Not long ago, there was a blizzard in Hunan, and the highway was closed, and many passengers were stranded in the snow. The two children [sister and brother] provide the passengers with boiling water and glutinous rice cakes, boiling water is free, and the glutinous rice cakes are only sold at the cost price, 2 yuan a piece. The children's mother, Ms. Luo, is a military wife. It was originally a very normal thing, but I didn't expect the child's family to be unexpectedly exposed on the Internet, and some people said that they were hypocrisy and were "selling goodness".
So what exactly is the behavior of Ms. Luo's family? The article gives a clear qualitative characterization.
Ethics defines the good as: if the recipient of the act voluntarily accepts the act, or at least does not reject it; Then the act done by the perpetrator of the act can be called good.
Ms. Luo's family sold glutinous rice cakes to stranded passengers at the original price. (The original price refers to ** without Blizzard road closures, and I didn't consider the cost price for the sake of discussion.) The passenger is the recipient of the act; Ms. Luo's family was the perpetrator of the act. The tourists bought the dumplings voluntarily, and Ms. Luo's family did not force them to buy them. From this it can be concluded that:
Ms. Luo's family's behavior of selling glutinous rice cakes to stranded passengers at the original price is good.
There is no hypocrisy or "selling good".
Noble is a higher level of virtue than goodness.
The encyclopedia's definition of nobility is: behavior that is detached from ordinary tastes, or detached from the inferior nature of human nature, with excellent morals and good sentiments such as simplicity, generosity, bravery, sincerity, and honesty.

Q: If the ** of the glutinous rice cake is 2-5 times the original price, and a traveler buys it, what is the behavior of Ms. Luo's family?
A: According to the above definition of goodness, because the traveler who buys the cake is voluntary, the behavior of Ms. Luo's family is still good.
Question: Ms. Luo's family could have sold the glutinous rice cake at a higher level**, but they didn't, but at the original price**, is this considered to be out of the inferior nature of human nature? Is it out of the ordinary?
A: Yes. Absolutely. The general law of economic operation is that supply exceeds demand, and ** rises. In the case of low supply and demand, maintaining the original price ** is definitely out of the general taste, and it is also out of the inferior roots.
Q: What was the behavior of Ms. Luo's family in selling glutinous rice cakes to stranded passengers at the original price?
Answer: Noble conduct.
In strict accordance with the concept of goodness and nobility, it was concluded that the behavior of Ms. Luo's family was noble.
I think the person who blames it is out of the psychology that others are providing materials for free, so why should Ms. Luo's family charge at the original price?
It has been argued earlier that it is a noble act to sell glutinous rice at the original price. Obviously, giving away glutinous rice cakes for free is a nobler act.
Therefore, the accuser blames: Although Ms. Luo's family is noble, why can't they be more noble?
Apparently the accuser does not know: we cannot demand nobility from others, let alone from others. Nobility comes from one's own moral consciousness.
Encyclopedia defines moral kidnapping as a phenomenon in which excessively high or even unrealistic standards are used to demand, coerce or attack others and influence their behavior in the name of morality.
Conclusion: Accusing Ms. Luo's family of doing is moral kidnapping.
