Consciousness, as the name implies, is that you realize and wake up. We often say that so-and-so is conscious and so-and-so is unconscious; In fact, this is the boundary and judgment drawn by people on whether they abide by a recognized good behavior. Those who can consciously and voluntarily abide by good behavior must be full of goodness in their hearts; People who can't consciously and voluntarily abide by good behavior must be indifferent or even unconscious to some beautiful things in their hearts. Their inner world is completely different, but one thing is the same, that is, their behavior is natural. It's just different between good and bad. For example, in public places without any supervision, people with good quality will consciously abide by social ethics, such as not smoking, spitting, making noise and so on. People with poor literacy have no such consciousness, so they will go their own way unconsciously. They act more according to their own good feelings and don't consider so much social morality and public interests. There is only one kind of conscious person. Whenever and wherever, I know that there is a god three feet above my head, and my heart is full of awe for beautiful things. There are two kinds of unconscious people. One is that they don't know how to restrain themselves whenever and wherever they go, and they are unconscious wherever they go. On the other hand, they can only be forced to restrain themselves under supervision. Once there is no supervision, they will act according to their own standards and preferences. This kind of person has two sides. The former has no literacy at all, while the latter lacks literacy; The former is a very small number of people, while the latter is the majority; The former is not worth mentioning, while the latter can be seen everywhere around us. We often wonder why a person's words and deeds are different in different environments. In fact, this is a natural manifestation that people can't consciously abide by goodness. These natural unconsciousness will spread everywhere like weeds without fertilization. These unconscious seeds are selfish. Selfishness is a common problem that human beings cannot get rid of, but excessive selfishness will hinder others and society. How to make people consciously limit their excessive selfishness is probably a problem that human beings can never solve. This problem deserves our deep thought and reflection. "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you." This sentence is almost known to everyone, but it is difficult for everyone to abide by it. From this perspective, it is still a question of whether a person can consciously limit selfishness. If a person can consciously keep the environment in his home clean without any supervision, then his unclean behavior in public places is very problematic; In other words, he changed from conscious at home to unconscious in public places, which is a very selfish behavior, with the change of time and space. Look around us, such selfish people are everywhere, and unconscious people can be seen everywhere. What is particularly disgusting and hateful is those who have received a good higher education and are still unconscious. The bad behavior they unconsciously show is even more despicable and hypocritical in public. Before his death, Liu Bei taught A Dou: "Don't do it with small evils, don't do it with small goodness." We can modify it slightly to: don't care about yourself, don't care about others. The truth of the ancients or the truth of the modern people, in fact, all the truth can only be consciously followed by real gentlemen, and people who are unconscious of their heart and lungs are unreliable. The difference between conscious and unconscious lies in the brightness of the inner world. Conscious people are more open-minded, they are more likely to accept beautiful things and carry them forward, so they are more likely to be inspired by beauty and thus rise to spiritual consciousness.
