Borrow a compassion from Mencius. On March 0 1 13: 46 Beijing time, an earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale occurred in the sea area east of Miyagi Prefecture in the northeast of Honshu Island, Japan, which triggered a tsunami. Most people in China show great sympathy for the Japanese disaster. Due to historical reasons, strange voices are also circulating on the Internet and other media, among which there are many people who gloat. Lincoln said: "If a nation is full of hatred or worship for another nation, it is doomed to be a cowardly nation." We can't forget history, but we can choose to hate lightly. Do as you would be done by. We were once shrouded in the haze of Tangshan earthquake, and we were deeply saddened by the victims of Wenchuan earthquake. There is a passage in "Mencius Ugly": "So those who say that everyone can't bear the hearts of others, at first sight, beggars enter the well today, all have compassion; If you don't make friends with obedient parents, you will be praised by hardworking villagers. If you don't hate their voices, you will naturally do so. From its point of view, a heart without compassion is inhuman, a heart without shame is inhuman, a heart without resignation is inhuman, and a heart without right and wrong is inhuman. Compassion is the purpose of benevolence; The heart of shame and evil, the end of righteousness; The words of the heart are the end of the ceremony; The heart of right and wrong is also the end of wisdom. "Mencius' unbearable heart refers to our compassion and compassion, and' fear' refers to panic and fear. Mencius explained that some people now feel terrified when they see a child fall into a well, and feel sympathy and pity. This is not because I want to establish a personal relationship with my children's parents, nor because I want to be praised by my neighbors and friends, nor because I can't stand the crying of my children. This is determined by the good nature of human nature. Compassion is the beginning of benevolence; Shame is the beginning of justice; The heart of concession is the beginning of ceremony; The heart of right and wrong is the beginning of wisdom. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom all come from compassion. Compassion is a feeling, that is, sympathy for the suffering of others, which means sympathy, unbearable, sad and sad. Compassion has no national boundaries. Whether Tangshan, Wenchuan or Miyagi, Japan, are telling us that human beings are so fragile in the face of disasters. When countless lives are lost in shouts, our hearts should be * * *. Whether you are Japanese or Japanese, whether you are poor or rich, we can silently pray for them in the face of countless fresh lives, hoping that they will replant beautiful cherry blossoms on the ruins as soon as possible.
