    "Human nature, good and evil" refers to the relationship between people within society. First of all, it is clear that "human nature is inherently good" is "the relationship between people", and there is no way to talk about good and evil between people and wolves, people and mosquitoes, otherwise it is a paradox, for example, if people treat mosquitoes well, they will hurt their friends and other people around them, which cannot be called "good". "Goodness" is to stand in one's own perspective to protect the interests of the same kind or the whole of the same kind.

    In many cases, people would rather see outsiders as good than tolerate the people around them being better than themselves. When you meet people who are good to outsiders or far more than yourself, you will envy, worship, and pat yourself on the back, and when you meet people around you who are good, people who are a little better than yourself will be extremely hateful and bad. Regarding the interpretation of human nature, our ancestors were divided into two teams, for example, Confucianism headed by Confucius, which talks about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and the way of a gentleman is to let people abide by etiquette, abide by the rules, and accept the fate of their own circles, emphasizing order, and reincarnation is an art.

    Legalist thought talks about free fighting, and the representative figures are Han Feizi and Shang Ying. Han Feizi said this about human nature, as long as there is a relationship of interests, the alienated people can get together, and if you give it up, others have to get the real morality for you, just hope that others will be moral to you, but you can't give the other party any benefits, it is great, so the rules of this world are divided into two kinds, one is the rules on the table, fairness and justice, moral etiquette, and the other is the rules under the table, the struggle of interests hidden behind.

    A person's perception is different, and the rules of belief are naturally different. As for smart people, they generally use the first set of rules to confuse the outside world, and use the second set of rules to fight for benefits. We can't look at what a person is saying, but at what the person is doing.

    The first set of rules is a façade, and you can't use it as a way to make a living and make a name for yourself. If you want to see through everyone's behavior, you must combine the analysis with the second set of rules, which is the interest analysis method.

    Profit is the logical force that governs the operation of human beings. Analytical methods never fail. Every time we encounter a thing, we must quickly cut it into different interests, whose interests are harmed by your every word and deed, whose interests are increased, the person who increases the interests is your friend, and the person who loses the interests is your enemy.

    Interests are transformed, and your enemies and friends change quickly.

    Human nature is inherently good. People are kind at the moment they are born, but the environment in which they grew up changed the original kindness.

    I believe that the most fundamental thing in human nature is selfishness, not inherently good or inherently evil. Human nature is to think about themselves, and the greater the interests, the more they will think about themselves.

    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 only 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 pointing fingers to hurt, 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, and when people are just born, they have not been exposed to some things in this society, and they will feel that all people are gentle and kind, so their behavior will definitely be very good.

    Human nature is inherently good, because people are born as a blank sheet of paper, they have not been polluted in any way, and they also have a good wish for this world.

    Human nature is still kind, because Kong Rong knew to make pears when he was so young, so we should still think that human nature is kind.

    Good and evil are related to free cause and effect, and there is no such thing as good or evil that must cause and effect. Freedom is of course inherently altruistic as a creator, that is, freedom is intrinsically good, that is, freedom of conscience.

Zhang Juhan's life can actually be summed up by the word "legend", he was originally a eunuch who did not have much real power, but he could save the lives of thousands of people with a single word, so this was also a manifestation of the goodness of human nature at that time. In fact, he also experienced a lot at the beginning, and because of the chance to meet the king he has been serving. Originally, Zhang Juhan was going to be dealt with because of the eunuch's rebellion at that time, but with the help of his friend Liu Rengong, who had a great emotional foundation with him, he slowly achieved today's position, which actually confirmed the theory of "good people have good rewards". >>>More
