How hard is it to be a good person?

Being a good person is more difficult than being a bad person: because doing bad things often only needs to weigh the pros and cons and consider the gains and losses; But being a good person is different. Sometimes things happen suddenly, and you have no time to evaluate personal gains and losses and consider risks. Just like college student Zhang Hua jumped into the cesspool and saved an old farmer. It is meaningless to argue whether it is worth doing, because the "good" of a good thing is an evaluation of moral and ethical values, not an evaluation of interests. Sometimes it is more worthwhile to lend people ten dollars than to donate ten thousand dollars. Judging ethical value by practical utility is a way of thinking that destroys the moral value system.

If the child abuse case did not have a video sent by Mr. Wang out of indignation, no one might ever know that the girl was treated as an animal. Some specific ways that Mr. Wang did it may be illegal, but any good man will do it without evaluating the results and considering the risks.

In contrast, Mr. Wang's company is really cold and impersonal-dismiss Mr. Wang and bash those who want to be good people: when asking everyone to do good things, we should evaluate the risks and consider the cost of being good people. A company can neither represent the law nor become a moral court. As an employee, having done good deeds and wanting to be a good person, he should have been cared for by the company. But the reason given by the company is that his behavior "does not conform to the company's values." This is a ridiculous thing. Companies put themselves in the perspective of moral judges, and this so-called value system is also debatable.

So, what are the values of this company? Don't be a bad person, but don't be a good person.

What do you mean, neither a bad person nor a good person? That can only be passers-by: I watched quietly and did nothing. Passerby A is the least risky: you don't hurt others, and you don't want to help others. Because you are a bad person who hurts others, you will be punished by both morality and law; Help others. You are a good person, but you may hurt yourself. Please don't forget that good people and bad people are an ethical evaluation, which means that sometimes when you are a passerby, you stand in the queue of bad people. Sometimes inaction is equivalent to doing bad things: the inaction of officials is a blasphemy against official positions; Law enforcement inaction is a stain on the law; Seeing the bad guys doing nothing and doing evil, that's helping the bad guys ... a passerby becomes a bad guy unconsciously.

From this point of view, the most difficult factor is to be a good person, followed by a passerby, and it is often easier to be a bad person-this is really the absurdity of society. However, Mr. Wang's company fired the employee who did good deeds, which is the most realistic teaching material. The company turned itself into a passerby immediately after the incident, and it felt that being a passerby was the embodiment of its values.
