There are two principles in my current values that I particularly believe in:
First: Never take anyone for a fool, and a person who treats others for a fool is a fool himself.
Second, never take advantage of others, value exchange is the underlying logic between people.
Human nature is inherently good, or human nature is inherently evil. In fact, the so-called good and evil of human nature depend on your personal strength and strength, and China's thousands of years of history have shown this problem. For the definition and choice of so-called good and evil, many times it is just a decision based on the needs of the living environment.
Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You love to take advantage, are you sure you can really get the bargain you want in the end? Is your little cleverness really smart?
In 2022, I bought two books, "Plain Book" and "Luo Weaving Sutra", and read them repeatedly for a few months to understand two points: never overestimate your own humanity, and never underestimate the humanity of others. People must have the heart of a bodhisattva, and they must also have the means of thunderbolts. No other ears, self-preservation.
In the first month of 2023, due to some reasons, I will go to Guangzhou. By the way, I looked at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and saw four words: the world is for the public. I thought of the book "Suffering and Glory", and then thought of a sentence in the "Tao Te Ching": With its selflessness, it can become its selfishness (the original text is not written like this, this is the meaning of my own understanding).
This time I went back to my hometown for the New Year, and I am still in my hometown for various reasons. Due to some special things, I came into contact with some people from my hometown and villages, and I wrote about my thoughts.
