Fate suddenly changed course and never greeted the world again.
A sudden epidemic, let people who know how to reflect see the broken soul and spiritual collapse. It also makes those self-righteous and willful people realize the fragility and vulnerability of human beings in the face of nature and destiny.
Fear of nature and life has never been an empty slogan. Nowadays, although medicine is prosperous, science and technology are developed and material civilization has made unprecedented progress, human beings are still like babbling children in front of nature, and many unknown, unknown and invisible phenomena and mysteries still occupy the vast majority, waiting to be explored and discovered.
Hegel, a German philosopher, said: "When mankind cheers for defeating nature, it is the beginning of nature punishing mankind."
Since the Chinese nation has its own historical records, it has advocated that man and nature live in harmony. Ancient sages respected nature, heaven and earth, life and gods, regarded "heaven" as the core concept of the Chinese nation, regarded "harmony between man and nature" as the moral standard of civilization and progress, and regarded "harmony between heaven and earth and man" as the social ideal of living in harmony with nature.
Zhuangzi? "Heaven" said: "Heaven and earth are the same, the sun and the moon are the same, the stars are the same, the animals are the same, and the trees are the same." "Husband knows the virtue of heaven and earth, which is called Big Ben and Heaven and Earth. So, it's all about the world, and it's also about people. Harmony with people is called happiness; Being with heaven and people is called tianle. "
The thought of "Heaven" is the root and essence of China's traditional culture, which has shaped the unique civilization characteristics of the Chinese nation and influenced and edified the way of thinking, values, codes of conduct, customs and beliefs of Chinese children.
Confucius said, "A gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults and fear of the words of saints." Guan Di said, "A gentleman is afraid of three and knows four, so he is cautious about independence."
Only when people are in awe can they perceive the vastness, vastness and infinity of heaven and earth, the magic, broadness and richness of fate and heaven, and their own smallness, humbleness and incompetence. So as to awaken the inner self-discipline and conscience, promote good and stop evil, and cultivate a noble personality of self-cultivation and self-cultivation
By fearing nature, human beings learned to walk upright; By fearing nature, human beings learned to drill wood for fire; By fearing nature, human beings learned to use labor tools; By fearing nature, human beings have learned to raise livestock; By fearing nature, human beings have learned to communicate with each other. By fearing nature, human beings have learned to believe in religion and worship gods.
By fearing nature, human beings have learned civilized manners and moral norms; By fearing nature and learning to think, explore and discover, mankind has become increasingly prosperous in philosophy, medicine, agriculture, engineering, science, mathematics, literature, aesthetics, law, chemistry and physics.
The development of human science and technology and the progress of material civilization have only made insignificant achievements under the merciful guidance of "heaven" and "nature", just like a child who finds a shell on the seashore and dances excitedly, and human beings still don't know how many treasures are left in the sea.
Therefore, human beings should not only respect nature, heaven, life and gods, but also be grateful to nature, heaven, life and gods. Only in this way can human civilization continue to progress and the development of human society continue to flourish.
If people don't know how to fear and make some achievements, they will be complacent and think that they have defeated nature, and they can walk alone outside the laws of nature, destroy ecology, destroy the environment, kill wild animals, destroy the harmony between man and nature, be immoral, destroy faith and annihilate conscience. "Nature" will also let mankind taste the bitter fruit brewed by its unique means.
Natural and man-made disasters are the most terrible events in any historical period. However, natural disasters are terrible and man-made disasters are more dangerous. Natural disasters such as drought and flood, storm, mountain fire, tsunami, hail, earthquake, locust plague and plague have a direct impact on human survival. However, as long as human beings take appropriate measures, the harm can be completely controlled within a certain range.
Xunzi's "On Heaven" said: "Heaven always exists, not for the existence of Yao, not for the death of Jie. Governance is good, governance is chaotic. Strong is frugal, poor is not poor; Get ready, move, and you won't get sick. If you don't practice Buddhism, heaven can't be a disaster. "
Wind, rain, lightning, cold weather, earthquake, tsunami and climate change are all natural phenomena, which existed on the earth long before human beings appeared. Humans should respect the laws of nature, fear nature, make use of nature, and adapt to nature through their own efforts, instead of destroying it, destroying it and destroying it!
As the saying goes, "Heaven commits iniquity, but it can still be violated; You can't live if you do it yourself. "The key to a person's own destiny lies in" everything depends on human effort ". According to historical records, natural disasters often correspond to man-made disasters, and the harm caused by man-made disasters is far greater than natural disasters.
Deforestation destroys forests and grasslands, leading to soil erosion, land desertification, and the earth cannot breathe normally; Random sewage pollution pollutes rivers, lakes and seas, leading to abnormal growth of animals and plants, and human beings can not drink clean water; Excessive killing and indiscriminate killing of wild animals and plants will lead to the imbalance of natural ecological environment, resulting in serious chain consequences, and human resistance will also decline.
Mad cow disease, avian influenza, African swine fever, influenza A (H 1N 1), SARS virus, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, AIDS, COVID-19, etc. , emerge in endlessly, so that human beings are overwhelmed.
And the savage, arrogant, cruel, treacherous, vicious, selfish, willful, ignorant awe and shame, intrigue and mutual aggression of human beings are the chief culprits that lead to frequent natural and man-made disasters!
Following heaven, fearing nature and life are the inculcations written by ancient sages in the classics, and are also the basic cornerstones for human society to enter civilization for a long time.
