Chapter 1945 The so-called humane

Temple of rocks.

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you

Many people have actually heard of this principle, but not everyone understands it

There are always many people in this world. The standards for measuring themselves and others are very different. They are always strict with others and lenient with themselves.

Just like in terms of moral standards, no matter what mistakes you make, even if you commit a crime, it seems to be understandable to many people. But on the contrary, if others make a little mistake, they must hold on to it and are unwilling to be tolerant.

Many times, human moral concepts are not something that is unchanging!

Some people hate things, but if their closest relatives do such things, they will often change their original attitude.

Just like the famous story of cutting trees in Washington

Many people have heard of this story. When I was a child, I was always used to illustrate the importance of honesty when I was studying.

The story is very simple. When Washington was a child, he once cut off two of his father's cherry trees. Then his father came and was very angry. He thought to himself, "If I find out who cuts my tree, I will beat him up." His father asked everywhere. When he asked his son, Washington began to cry. "I cut off your tree!" Washington told him. The father picked up his son and said, "I am such a smart child. I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to you lie."

In many people, the honesty shown in this story is a very important thing, which shows that honesty itself can make some mistakes forgive.

However, for adults, what they see from this story is often completely different from that of children

What children see is that honesty can save themselves from disasters and make up for the mistakes they make

But for adults, there is only one central idea in such a story, that is, the family affection between father and son!

Yes, the family affection between father and son!

For father and son, any gap or mistake can be forgiven. Even if you make a big mistake, even if you make an unforgivable mistake, you can actually be forgiven.

Because this is the so-called father-son relationship!

No matter how big the son makes or how many problems he makes, he will not make his father hate his children. Instead, he will try his best to help his children settle the trouble. As for those who kill relatives for justice, either the relationship between the two parties is bad, or they are forced to do it.

In this story, Washington cut off his father's beloved cherry blossom tree, and his father was not angry about this. The core reason is not because Washington did not lie, but because Washington is his son and is willing to be honest about his mistakes!

This kind of honesty and father-son relationship is one of the fundamental reasons why Washington's father gave up his anger and turned into joy!

On the contrary, if a stranger does such a thing, even if he takes the initiative to admit his mistake, he will probably be beaten up!

To put it in a popular saying, if an apology is useful, then what should the police do?

Many times, honesty cannot avoid punishment, and often it will only make punishment come faster and heavier. This is why most criminals will never be willing to admit their crime after being arrested!

Of course, this is also part of the so-called humanity!

Humanity has never been a constant thing!

Humanity is the truth that people agree with

As the times change, the principles that people agree with will continue to change, and the standards of humanity will naturally change.

However, no matter what, humanity will gradually move towards a state of gradual unification and integration of moral concepts, values ​​and laws, and will eventually form a behavioral model and behavior template that benefits others and self-interest will always be formed.

Acts that conform to this concept will receive enough recognition and appreciation, and on the contrary, if they do not conform to this concept, they will naturally be rejected.

In fact, this is why the so-called win-win concept is always recognized by the vast majority of people, because this itself is a concept that conforms to humanity!

Of course, this is the reason why law and morality have differences!

The law is always rigid and fixed and will not change with people's will, but human morality is often affected by various factors and thus changes.

If the social environment of truth, goodness and beauty is affected, people's moral level will improve. On the contrary, if there is too much negative energy and too much negative news in society, then people's morality will naturally decline.

Whether the moral level rises or falls often needs to be guided by the conclusions of some judicial cases

If a criminal who is enough to arouse public anger is released or sentenced lightly, the moral level of the people will generally decline. On the contrary, if a criminal who is enough to arouse public anger is sentenced to the extreme, the moral level of the people will naturally be improved!

Morality level often needs to be guided by rules!

Many times, people don’t care about so-called morality or immorality, it’s just a behavioral habit!

Just like whether you run a red light when crossing the road, it is a matter of no scruples for most people. For most people, it is nothing more than how to make convenient choices, and that's all.

If the law stipulates that the red light cannot be run, and the relevant fines are set

Then I am afraid that those who wear red lights will disappear quickly. By the same token, smoking in public places, littering and spitting everywhere are all a civilized norm, and this norm is often difficult to implement. Only by punishing through legal means can the occurrence of such uncivilization be truly reduced!

Over time, even if there is no legal provision, human morality will naturally become a habit. When morality becomes a habit, the so-called concept of immorality will no longer exist!

After all, morality does not depend on what a person thinks, but on what a person does. If a person's behavior meets the standards of morality, then what he thinks is actually something that can be completely ignored from the perspective of order!

Of course, the formulation of laws will not happen overnight, but this process is conceivable

Most behaviors that conform to moral concepts will eventually become part of the law, while most behaviors that fail to conform to moral concepts will eventually become part of the illegal acts.

This is a very simple truth, and it will definitely be true in the end.

Although behaviors like dog abuse and cat abuse are not considered illegal at this stage, they will inevitably become illegal in the near future, because such behavior itself is an illegal humane practice.

Of course, humanitarian standards are often difficult to define directly.

After all, different people have different views on things and have different perceptions.

Some people think something ridiculous is a matter of course.

Just like the wedding customs in very low places, it seems to be just a custom in the eyes of the locals. No matter how bad this custom itself is, they will turn a blind eye to it and keep it up.

However, in some urban people with higher levels of civilization, this so-called custom is actually no longer a custom, it is a kind of vulgarity, or even a serious insult to others, or even a crime!

Just like in many ancient mountain villages, they are still in a state of anarchy and lawlessness, and are still the patriarch of a family. They can decide the life and death of the clan members in one word. They themselves do not think there is anything wrong with this, but for civilized and orderly people, such a life is simply unimaginable.

Of course, many times, the more backward the place, the more barbaric their lifestyle appears, and the simpler and more crude their system becomes.

On the contrary, the more civilized the place, the more institutionally it is, it is always more humanistic.

This is the reason why the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come from troubled people

With the process and development of social modernization, the values ​​of the vast majority of people will gradually be affected and change. The life patterns and thinking patterns of people in cities will eventually radiate to those not too developed remote areas, thus having a drastic impact and change on their lives and thinking.

Similarly, people's moral level will gradually reach a relatively unified level with the development of civilization.

Morality is always matched and fits with civilization. The more resources, the more fair the distribution is, the higher the average moral level of human beings will be. The closer a person's moral level is to the average level of human beings, the easier it is to get recognition from others.

On the contrary, excessively high moral level and too low moral level often make people naturally want to reject or become disgusted.

Just like many people in the countryside, they don’t have much concept of companionship with dogs. Most of the time, they just treat dogs as a private property or a spare food, and that’s all.

This concept is often difficult for people who keep pets in cities to accept, but in real life, there are indeed such people who know nothing about the value of pets. For them, pet dogs are just a bunch of dog meat ingredients.

This concept is actually difficult to accept even for people who do not raise dogs. Most people, even if they do not raise dogs and eat dog meat, will not regard a living dog as a food or a private property. Most of the time, they will regard all kinds of animals as a life. Even if they do not like these animals, they will definitely give necessary respect.

Of course, looking at dog issues does not actually fall into the category of morality, it is just a simple humane standard. Some butchers who are cruel to dogs are extremely enthusiastic about people, but they cannot be generalized.

That's the truth
