xun abandon medicine and join literature? Because he wants to awaken the soul of a nation with Tao. Similarly, Dr. Sun Yat-sen put down his scalpel and turned to the invisible Dao "Tao", which won the victory of the Revolution of 1911 and the ideological emancipation of the people of China.
The most effective medicine and the most fundamental motivation of these two gentlemen is the heart of Tao! They are two great doctors in China who approached the Buddha and entered the immortal world. They treat the world with Taoist thoughts, so they are noble.
I believe that everyone with kindness and conscience can approach Buddha as long as they are kind-hearted, and they can approach immortals as long as they have the ability and kindness. They all have the ability to heal the world.
So I think the most important thing is to implement Tao and conscience in all aspects of social life. We should inject Tao into our minds, not spray it on their surfaces. We should immerse our kindness and social responsibility into everyone's life, instead of simply spraying and doing some formalistic education.
We should use Tao and conscience to heal the world, make people's hearts perfect, get rid of diseases and get closer to happiness.
