Mencius said: "The heart of shame and evil is also the end of righteousness", and "shameless evil is inhuman". Indeed, if a person lacks the heart of shame and evil, his perception of beauty and ugliness will become numb, and his words and deeds will inevitably go out of line. As a philosopher said, "Shame is an important moral emotion", "It is a spiritual force to fight for goodness" and "It is a powerful antidote to despicable things, and it is the pillar of moral emotion with a sense of obligation and responsibility".
Shame and evil bring people strong will. The protagonist in the movie Huo Yuanjia is a typical example. When Huo Yuanjia, a full face of childishness, was knocked down by a punch in the ring, he felt a great shame. He swore, "I am Huo Yuanjia, and I must be the first in Tianjin"! Next, Huo Yuanjia completely turned into a strong man. After countless cruel self-training, he finally stood in the ring as a winner. It was the sense of shame that made him stand up again and wrote his brilliant life with strong will.
Shame and evil give people the motivation to struggle. Jackie Chan, a fledgling actor, was despised by a famous actress. Jackie Chan held back her tears and bowed to her, thanking her for her cooperation. Thirty years later, the actress has long been lost in the long river of history, but Jackie Chan is the only China person who left her fingerprints and footprints on the Avenue of Stars. When Jackie Chan talked about his road to success, he unexpectedly expressed his gratitude to those who once despised him. Because contempt activated his fighting spirit and gave him the motivation to struggle. This kind of motivation from shame is naturally unstoppable.
Shame and evil bring people integrity. Ji Hongchang, a famous general in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, was once appointed by the Kuomintang to attend a meeting abroad. When staying in a hotel, the waiter pretended to be surprised and said, "China? Never heard of it! " Then he smiled, and a foreign officer who went with him said, "Why don't you just say you are Japanese?" Ji Hongchang was furious and shouted at the officer, "I'm from China, don't you know?" Then I found a re, wrote the words "I'm from China" on it in English and stuck it on my chest. It was that shameful and evil heart that made him unwilling to bow, and he defended national dignity with integrity.
Shame is so important, but many people don't know it in real life. Some people are shameless, turning public affairs into private interests and enriching themselves; Some people deceive their superiors and delude their subordinates, falsely reporting their achievements, and have no shame; Some are law enforcement officers, but they are doing illegal things. At that time, they were not ashamed, but proud. Such people are shameless.
Knowing shame and evil is easy to live, but forgetting honor and disgrace is difficult to grow up. It is urgent to build a modern civilized society. I sincerely hope that everyone is a person with conscience and shame, and can always guide themselves on the right track of life with the concept of "eight honors and eight shames". Let the heart of shame and evil recover, that is, let purity and nobility return!
