    Neither good nor evil. Is fire good or evil?

    If the fire is good? Why burn people?

    If the fire is evil? Why can I get warm?

    Many questions don't need to be asked to others, you can do it yourself, who can prove that I am human? But I knew I was human!

    No matter what Confucius, Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Laozi, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, or any teacher you say, don't take it to heart and ask yourself!

    There is no distinction between good and evil in human beings, human beings are human beings, and only what they do can be good and evil, that is, the same person can do good deeds, then this thing is a good thing, and if what is done is evil, the thing is evil.

    The reason why Buddhism has: the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore.

    People have no thoughts, they are all educated, cold is another manifestation of heat, dwarf is another manifestation of height, and in the same way, evil is just another manifestation of goodness, both are relative.

    If human nature is only good, how can there be evil people in society? If human nature is evil, why do there be good people in society? Human nature is like paper, if there is a good side, there must be an evil side, why are there more good people in some societies?

    And some society has more evil people? It depends on the management method of this society is to let the evil side of the paper of human nature be folded inward and inward, or let the good side be folded inward, the good side is rolled inward, and the evil of people will be spread out to the surroundings, and the evil will be forced to roll inward, and the good side of human nature will be manifested to the surroundings, there is no good or bad in people, the system dictates it, those who do not leave their morals every day but oppose the restrictions of the legal system, while forcing everyone to do those lofty things beyond their own ability, While doing everything possible to evade the supervision of everyone to do those things that hurt nature and reason without a bottom line, this is the same as the hypocrisy of the society ruled by man will only force the whole people to steal, cheat and rob, and good people will be forced to become bad people when they reach this kind of society, and the society ruled by man is a society that forces good people to become prostitutes. The legal society is not the best society, but the legal society has a legal backing, and some basic rights of people are guaranteed, for example, I am now in the initial stage, I have the right to choose not to donate for the time being, and first use the money for entrepreneurship, so that I have the opportunity to support myself with real skills, and I don't need to pretend to donate the money for entrepreneurship to the disaster area to donate to the poor, and turn around and go to steal the money of my neighbors at night to live and start a business, of course, such a society will not be all good people, but at least you have the right to have the opportunity to choose not the right bad person.

    What is desirable is good, and what is not full is evil. Nature is good, and there are indeed people who have become sages. It is true that the vast majority of people do not become saints.

    Nature is good, everyone can be a sage. However, there is still a difference between "learning and not learning", so it is impossible for everyone to learn the inherent goodness of nature, and it is impossible for everyone to become a sage. - If people are not full and have deficiencies, so they cannot become sages, then how do sages learn to do so?

    Hehe, you have to be interested in learning. - Some people have become sages, so there is no doubt that the nature is good, otherwise, what else would there be? Determined to learn, it's also your own business.

    However, as far as governing the world is concerned, the nature of evil is indeed a little more sober, that is, some people do not want to learn, and it is the vast majority of people, it does not make much sense to emphasize the nature of goodness, the key is still to focus on "how to govern".

    There is no distinction between good and evil, and at the beginning of human beings, the inherent goodness of nature refers to the fact that ancient human beings did not have good and disgusting thoughts at the beginning. There is no difference.

    What Gu Dade said is right, but the angle of talk is different, Confucius and Mencius are the same as Buddhism, from the perspective of human nature, and Xunzi's theory of sexual evil is said from the perspective of human habits, and the theory of good and evil is said from the perspective of human nature, but the ancients also have the theory that there is no good and no evil in nature, in general, we take Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism as the core of the Chinese traditional culture to advocate the original goodness of human nature for the purpose, which is the universal values expressed by human culture all over the world.

    Anyway, when a person is still very young, you will know that you will cry when you take his things, and you will even grab you. If adults don't teach, they always like to keep the good things in their own hands.
