    Human beings should have no good or evil nature at the beginning. When people are just born, they only have some instincts, and this instinct is to keep themselves alive, and it cannot be said whether this instinct is good or evil. What is good, and being beneficial to others is good; What is evil, harming others and benefiting oneself is evil.

    A person's good or evil is completely cultivated by the influence of the acquired environment on a person's conduct.

    If you're talking about goodness, then I can tell you. Yes and no.

    To put it simply, all good and evil are for a better survival.

    The question of human nature has been discussed for thousands of years, and the jury has never been reached.

    Wang Dayou put forward such an assertion, which can be used as a reference: "mercy inside and outside". If you look at it in terms of humanity, it is called: "Heaven is retrograde, humanity is retrograde." Everyone has the nature of compassion and disability, and the key is to develop and cultivate the problem. Is it to make it bigger on the inside or more on the outside.

    The inner great can love all "sentient beings", and the outer great can have no inner and even mutilate themselves.

    The landlord, what needs to be reflected on is: how to cultivate the day after tomorrow, how to teach the ...... by word and deed

    For the vast and eternal universe, human beings are not even garbage, human beings only live for themselves, and when we say that we protect the environment, we only protect the environment suitable for their own survival. The development of science and the breakthrough of the theory of evolution have made it more and more clear to human beings about their place - a product of nature. It is not for you to decide that you came into this world, not even when you left this world.

    Human beings are insignificant, at best an insignificant part of the metabolic process of the universe. Is there a difference between the meaning of large sesame seeds and the meaning of large grains of rice? It's not pessimism, it's the way it is.

    But on the other hand, the other parts of the world are just as ordinary, and people are still the spirits of all things, and you must not like to hear that you are "not as good as pigs and dogs", which is enough to make human beings proud. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, at least on the earth, human beings are the overlords of the wind and rain.

    Personally, I am an admirer of the inherent evil of human nature.

    Landlord: Think about it, if it's really human nature, why do good things need to be taught, but bad things don't need to be taught?

    At the beginning of human beings, there was no concept of good and evil, only the same desire for advantage and avoidance of harm as other animals and plants.

    You have just been born into a natural life, and through some character and virtue you have been able to sublimate it into a meaningful life. Or, there is evil to be done in heaven, but there is no life for man to do evil....

    What is the earliest surname in China?

    Everyone will talk about it according to the surname.

    However, from a sentence of Confucius, "At the beginning of man, nature is good".

    Therefore, in fact, the earliest surname in China is the surname "Shan".

    There are many kind-hearted people, and there are many kind people.

    We believe that human nature is inherently good.

    Human nature is inherently good, that is, it advocates that the root point of human nature is good, and only when there is goodness can there be good deeds and compassion. We say that human nature is inherently good, but the day after tomorrow, it is an act to restore one's good nature, strengthen one's self-cultivation, and remove the acquired blindness.

    First of all, we will talk about the category of human nature and goodness, "human nature is good" is "the relationship between people", and secondly, "human nature is good" refers to the relationship between people within society.

    Human nature refers to the nature of human beings, and human nature is an extremely stable instinct in a person's life, which cannot be violated, and once people violate this instinct, it is a serious injury to themselves. Human nature is good, because people will always avoid harm, and when people hurt others, they are easy to hurt themselves.

    In the face of multiple choices, you will choose the best choice for yourself, people will always pursue excellence, this pursuit, stop at the best, because people will instinctively avoid harm, so trying to reduce the harm between people must be the pursuit of people, this is the logic of human nature.

    Good is a force of acceptance, and evil is a force of rejection. The formation of human society itself shows that human nature is inherently good, because people can only condense into society if they treat each other well, otherwise people will continue to leave society, and the scale of society will continue to expand because of the inherent goodness of human nature, and if there is an evil side in human nature, the scale of society will not expand.

    Confucianism (referring to classical Confucianism, mainly including the Analects, Mencius, and the Mean) view of human nature is "the theory of human nature being good". Mencius also believed that human nature is inherently good, so he further added that everyone has compassion. And the Buddhists say:

    One mind loses one's true body, and one mind is a Buddha. It is precisely because of the inherent goodness of human nature that people put down the butcher's knife anytime and anywhere and become a Buddha on the spot. We advocate that human nature is inherently good, and that the root of human nature is good, and only with good roots can there be good deeds.

    Whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil has been a topic of debate for thousands of years. But recently scientists have helped people find out. According to the Associated Press, in one experiment, a clothes clip in the scientist's hand fell to the ground, and he didn't have to worry because a child who had just learned to walk would go over to help him pick it up and give it back to him.

    This simple experiment illustrates that children as young as 18 months old also have the selfless quality and ability to help others, which fully illustrates that human nature is inherently good.

    We do not deny that there are evil deeds in human society, but evil deeds are caused by the external environment, so evil is the effect and not the cause.

    Can true morality be produced in the world? On the bus, we can often see young people consciously give up their seats for the elderly, pregnant women, and children. Therefore, it is precisely because of the inherent goodness of human nature that the world has produced true morality!

    This proves that evil is an effect, not a cause, and that evil is caused by external circumstances.

    Therefore, we firmly believe that human nature is inherently good.

    Human nature is inherently good. In life, sometimes there are good things and sometimes bad things are done. When you do good things, help others, and give back to the society, you will feel very comfortable and calm. It's peaceful, and there's a sense of happiness from the bottom of my heart.

    When you do something bad, that is, the so-called evil thing, you will feel uneasy and upset, and this is why you have the saying that you are a thief. Judging from these feelings, the feeling of doing good deeds is exactly in line with the inherent goodness of human nature, so I feel happy and calm. If you do something bad, you will be contrary to your own heart.

    That's why I feel uneasy and afraid.

    It would be a mistake to understand that "human nature is the best good" to mean omnipotence and always right. Just as water is good for all things, a drop of water cannot irrigate a farmland, or even quench a thirst. Perfection is only a precious seed given by God.

    Mencius said that those who have four ends in me should be expanded and filled. This is the care and cultivation of goodness. At the beginning of human beings, the nature of perfection is nothing more than to cry when they are hungry and smile at their parents when they are full.

    When you grow up, you can be filial to your parents, faithful to your friends, and benefit society. This is all the result of the germination and growth of goodness. If we do not know how to water the seed of goodness, and let the influence of selfish desires and unfavorable factors in the environment, many evils will breed.

    Therefore, "human nature is inherently good" means that the ontology of human nature is supremely good, and does not mean that everything you do is supremely good. For ordinary people, the way to maintain the supreme good nature is to exercise self-denial and propriety, so that the conscience can be applied to everything and everything.

    Westerners believe that human nature is evil, and Chinese believe that human nature is good. How to view human nature is a major issue that many philosophers and thinkers at home and abroad have paid attention to, and thus two camps have been formed, both the East and the West.

    Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil, and Confucius said that human nature can be good or evil. The physicist said that Mencius was right, Xunzi was right, and the confession gave us a wake-up call. Therefore, we should always pay attention to our hearts, and we must destroy people's desires with heavenly principles.

    Stories such as "Zhu Zhe Chi, Ink Nearer Sui Pai Hei", "Meng Mu Three Migrations" and other stories well prove such a point of view - human nature is innate, but the environment has a great influence on people's character. Imagine what kind of ending and fate the same person and different environments will eventually shape it into.

    As we continue to grow older, our life experience will become richer, in the process of getting along with the people around us, we will gradually realize that human nature is complex, multifaceted, and fickle, many people around us often have their own unknown side, but in the process of getting along with the people around us, we should not be too anxious, many times we should still believe that most people are kind, and human nature can stand the test.

    The most impressive thing for me should be when I stepped into the first job I found in the workplace after graduating from college, they all said that the workplace is like a battlefield, and it is difficult to have a real friendship with colleagues in the workplace, so when I get this job, I will keep a moderate distance and don't want to get too close to my colleagues, because I clearly know that there is a certain competition and conflict of interest between me and these colleagues. It is very likely that this will cause conflicts in the future, and the best way to avoid this problem is to keep a comfortable distance from each other in their daily work.

    But the appearance of an incident, completely changed my view, one day our boss asked me to take the lead in dealing with a particularly important copywriting, but the copywriting planning materials were about to be submitted when it was actually damaged by my child, in this case I was particularly anxious, I don't know how to solve it, but I didn't expect my colleagues to take the initiative to work overtime to help me solve this problem when they learned about this situation, this moment made me particularly moved, At the same time, it also made me feel a trace of guilt and self-blame in my heart, in the process of getting along with them, I did have some villains in the past, but in fact, human nature can still stand the test.

I think that people are born without self-consciousness, from a natural point of view, there is no good and evil in human nature, because the word good and evil is the product of consciousness, when children begin to have memories at the age of two to four, from the perspective of social cognition, the lack of cognitive innocence can be said to be good, and the lack of constraints can also be said to be evil (such as mutilating ants for fun), good and evil are not absolute, everything is complex and two-sided.

Although a sentence in the "Three Character Classic" is "at the beginning of man, nature is good", but I think that after people are born, they don't care about good or evil, and there is no specific concept, it should belong to the type of no good and no evil, but in the later stage, what kind of environment will the child be placed in, and how others will influence him, will form the concept of whether he is good or evil. >>>More
