Can this slogan be used as our spiritual belief in building an economic power? I doubt it. I don't think this slogan can be used as our spiritual belief in building an economic power.
"Every man for himself, the devil takes the hindmost", you can't do anything for yourself before you are born. When you leave the west, everything you do for yourself will be zero. The economic construction we need cannot be the construction of a person's life. Our economic construction has inherited the development of predecessors and paved the way for the development of future generations. How far can your own development go?
People are different from animals, and individuals are divorced from society. In fact, they are not people in the full sense. Even animals like bees and ants are very gregarious. We all have this experience. When we are alone at home, we always cook a meal for our family. We always fry more vegetables and make more efforts. The slogan "Every man for himself, the devil takes the hindmost" is primitive and backward, which can not inspire the deep-seated strength of the promoters themselves, nor can it inspire everyone's unity.
In today's society, some people still shout "Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost". One reason is that they are too disappointed with society, and another reason is that our society has abandoned him. We say that bees don't shout to the bee society: "Bees don't do it for themselves, and the devil takes the hindmost", because this is the division of labor. Wolves don't shout out "The wolf is not for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost" to the wolf pack society, because wolves cooperate with hunting, and only sheep will shout out the slogan "The sheep is not for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost" to the flock, because sheep can't feel the warmth of the flock society.
Without this belief, society will be more free and equal, social welfare will be better and better, and the realization of democratic system is inevitable. The lofty sense of happiness comes from the continuous improvement of personal ability and contributes more and more to society. We will despise those corrupt moths, we will appreciate and encourage those who are innovative and pioneering, and our society will become stronger and stronger.
Everyone contributes to society and changes our lives, which is the road to cultural progress of a strong country's economy.
