Factual arguments about not doing unto others as you would have them do unto you

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

1. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius.

The student of Zhonggong.

Ask Confucius how to behave in order to be benevolent? Confucius immediately said: "A person should treat others seriously, don't impose on others what he doesn't like, and don't complain whether he is in the court or in the opposition."

Zhong Gong thanked, "Although I am sluggish, I must remember my husband's words."

2. In social situations, some people don't smoke or drink themselves, but because they ask for others, or for some reason, they will always toast to others, regardless of whether the other party likes it or not.

3. In family life, there are also such situations, parents and children, siblings, husband and wife, forcing others to do things they don't like to do, such things will happen often, and in their eyes, it is still taken for granted.

4. Throwing garbage while driving on the highway. In fact, caring for the environment is secondary, key drivers know that even a small obstacle can cause an accident at high speeds, so you may see a driver on the street occasionally throwing a mineral water bottle out of the window, but very few drivers dare to throw a mineral water bottle on the highway.

Because this matter is not only about your own safety, but also about the safety of others, and the safety of a general environment also affects your own safety.

5. During the Warring States Period, the Liang State.

Adjacent to the state of Chu, the two countries set up boundary pavilions on the border, and the pavilion soldiers planted watermelons in their respective boundaries. The pavilion guards of the Liang State were very diligent, they weeded and watered the watermelons, and the melon seedlings grew very well; However, the pavilion guards of the Chu State were very lazy, and no one was willing to manage the melon fields, and the melon seedlings were thin and weak. Out of jealousy, the Chu people crossed the border at night and tore off all the melon seedlings of the Liang State.

When he got up early in the morning, Liang Guoren was angry when he found that his melon seedlings were torn off. So, he reported to the county order Song and prepared to tear off the melon seedlings of Chu State. Song said:

It is indeed despicable for the Chu people to do this. However, if we don't want them to tear off our seedlings, why should we turn around and tear off other people's seedlings?

The ancients said, 'Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and from today onwards, you must quietly water and weed their melon fields every night so that their seedlings can grow better.' ”

The pavilion guards felt that Song Jie's words were very reasonable, so they did what he said. A few days have passed, and the Chu people are very happy to find that their melon seedlings are growing better day by day. But if I looked closely, I found that someone had watered the melon field every day, and it was the people of Liang who quietly watered it for them.

After hearing the report of the pavilion guards, the county magistrate of the border county of Chu State felt ashamed and admired the people of Liang Guo.

So, he reported the matter to the king of Chu.

When the king of Chu heard this, he was deeply moved by the sincerity of Liang's peace and neighbors, and specially prepared a heavy gift for Liang to show his self-reproach and deep gratitude.

There are many examples of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, which can be seen in our ordinary lives, such as what we don't want on campus, we can't give it to others. In addition, you can't force others to do things you don't like on campus, even if you hate things or things yourself, you can't push them to others.

And then there are examples that happened in ancient times, like in the previous ancient period, Confucius.

When students have questions about their own way of life, and then ask this question to their teacher Confucius, the teacher Confucius will go like this, that is, do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself.

You can't impose on others what you don't want, so you can't do to others what you don't want.

Don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, examples include Dayu's water control.

The story of Dayu's water control is what he does not want, do not do to others when Dayu accepted the task of water control, just married a girl from Tu Shan's family, when he thought of someone drowning in water, his heart was as painful and uneasy as his relatives were drowned, so he said goodbye to his wife, led 270,000 people to control the water, and carried out the work of dredging the flood day and night.

Brief introduction of examples. After 13 years of hard work, 9 big rivers were dredged, so that the flood flowed into the sea, eliminated the flood, and completed the great cause of flowing through the ages to the Warring States Period, there was a person named Bai Gui, talking about this matter with Mencius, he boasted that if I came to control the water, I would be able to do better than Yu.

As long as I dredge the river and let the flood flow to the neighboring countries, wouldn't it be much easier Mencius said to him very unceremoniously, you are wrong, you use the neighboring country as a place to collect water, and the result will be that the flood will flow backwards and cause greater disasters, which is not the case with a virtuous person. Dayu's water control and Bai Gui's talk about water control are completely based on two different ideas, and Bai Gui only thinks about himself.

Do not consider others, this kind of self-unwanted to do to others wrong thinking is inevitable to harm others and harm themselves Dayu into the sea, although laborious and laborious, but in doing so, not only to eliminate the disaster of its own people, but also to eliminate the disaster of the people of neighboring countries. This spirit of pushing oneself and others is worthy of admiration and emulation. Therefore, Dayu's water control has naturally become a good story through the ages.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is an eternal truth that has been passed down to this day, but in fact it is seriously flawed.

It is the embodiment of typical self-centeredness and selfishness, which must be corrected.

People should learn to empathize and not impose their own views on others. You need to know that what you like may not be liked by others; In the same way, what you hate or what others don't like is often liked. So, never impose your likes and dislikes on others.

The words left by the ancestors make sense, do you think others want to do what you don't want to do.
