Everyone said that it was not because society has progressed and there have been more evils

Definitely not. If society progresses, sin will naturally decrease.

If there is more sin, then the society is not progressive, but corrupt.

The bottom line is that all people have sinned and fall short of God's glory. To put it bluntly, it is selfish.

When class contradictions are prominent, there are many evils.

Definitely not. China's current society is like this, and when there is money, the society is also chaotic. But our society is one of uneven development.

We are now the economy first, and the socio-spiritual and cultural aspects are far behind the pace of economic development. Such a society cannot be called a progressive society.

This is inevitable, and material things develop too quickly, and the spirit is prone to emptiness, as evidenced by the Beat Generation. This is unavoidable.

The current moral decline is largely the result of a belief vacuum.

There are too many people without faith.

Buddhism and traditional Chinese Confucianism are both persuasive to do good, and many people used to believe in them sincerely.

He who believes is good to himself and exhorts others to do good.

Nowadays, many people only believe in money, even if they worship Buddha and believe in God, they only ask God to bless themselves with promotion and wealth, and to bless them from being discovered by others.

Can a society that only believes in money not become more and more sinful?

Caused by national policy! The state only attaches importance to economic development and neglects culture and education. The social evils of money supremacy can only become more and more!

Desire and motivation are a tension and an obstacle that you always want to achieve is what is not. Too many people have too many desires, desires belong to the future to be achieved, and people with too many desires cannot be satisfied with the present. Kill all desires, enjoy the present moment, life can be eternal, and you who are content with the present moment are all, eternal, and beautiful ...

Human beings' desire for "life" can often create miracles.

A lot of things are not absolute, not white, not necessarily black.

In fact, many things and many people in the world are wandering in the gray area. There are no absolute good guys, and there are no absolute bad guys; Good people sometimes do bad things, and bad people sometimes do good things......

In fact, life is a very delicate thing, and everything itself is not defined, it all depends on one's own will and choice.

The key to why your problem becomes a problem depends on how you look at the problem itself, and any explanation has its rational elements in it.

How to understand desire is the key. Only with desire can there be everything, and desire can destroy everything.

The Buddha Says the Ten Good Karma Sutras (Episode 111) 2000 12 27 Singapore Pure Sect Society File name: 19-14-111

In today's world, the general perception of people believes that the world is constantly improving, what is the driving force? Desire; Desire is driving the world and making the world progress every day. What happens in the end?

The world will be destroyed, and it will all be destroyed. So if you think about it, does Buddhism make sense for us to let go and teach us to turn back? People spend their lives desperately pursuing desires, and this person is pitiful and has no rest in his life.

The enjoyment he can get, that enjoyment is really calm and thoughtful, and the gain outweighs the loss. What a price you have paid! How stressed you are physically and mentally!

This is wrong.

Let's take the simplest example, comparing Americans with Chinese. Americans' material life is indeed much better than that of Chinese, they have their own very comfortable living environment, they have cars to go out, every family has a garden, there is a garden, and the life in the home is all electrified equipment. We Chinese are very envious when we see it:

Other people's lives are good, but we are not as good as him. It seems that I accompanied Director Han back to my motherland for the first time in 80 years, to Dalian. Their fellow villagers asked about life in the United States, and we lived in the United States at that time, and we all looked at it with envy.

But I told them that I had poured cold water on them, and I said, "Americans are not as good as yours!" 」

They were very surprised, and they asked, "Why?" We went out on bicycles, and we lived in dilapidated houses that couldn't compare to Americans in any way. I said, "Excuse me, there were probably some of you here at that time."

Twenty or thirty people, which one of you is living in debt? Everyone looked at each other, and there was none. Terrific!

Americans live on credit. You are not in debt, they are in debt. He was in debt from birth and couldn't pay it off until he died.

Those of us who study Buddhism know that we will pay off our debts in the next life. How mentally stressed he was! Why work hard every day?

Debt. Buying a house, buying a car, and household utensils are all loans from banks; Banks lend you money, insurance companies lend money, it's all borrowed money, and you have to pay it back every month.

So you don't look at the treatment of Americans, the average treatment can be about 3,000 yuan a month, we hear: This is very remarkable; Ordinary income, one-third of paying taxes, one-third of debt repayment is a little more, and three thousand yuan can actually be used by oneself, probably only.

Seven or eight hundred dollars. If the job is gone, you're done with everything. Why?

Banks come to force debts, insurance companies come to force debts, auction your house, auction your car, auction your home appliances, furniture, pay off debts! So there is no work, there is nothing, they live this life. Although the Chinese work harder, they are not in debt!

Every day after work, I see a few people at the door of their house, he has no yard, set a small table at the door, eat peanuts there, drink old wine, and travel freely, this kind of mood foreigners do not have, how can they have this kind of enjoyment! You see, true happiness is letting go of desires.

Normal desires form part of the behavior and are the driving force behind the creation of employment, because thinking is also a manifestation of karma. Wrong attachment creates sin

It is not a manifestation of human depravity.

No, it's just that society has progressed, and you know more mental illness, and the proportion of people who are prone to mental illness is still the same as in the past, but you know more.

The pressure of survival in modern society has changed, and life has become difficult! Sub-health increases! So the more depressed people get up!

I think it's because of the social environment.

That's right, I'm the first one to send it to you!!

The contradictory movement of the economic base and the superstructure.

The superstructure is built to meet the needs of the economic base, but the superstructure cannot absolutely meet the needs of the economic base.

Within the same society, the contradiction between the economic base and the superstructure is in a state of quantitative change. This contradiction requires the superstructure to constantly adjust to the needs of the economic base.

When a certain social form is decaying, it is necessary to change the economic base. At this point, the superstructure will come into sharp confrontation with the demands for change in the economic base. In this case, this contradiction can only be resolved by fundamentally changing the superstructure.

The contradiction between the economic base and the superstructure is constantly generated and resolved, promoting the development of human society.

5) The importance of grasping the law that the superstructure must be suitable for the development of the economic base.

It can help us fully understand the dynamics and laws of social development. The law that the relations of production must be suited to the state of development of the productive forces and the law that the superstructure must be suited to the state of development of the economic base are inseparable. Only by further grasping the law that the superstructure must be suited to the development of the economic base can we truly grasp the law that the relations of production must be suited to the development of the productive forces, and thus comprehensively grasp the motive force and law of social development.

It is another basic basis for the proletarian political party to formulate its line, principles, and policies, and is also the basic basis for us to further reform the socialist economic foundation and superstructure in order to promote the development of the productive forces.

The reaction of the superstructure to the economic base is achieved by serving the economic base. 1. Reflected in the direction of service. On the one hand, it actively uses political force, legal means, and ideological influence to help the formation, consolidation, and development of its own economic foundation. On the other hand, it has adopted all means to fight against those social forces and ideologies that are harmful to its own economic base, to sweep away the remnants of the old superstructure, to transform the old economic base, and to form, consolidate, and open the way for its own economic base.

2. It is reflected in the way of service. The superstructure serves the economic base in this way through control over social life. Again, it is reflected in the effect of the service.

The superstructure serves the economic base, and there are two situations in terms of effect: one is the facilitating effect and the other is the hindrance effect.

The reaction of the superstructure to the economic base adopts two ways: "coercive" and "non-coercive". The superstructure, through the apparatus of state violence and the political and legal system, controls people's behavior within a certain social order. At the same time, the non-coercive means of education and propaganda are used to instill the will and ideas of the ruling class into the masses of society, to dominate and influence people's behavior, and to maintain and consolidate their own economic foundation.

This view is one-sided.

Reason: <1>The development of human society has always been accompanied by two major contradictions, namely, the contradiction between the productive forces and the relations of production, and the contradiction between the economic base and the superstructure.

The basic law of the development of human society is that the relations of production must be suited to the law of the state of the productive forces, and the superstructure must be suited to the law of the state of the economic base, which is a universal law that plays a role in any society.

2>.The dialectical relationship between the economic base and the superstructure tells us that the economic base determines the superstructure; The superstructure plays a counter-role to the economic base, and when the superstructure is suitable for the development of the economic base, it plays a role in promoting the development of productive forces and social progress;

When the superstructure has decayed and decayed and serves the backward economic base, it will hinder the development of the productive forces and the progress of society.

3>.The superstructure can promote social progress only if it serves the advanced economic base. So the point of view of the topic is one-sided.

It's all something I've typed out little by little, and if it's too long, you can shorten it yourself a little bit, and the focus is on the second and third points

The wrong superstructure only plays an active role in social progress, and it is the social relations of production that really affect social progress.

Yes, the relationship between the superstructure and the economic base is the relationship between the relations of production and the productive forces, and the relationship between social consciousness and social existence. So I think you know why you have to serve it, right?

The more revealing a woman dresses, the more open she is.

It does not represent social progress!!

No, it's a sign that people are becoming less and less ashamed.

The manifestation of social progress is not a few square centimeters of cloth on the woman's body.

The measure of social progress is the productivity level of development.

Reason: The development of productive forces is the only criterion for the development and progress of human society, and the three concepts of politics, science, and culture are all superstructures, and the productive forces are the basis of the economy and determine the superstructure.
