Confucius said, "Living with good people is like entering Lan Zhi's room. If you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, you will blend with it. " Living with poor people is like entering the place of abalone. If you haven't heard of it for a long time, you will melt with it. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious. "It means getting along with good people will get better, and getting along with bad people will get worse. Warn people to be cautious in making friends. In real life, many people have been dragged down by making irresponsible friends, or have been rehabilitated with the selfless help of good friends. In view of the old adage and practical experience, we must choose the people we get along with carefully.
However, not all people close to Zhu will be red, and all people close to Mo will be black. Because "near ink" and "near Zhu" are only external causes, and external causes always work through internal causes. Therefore, whether the pro-Zhu will be red or not, and whether the pro-ink will be black depends entirely on their own ideology. Under one condition, "pro-black" is true. Under another condition, it is also possible that "pro-Zhu is not red and pro-ink is not black".
In ancient times, there were also examples where people who were close to ink were not black. Tao Yuanming, an idyllic poet, was in the dark officialdom at that time. He didn't want human dust and dirt, so he was muddy but not dirty. Harry, who is upright and upright, dares to declare war on evil forces and hangs a sky high in the dark society. They are all tasks of "getting out of the mud without dyeing". Although Tao Yuanming died passively and Harry's blue sky seemed weak, at least they were able to maintain noble moral integrity in the dark society, which was really commendable.
In modern times, the phrase "those who are close to ink are black" has become more and more biased. If there are still some shortcomings in Tao Yuanming's adherence to ethics, then Lu Xun comes from an out-and-out old family: he hates the familiar class, and then realizes that "only the emerging proletarians have a future", so he retaliates and attacks the class that originally belonged to him and struggles to transform the old class into the old society. From Lu Xun, we not only can't see the shadow of "those who are close to ink are black", on the contrary, we see a great fighter who has been transformed.
Today, many people who are loyal to the people's cause are not afraid to "go near Mexico". They take the initiative to lend a helping hand to those who make mistakes, patiently educate them, care for them and help them, so that those who have been involved in Mexico can realize their mistakes and become good citizens of the country again. "Black" has become "red", and the quality of "near ink" is more noble and sincere.
It can be seen that pro-Zhu is not necessarily red, pro-ink is not necessarily black, which is also a social phenomenon that can not be ignored.
As advanced young people, we should be brave enough to approach Mohism without being influenced by it. The key lies in whether there is a correct starting point and foothold, and we must associate with Mohism in order to help them. We must believe that through unremitting and dismissive efforts, "red" will definitely defeat "black"; The correct foothold is to stand firm and not be influenced by Mohist bad habits. In this way, we can "get out of the mud without dyeing."
Under the situation of reform and innovation, we should critically inherit the traditional ideas. Yes, it's easy to get the moon, so we should choose our friends carefully. However, the complicated and diverse social life requires us to take active measures instead of passive prevention. On the one hand, we should not look on coldly and stay away from them, but should lend them a helping hand and turn ink into red; On the other hand, people who are closely related to Zhu Can will not give up ideological transformation because of their own superior conditions.
