The holiness of man is not benevolent, and the holy fire of sorrow is water. The holiness of man is not benevolent, and the holy fire of sorrow is water. Gold is benevolent, worry about a glass of water on the fire of the heart, do not hesitate to do so for the water is invincible. This is used for those who are not benevolent, and one will die. This is a sentence from Mencius in the first sentence.

What do you mean? Mencius used the metaphor of a drop in the bucket to illustrate that there are conditions for people to overcome unkindness. Although Mencius had faith in benevolence, righteousness and righteousness, he repeatedly preached to the king the idea that the benevolent are invincible, and that the old and the young and the old should not be young, and that the young of the world can be conceived and grown, and it is vain to have fun with the people. Mencius even believed that the implementation of human witnesses would enable the Zhi court to reach the traitor of Qin and Chu.

Here Mencius objectively analyzed the dialectical relationship between man and imman. He first affirmed that man must overcome the unman, just as water extinguishes a fire. Everyone also sees that there are conditions for water to extinguish fires, and water can be used to extinguish fires, which is the nature of water. But a glass of water cannot extinguish a fire in a cart of wood, because the power of the two is so different. The same man can defeat the inhuman, but there are enough people to defeat the inhuman.

If the strength of the two is very far apart, people are like walls blocking the car for those who are not. People often say that a spark can burn a prairie fire, which does not mean that a spark can burn the vast field in an instant, but from the initial stars to flames, and then develop and spread, and finally form a prairie fire.

These problems are a process of quantitative change causing qualitative change, and the poor are also a process of quantitative change and qualitative change, and it is not a quick plan that comes from day to day, but requires long-term persistence and hard work, and giving up halfway will be a shame.

The Warring States Policy once used a sentence in the Book of Poetry: Those who travel a hundred miles are accompanied by ninety and a hundred miles. If you give up after walking ninety miles, you can only count half of the walk, or even very little. Xunzi also said: A hundred oaths are not enough for good sex, and a thousand miles of ghost steps are not enough for good desires and ethics. The difference between benevolence and righteousness is not enough for aesthetics. This is a sentence in Xunzi's persuasion.

One hundred shots is a thousand miles, and half a step is wisdom, etiquette and righteousness. Benevolence and righteousness cannot be called good for a moment of perseverance, because he has not achieved a breakthrough in wisdom. Mencius believed that human nature is inherently good, so don't take it for granted. People are born in the heart, but they need to be nurtured, expanded and so on, and eliminate the dryness of the external environment, do not take evil as small, do not take good as small, and gradually accumulate strength.

When a person reaches a certain fruit, he will blossom and mature, and only then can he become a truly powerful person. At this time, it can be said that this person can win or not.
