Ceng Shiqiang: The purpose of people's life is to cultivate their moral quality!

Morality has been the highest evaluation standard of our Chinese nation since ancient times. At present, various social problems are more prominent, and in the final analysis, they are all moral deficiencies.

Nowadays, people generally lack faith and cognition of morality. To make matters worse, many people often talk about benevolence and morality while doing immoral things.

From the very beginning in China, we said that we should behave ourselves and do things in a down-to-earth manner. No one denied this. But everyone feels very funny in their hearts: how did our nation, which once talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, get to the point where people's hearts are corrupted now? Full of benevolence and morality, all actions are unsightly and despised by others. Isn't that strange?

This has led to a very bad phenomenon. People lose confidence in morality more and more, and even they are disgusted when they see who speaks morality. There are three main manifestations, and we should take this as a warning, otherwise it will do great harm to people and ourselves.

First, I don't believe in morality.

Now many people hear morality, and he laughs: morality, how much is morality worth? Of course, it is difficult for such people to enrich their self-cultivation and improve their moral character. All you think about is money. If you have money, you will look good. If you have money, you will have status. Then where is your moral decay?

Second, morality is immeasurable.

It is easy to estimate a person's ability, and there is no standard to evaluate a person's moral character. Morality is not for others to evaluate, and morality has a clear conscience. In fact, it doesn't matter what others say, because after a long time, people will naturally know who is good and who is bad, who has good moral cultivation and who has poor moral cultivation, and it is clear.

Third, it is unlucky to talk about morality.

We often say that honest people suffer, and those who obey the rules are worthless, so the whole faith is really gone. If we say today's crisis of faith, I think the most serious thing is the loss of faith in morality, which is the most terrible.

Don't be influenced by these wrong ideas, don't believe in morality, and then make wrong value judgments, which will outweigh the benefits.

Zhou Wuwang gave the clearest definition of morality. He said: Man is the soul of all things. It has aroused many people's criticism that this is human chauvinism and is not worth talking about, because man is an animal at all. So slowly, we are thieves of everything now.

Many animals, their extinction is man-made. Many species disappeared and people got rid of them. Mankind has become the first killer who destroys nature, the environment and the overall law. Then what dignity and value does such a person have?

To tell the truth, Zhou Wuwang said that man is the spirit of all things, that is to say, since he is a man, he should be conscious and keep his distance from animals. Man is the only animal in the world that can help them transform the world. This is our responsibility, and it is very important.

Foreigners don't feel this way. We respect him and can't force him, because this matter is spontaneous, otherwise it is useless to talk about death and use legal provisions.

We should understand that as China people, we have indomitable spirit. When you read all foreign books, you rarely talk about indomitable spirit. They think it's a joke. Stand up straight. Are you that tall? When foreigners hear us say these words, they all shake their heads and think that we are high-profile and unrealistic. This is their business.

Everything, no matter right or wrong, is clear in one sentence and is made by people. Therefore, people should realize that the world is getting better and better, and human beings will have face; The world is getting worse, so don't blame others. So Confucius said: Don't complain about others. You have to reflect on yourself. How did this happen?

People are creative and can create all kinds of patterns, which is a special ability given to us by nature, but we must understand that our creation should conform to ethical standards, so that we can't be wrong.

Anything, as long as there is morality as the foundation, you try to create, as long as it goes against moral conscience, never do it.

In fact, we use morality to make up for the deficiency of religion and morality to make up for the deficiency of law. This is our true faith. Religion has adapted to the needs of these people, but it can't adapt to the needs of those people; If the law adapts to the needs of this region, it cannot adapt to the needs of that region, which requires morality as a support and standard.

People in China often say that it makes sense to travel all over the world, and it is impossible to move without reason. This principle is ethics. We have never talked about obeying the law and traveling around the world. Morality is invisible, but if you believe in morality, there will never be any sequelae.

Everyone in the world knows that people should live forever. Western religions tell you that people who believe in me will live forever. The immortality of China people is not based on religion. The Book of Changes tells us that immortality depends on ourselves. If you want to live forever, you will live forever. No one can help you if you live forever.

Therefore, our eternal life is another way, which is called non-religious way, that is, ethical way, which has a deep influence on our China culture.

Everything in life is born but not dead, and there is only one thing that can turn from life to death, and that is morality.

Therefore, it can be said that morality is the foundation of being a man, and the purpose of people coming here is to cultivate themselves. Morality is not only a person's accomplishment, but also the highest wisdom. Being a man and doing things according to the Tao Te Ching will be very lucky in the end.
