So, what is honesty? The so-called "righteousness" means correctness, justice and integrity, that is, impartiality, hypocrisy and frivolity, that is, aboveboard. Just looking at the neat writing of "Zheng" in Chinese expresses our ancestors' awareness and judgment of "Zheng". The so-called "straightness" means being open-minded, frank and true, that is, going straight, not beating around the bush and not going with the flow. Honesty is an overlapping word in Chinese, which expresses the same meaning, but from the perspective of character generation and practice, there is a logical relationship between the two. Only "right" can be "straight", and only right people are not afraid of evil; There is no right and fair straightforwardness, but it can only be called frankness, straightforwardness and stupidity.
Be honest. In the course of thousands of years of human civilization and history, our sages have accumulated many wise sayings in talking about being a man, which set an example for us to be a man. Confucius said, "an upright man is open and poised, I am always worried." . Shakespeare said, "There is no richer legacy than integrity". Pope said, "An upright man is a good work created by God". Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty was called a mirror of himself by the king because of his sincere advice when most people are least heeded. Peng, the founding marshal, is not afraid of fame and fortune, dares to write a thousand words and is not afraid of difficulties and dangers. Party member Zhang Zhixin decided to believe that he would rather die than surrender. Li Siguang, a scientist, refused to accept the conclusion, and just found the anniversary oil field above 40 degrees north latitude, which made great contributions to the construction of new China. Therefore, being an upright person is not only the need of personal development, but also the call of social progress.
Integrity is only a theory, and being an honest person is the goal. How can I be honest? According to the ideological and moral requirements of contemporary society and the requirements of human development, we should do the following three things: First, we should have an honest and kind heart and frank personality. An honest and kind heart is to be kind to others and everything, and to have a conscience. This includes the heart of serving others and contributing to society, that is, establishing the life values of serving the people. The second is to have a scientific spirit and adhere to the truth. The so-called scientific spirit is to treat people and things with dialectical materialism, not to change the clouds, not to stick to the rules, and to abide by the laws of the existence and development of things. Only in this way can we hold the truth in our own hands. Honesty, science and truth are real honesty and noble moral quality. The third is to be brave in practicing honesty. Mr. Guo Moruo once said: "The road to justice is rugged, and he only welcomes brave people." Sophocles said, "It takes a long time for an upright person to see". Therefore, if we choose to be an upright person, in a sense, we choose courage and sacrifice, selflessness and selflessness.
It is precisely because of the lack of honesty in current social life that we feel that honesty is more important and precious, and we need to build socialist spiritual civilization with great fanfare. As a middle school student, we should shoulder the heavy responsibility of building socialist spiritual civilization, shape ourselves with honest morality and spirit, start from me, start from every little thing, and be an honest and capitalized person.
