Among human nature, there is good and evil, just like day and night, so there are good people and bad people in our society.
A person who only knows the goodness of human nature and imagines everyone to be good people is too simple and prone to be taken advantage of; a person who has seen too much of the badness of human nature and imagines everyone to be bad people is too negative, which is also not desirable.
The real master, should be able to read the rules of human nature, and then still full of love for life. It's like, we can not be bad people ourselves, but we need to know the tricks of the bad people.
People in middle age, can read these three "human nature of evil", our minds more mature. Let's take a look at them together!
01, indifference
Because people have a selfish nature, so everyone cares more about themselves, and will not put the pain of others really in mind; even if you try to care about others, there is no real empathy. As Mr. Lu Xun said: The sorrows and joys of mankind are not connected, and there is no such thing as empathy!
Mr. Lu Xun's sister-in-law Xianglin is so poor, but almost no one cares about her. She told everyone about her tragic fate, but in the eyes of others, it was all a joke, because human nature is selfish and indifferent. Mr. Lu Xun attacked the "spectators" is also full of human evil - indifference.
People should help each other and care for each other, which is the embodiment of a civilized society and the goodness of human nature. As Mencius said: Love people, love people, respect people .
But there is an evil side to human nature, and the opposite of love is indifference, and the indifference is that love is dead.
In today's society, people care more and more indifference between people, everyone seems to care only about their own small family, even on the road to see the old man fell, but also pretend to see nothing.
In fact, this is an abnormal phenomenon, but also a reflection of the evil of human nature. Moreover, indifference will spread like a virus, and finally make the truly caring people feel lonely and even resentful.
Imagine: if everyone is selfish and only cares about themselves, not caring if others live or die, can we really be safe and happy living in such a society?
As the writer Zhou Guoping said, "What is really scary, both for the individual and for the society, is indifference, which makes the individual lose the meaning of life, and makes the society have a moral crisis. In my opinion, one of the most alarming phenomena in today's society is indifference.
02, jealousy
Jealousy, also known as the "evil eye", often occurs between acquaintances, mostly due to psychological imbalance, so some people "can not see the good of those around them" as a human nature.
The philosopher Bacon said: People can allow a stranger's rise, but can not forgive the rise of a person next to them . Because there is a conflict of contrasts and interests between people at the same level, while with strangers there is no problem in this regard.
For example, if you put five crabs inside a basket without a lid, none of the crabs can climb out. Because crabs, like men, are jealous and cannot see the good in their fellows, whenever they see their fellows about to climb out, they drag each other's hind legs vigorously, so that they throw them down.
So the cycle repeats itself, and in the end no one wants to be good, and no one can climb out. This is a bit like the "bottom of the barrel" that happens in human society, where the more we share the same disease, the more we envy each other and trip each other up.
The smart people are always on each other's side; the dumb people are always on each other's.
And the smart people are always on each other's side.
Moreover, the more acquaintances, the more prone to jealousy, triggering the evil of human nature. For example, those who stab each other in the back are often acquaintances; most crimes are committed between acquaintances. Therefore, the ancients warned us that we should not get close to tigers, but not to acquaintances.
Acquaintances know each other well, and if one day a colleague suddenly won a big prize, a classmate developed a noble, a relative mixed well, we will be more or less jealous.
The idea is that the people of the world will be the ones who have the most to offer, and they will be the ones who have the most to offer, and they will be the ones who will be the ones who will have the most to offer. A nanny in Hangzhou was so jealous of her employer that she ended up committing a crime, all because of the evil of human nature - jealousy.
Almost everyone is jealous, because everyone can't help but compare. Because of this, envy is included in the West as one of the seven deadly sins, and Bacon also said: Love and envy are the two most compelling emotions.
Jealousy often occurs between acquaintances with a certain emotional basis - between lovers, relatives and friends. Between coworkers, because it involves the distribution of benefits, is also a high incidence of jealousy. It can be said that as long as there are people, produced by the intersection between people, it is easy to produce jealousy.
The reason why a person is jealous is because he can't get something, so he feels pain; the more pain, the stronger the jealousy. So, jealous people are not only destroying others, but also torturing themselves. What's more, people with heavy jealousy will develop into psychopaths. We often see in the palace drama, some consorts in order to compete for favor, using some very vicious means, which is jealous of the human nature of the evil in playing a bad role.
Jealousy is like what Buddhism calls "the heart of anger" in general, easy to poison the body and mind, we should try to quit, and try to cultivate a heart of the ocean.
03, will be happy to build on the pain of others
Selfishness is human nature, moderate selfishness is also allowed by society. However, the selfishness is too much, the loss of others, will be their own happiness built on the pain of others, is belonging to the inhuman, hateful to the extreme.
For example, some of the square dancers just care about their own happiness, not caring about the noise nuisance, even on the day before the college entrance exams, they do not listen to the advice. This kind of person is the attribute of exquisite egoist, with the great evil of human nature flowing in their body.
Also, in some cases of school bullying, some students slapped other students in public and laughed, posting it on the Internet to satisfy their own vanity. This kind of people also almost lost the most basic human nature, will be their own happiness based on the pain of others, abominable to the extreme.
Not long ago, I saw this scene on the Internet: a female Peking opera performer sitting on her knees above the stage, as if she had just finished her performance. It is estimated that the audience to reward the happy wine, even someone directly moving a basket of crayfish poured next to the actress, scared the actress at a loss.
The more the actress showed fear, the audience around the more excited, the louder the sound of coaxing. Unbeknownst to them, these unqualified spectators are also guilty of the evil of human nature, building their own happiness on top of the pain of others, abominable to the extreme.
The reason why people can be called human beings rather than beasts is that they have the most basic human nature and do not dare to hurt their own kind.
Mencius said: Compassion, all people have , otherwise it is a beast. So, to build one's own happiness on top of the pain of others, without the basic heart of kindness and compassion, belongs to the greatest evil of human nature.
Conclusion:
The evil of human nature is almost always based on selfishness, which is also an instinct of human beings as animals.
Indifference belongs to a kind of low-level selfishness, the first level of human nature, at least did not hurt others;
Jealousy belongs to a kind of intermediate selfishness, the second level of human nature, because it will hurt others, but also inevitably hurt themselves;
However, will be their own happiness on the pain of others belongs to a kind of the most advanced selfishness, this kind of people contempt for their fellow man. This kind of person scorns his own kind, does not regard others as human beings, and has the greatest evil of human nature flowing in him, and is often prone to excite public indignation.
