Regarding the good and evil of human nature, we have shared two articles, although the content of such articles must not be as interesting as the 14 psychological effects of reading human nature by users of Jingshi Boren psychological products, but it will definitely make you feel a sense of benefit. Therefore, in the next few articles, we will still share from the perspective of human nature, good and evil.
Cultivate a positive mind: know good and evil, and return to the heart
There are good and evil movements, which means that the heart is motivated, and when the thoughts come together, good and evil begin to originate. When we distinguish between good and evil, we have to think before we start to act, especially before we start thinking about it, and we have to go back to the origin of good and evil to see how this thought came about.
For example, in a meeting, and someone disagrees with your opinion, and you immediately want to fight back, you pause for three seconds to see how the idea of fighting back comes about: Why do I want to fight back?Is it because I'm right?Or do I think the other party is just finding fault and making me very unhappy?Am I really right and why?Is the other party really trying to find fault, why am I so sure?I'm not so sure, so why would I want to fight back?Because I don't want people to see me wrong, I need other people's approval. So will others really approve of you?Possibly. What can I do to be sure that I have the genuine approval of others?The next step is to think about the path to goodness.
We all have a need to want others to recognize us, and that's what everyone understands, there's no such thing as good or bad, good or evil, but our actions to achieve that need can have mixed results.
In the opposite exercise, if someone disagrees with you in a meeting and you decide not to refute it, you pause for three seconds to see how the idea comes from: Why don't I refute it?Is it because he's right?Am I just wrong?But my opinion is justified, so why am I silent?Because I think it's bad to argue with him in a meeting, why is it bad?It's a waste of everyone's time. But isn't it necessary to listen to the views of both sides in a meeting?Yes, but the other party has a higher position than me, and will think that I don't give face, and may give me small shoes to wear. So are you protecting yourself to save the other person's face?Yes. Are you sure this is the best way to protect yourself?The next step is to think about the path to goodness, and the result of thinking may or may not be silent, and this is the consideration of wisdom.
Returning to the process of rational thinking about the needs and motivations themselves is the process of "caring for the mind". The next reflection on the path to realization will open up the growth of wisdom, help us to "reach the conscience", strive to achieve good and evil, and learn from it the experience of practicing good and evil. This is the second half of Mr. Wang Yangming's previous poem: Knowing good and knowing evil leads to conscience, and eliminating evil for good is a thing. On the other hand, if we are not able to do "good care", we will not be able to develop our conscience and gain reason from practice, in other words, we may remain in ignorance and lose our responsibility for good and evil.
Cultivate a positive mind: Talk about "The Distance Between Us and Evil".
In the book "Our Distance from Evil", the author summarizes four kinds of **: **demonic ** for the sake of **;Instrumentality in order to achieve a certain purpose**;In order to achieve some kind of idealistic belief in oneself so-called good;and ignorant evil without reflection on good and evil, also known as banal evil. In the author's opinion, these four ** are the result of no reflection.
We work backwards from our thoughts to fulfill certain needs of ourselves:
Demonic**, the root of which is the need to realize one's own happiness;
Instrumental**, in order to achieve a certain goal, such as wealth, power, or love;
Idealistic ** is to achieve fairness and justice in one's heart or something else;
The evil of ignorance or mediocrity is to hide behind the system or the group, in order to protect oneself or do one's own convenience.
In addition, the author mentions four types of violence:
1) Physical defensive. Violent individuals believe that violence is the only way to prevent the other person from harming themselves or others (for example, in "Young You", Chen Nian pushes the school abuser downstairs, and his need is to protect himself).
2) Frustration type. The individual believes that the victim is trying to hinder their actions, or that the victim may be trying to force him to do something he does not want to do. He believes that only violence can make his wishes come true. The acts of violence he intends to commit include robbery, ** or similar offences. (For example, Wu Xie Yu believes that the existence of his mother hinders his self-realization, and his need is to realize himself).
3) ** type. The individual believes that the victim has malicious intentions and wants to humiliate or ridicule themselves. Violence is a reasonable response to such malice. (For example, Maccabius rebelled against humiliation by killing people, and behind it was a desire to be recognized and respected).
4) Frustration - ** type. This type combines (2) and (3). The individual believes that the victim is trying to hinder or force himself or herself to act in a certain way, and the victim is therefore considered to have malicious intent as a result.
The needs behind the above ** and the types of violence are actually the needs that human beings share, so they are particularly easy to understand, but the process and means of their realization have caused bad results. If we do not have a deep reflection on our own needs and paths, each of us may cause any of the above evils, and the big and small evils depend on each person's different influences.
