And the second Michelangelo is also a famous artist at home and abroad. Oh, no, it's Michelangelo Buonarroti, who is equally famous at home and abroad. Because he wouldn't want us to treat him as an artist, he would rather sacrifice everything for the glory of a noble family. Working in constant excitement, even the pain didn't stop him until the day before the old man died. Perhaps it was this morbid demand that made him accomplish what others could not, but he also had regrets. He lived in hatred and pain all his life and had no wife and children. In this way, after seeing the waste of his life, he swallowed his last breath, but it was still "painful praise" ...
Finally, Tolstoy, a hero with the spirit of fraternity, was loved by almost everyone for a time. He has a good family background and looks perfect. But his ugly appearance made him torture himself all his life. He had wealth, honor and status for a long time, but he kept dissecting himself and repenting like a crazy believer. His wife, children, friends and enemies can't understand, comfort and help him. Finally, he had to run away from home on a cold winter night and die like a beggar on the side of the road.
In this way, three characters with different styles but striking similarities are deeply imprinted in my mind. Everyone is fair.
So let's not underestimate the happiness in front of us, just like this, steady and ordinary, and keep going. ...

If water is good, water is good for everything, which means that water is selfless and humble. Modesty is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Recently, I read a short story about two little boys arguing about who should eat the bigger half of the cake, so they went to their father. Father had no choice but to let them flip a coin, choose the loser and cut the winner, so they got a cake of the same size.
When people praised their father's good methods, they actually seemed to feel a little sad about the behavior of those two little boys! Can't you see their humility for fair rights?
Fairness is important, but we can't ignore the traditional virtues of our nation.
Maybe this society has changed us. Kong Rong let everyone know the story of pear at the age of four, but he never thought it was unfair to himself!
As the saying goes, "Take a step back and broaden the horizon"!
In the ancient imperial system of China, hereditary system preceded abdication system. When Emperor Yao was emperor, he loved the people as a son, treated the people's closest relatives as if they were his own affairs, and the country was governed very peacefully. But time waits for no one, and people will get old eventually. When Yao Di was powerless, someone wanted to take his place. Some people think that Yao's son can shoulder the heavy responsibility, but Yao obviously knows that his son can't do anything, so he turned his attention to the talented Shun and gave up his position to Shun. Shun also lived up to expectations, and the people lived and worked in peace. Emperor Yao was self-effacing. He gave way to his son not for the benefit of his family, but for the sake of the world. Yao Di's modesty is broad and lofty.
When I came to the streets of Korea, the traffic was busy, but it was not chaotic at all. When a car meets someone, the owner will be humble and let them go first. When the cars meet, they are respectful and orderly. Why can the traffic in Korea be so harmonious and stable? The answer is humility.
Look at our society today, just for some trivial things, you won't let me, I won't let you, you blush and look at each other, just for the so-called "fairness." But I never thought that when we fought for that little right, the beauty of our country had been discarded. .......
Indeed, the virtue of humility cannot guarantee fairness, which needs legal system to regulate.
Even so, modesty is not out of date. Modesty can be a kind of beautiful morality, which plays an inestimable role in building a harmonious society at present. It will not change with the development of the times. No matter how the times develop, virtue is "virtue", which will not be abandoned by the times and will only exude new charm.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" comes from The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan, which is one of the classic quips of Confucius and the essence of Confucian culture. This sentence does not seem to be reflected in our world today, and it is difficult to treat it equally. Here is an interesting story about lev tolstoy accepting "tea money" as an ordinary person. On one occasion, during a long trip, lev tolstoy stopped in the waiting room of a third-class car in a small railway station and suddenly heard someone calling him: "Old man! Old man! " A lady leaned out of the window and shouted to him, "Go to the ladies' room and get my handbag. I left it there." Lev tolstoy hurried there, but fortunately her handbag was still there. Thank you! The lady said, "Here, here's a tip for you." So he handed him a big copper coin of five kopecks. Lev tolstoy leisurely put it in his pocket. Do you know who you gave the money to? A fellow traveler asked the lady. He recognized this travel-stained traveler as the author of the famous War and Peace. He is Lev nikolayevich lev tolstoy! Hearing this, the lady exclaimed, "Oh, my God! What have I done? Leo nikolayevich, Leo nikolayevich! For God's sake, forgive me and please give me back that copper coin! I'm sorry to give it to you. " "You don't have to feel uneasy." Lev tolstoy replied, "You didn't do anything wrong. I earned these five kopecks, so I accepted them. "When the train started, lev tolstoy smiled and watched the train drift away, and left with the uneasy lady.
Ok, Tuo Weng! In a hierarchical society, only the "master" is qualified to "reward" the servant. On the contrary, it is a great violation of the Tao and a great insult to the "master." No wonder this lady is complaining and afraid. As a noble, a great writer and a great celebrity, Tuo Weng naturally accepted a reward paid by others as an ordinary person (although he never lacked these five gabions), without any affectation and affectation. Here, Tuo Weng gave up the external aura and revealed the true colors of a frank, simple and lovely "old man". I think, in Tuo Weng's subconscious, it is natural for a person to do something for others or get a reward from others, which has nothing to do with fame, status or money.
Lev tolstoy made such a lovely move without thinking. What is hidden behind is actually the most precious and rare equal mentality! With this mentality, being in a high position will not always pose a proud gesture of charity; With this mentality, there is no trace of the beggar's poor face in his humble position. However, this kind of equal mentality is said to be equal but extraordinary. It is a great realm of peace of mind and peace of mind achieved by life practice. It is a deep sea, which can accommodate the broad mind of the hurricane and the noble sentiment of being indifferent to fame and fortune.
"Unequal" people must have an equal heart to do equal things. Don't we advocate dignity? Actually, the core of dignity is equality.
