Looking at human nature from the Liu Qiangdong incident and Li Guoqing’s comments

Deadwood

During the Winter Solstice Festival, regarding Liu Qiangdong’s “sexual assault incident” and Li Guoqing’s damaging comments, the author wrote two articles to condemn them. After the article was published, there were many comments in reply There are so many, it is difficult to reply one by one, and the word limit makes it inconvenient to discuss. Therefore, I feel the need to write a dedicated article to reply in a unified manner. I also hope to briefly discuss the current human nature and moral issues.

First of all, let me state that there has never been any so-called payment for publishing articles. Whether it is JD.com, Liu, or others, writing articles is purely based on feelings. It is not an unfounded moan or a hot topic. As for those comments It is purely conjecture to say that money was used to launder land, and some of them have not read my other articles. My consistent style is to criticize the current ills and discuss matters as they are. I do not write praises for the powerful, but only express my grievances for the common people. Take this matter as an example. Liu Qiangdong is morally corrupt and Li Guoqing is vulgar and degenerate. They are the same species. Therefore, they wrote separate articles to condemn and denounce each other. There is no intention to favor one over the other or to criticize the other. More importantly, there is a certain reflection behind these incidents. The ruthless whipping of some wealthy businessmen and vulgar circle culture.

Some comments believe that what happened between Liu and Li has anything to do with us? Can't do it. This is a typical ostrich culture and the indifference of bystanders. It's none of your business, just hang it up high. As everyone knows, society is a society of all people. As a member of it, everyone has the right and responsibility to criticize and condemn bad social customs. If you face it indifferently, or remain silent, or even turn a blind eye to the bad social customs, it is already bad. There is no cure. The German theologian Martin Niem?ller has a profound saying, roughly speaking, if you do not stand up when others are suffering injustice, then when you are tortured, no one will be able to stand up.

Some comments are quite sarcastic, thinking that if someone is a billionaire, you may be just a small author, but you can? ! People can donate hundreds of millions, but what have you done? ! What right do you have to evaluate others? ! This kind of argument is a typical method of substituting concepts. Does it require equality of status to comment on a person? Do you need to be in a position of power to criticize bad practices? What's the point? This is a typical slave's appearance and bad nature at work.

Donating money to do good deeds is to do it to the best of one's ability, not to judge based on the amount. This is the meaning of "donation". Rich celebrities rely on public profits to gain more public resources and popularity. Donating money is just a social responsibility. Moreover, in reality, there are many scandals of false donations, which is a kind of irony. To take a step back, no matter how much you donate, it does not mean you have more power, nor does it mean you can do whatever you want without any scruples. In the face of morality and law, everyone is equal. Just because the rich donate more money, they can have groups of wives and concubines and live in promiscuity. In the face of bad phenomena, everyone can denounce them, instead of having the right to speak based on status and wealth. According to the bastard logic of these commentators, if it is measured by money, then what is public order and good customs? Such slaves are the dog-skin plaster of society. They will cause bad things if they don't work.

Other comments believe that the author is standing on a moral level and pretending to be a "moral bitch". Li Guoqing is telling the truth. In reality, many rich people have extramarital sex, but they only do it and don't talk about it. However, Li Guoqing spoke freely and said that he is a "real villain", while all those criticized and accused are "hypocrites". This argument is actually a manifestation of the low social atmosphere. It is precisely because people lack moral restraint, are eager for quick success, and focus on money, thus forming a money worship culture of "laughing at the poor rather than laughing at prostitution" and the "I'd rather be in a BMW." The sad phenomenon of "crying but not laughing on the bicycle", morality has become a meaningless term, and moral integrity has become the object of others' jokes. These people are both victims and abusers of the bad social atmosphere. They often adopt double standards in life and speak from their own standpoint. This kind of person may not have thought about what happens if his wife messes with others. What would he think? Could it be that "you hurt me and I just laughed it off?!" As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." The quality of these people is extremely bad.

Some comments seem profound and point directly to people's hearts. That is, when faced with the temptation of beautiful women, can a man not make the same mistake? The author denounced Liu Qiangdong and Li Guoqing, which is hypocrisy, otherwise he would not be a man. This issue is related to human nature and morality. I would like to discuss it briefly. However, it can be said with certainty that people who hold this view are just weak people in their own hearts. They are just looking for steps to make mistakes in the future, just like an actor. What he said about "making the same mistakes that men all over the world make" is just a perfect excuse for himself. According to this logic, those who haven't cheated are not considered men? !

Normal people have seven emotions and six desires, joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire. Everyone has it. Because of desire, thoughts arise, and the development from thinking to behavior is a completely different concept. In order to resist evil thoughts and curb bad behaviors, humans have gradually formed a set of restraint systems over the long history to maintain the normal operation of society. This is also the root of the emergence of moral concepts and legal provisions, and it is also the basis for the existence of the family and the country. in accordance with.

As early as the pre-Qin period, our ancestors had very complete concepts of moral restraint and legal punishment. "Book of Rites and Music" records: "Those who transform human beings into things are those who destroy the laws of nature and make the poor poor. ", which means the later Song Dynasty's "preserve the laws of nature and destroy human desires", so as to achieve "conscience". Although the Song Dynasty had a biased understanding of it and women were in a subordinate position, in the final analysis it was to improve people's self-discipline. Having ideas does not mean having to act. Moral and legal constraints are to curb such immoral thoughts and behaviors, so that people can live in a fair and orderly environment.

Those comments that one cannot resist temptation, or that extramarital sex is normal, are a sign of depravity and a typical lack of restraint. They also indicate a lack of moral education and family. Upbringing. Some people point out Li Yinhe as if what she said makes sense. In fact, I think that Li Yinhe only sees the "animal nature" of people and does not see the "propriety" of "propriety, justice, integrity and shame". This is only one-sided and fragile. . Imagine, if men can cheat, women can do random things, etiquette breaks down, and moral standards completely collapse, what will society look like? How is that different from primitive society? What's the difference between that and animals? They are nothing more than dressed-up beasts!

The author does not want to stand on a high moral level, nor do I want to advertise myself, but I am even more unwilling to belittle myself. I just want to explain a truth. Society needs a certain order and moral restraint, and cannot act arbitrarily, especially as a public figure. You can't talk nonsense, mislead the public, let alone be ugly and show your bestiality. Such public figures will eventually be cast aside by everyone! As the saying goes, if you can't resist temptation, you will be ruined, but if you resist temptation, you can live an upright life. Don't use "no one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes" to excuse it, and don't tarnish the wisdom of the ancients. The so-called "mistakes" of the ancients were unintentional mistakes, not wanton mistakes!

"Book of Rites: Music Book" says: "Therefore, it is said: Those who are happy are happy. A gentleman is happy to have his way, and a villain is happy to have his desires. If you control your desires with the way, you will be happy without chaos; with desires If you forget the Tao, you will be confused and unhappy.” Therefore, for the same kind of happiness, a gentleman will get morality and righteousness, while a villain will get lewd pleasures and selfish desires. The social order under moral restraint will be stable, but if moral etiquette is forgotten, the society will end up in chaos and confusion.

Let’s ask ourselves, when you comment, it has or will have an impact on the social atmosphere. Do you want a beautiful and harmonious society, or an uncontrolled and unrestrained atmosphere where everyone does whatever they want? If you have humanity in your heart, then when you comment on anything, you must put yourself in someone else's shoes, come from a public mind, and have conscience and justice. This is the most noble thing about human nature and the biggest difference from animal nature. This is not about showing off, this is not about being noble, but It is the call for justice for the beautiful society you hope for.
