Human nature is the nature that human beings have to possess in order to maintain their own stability.
The predecessors' discussion of human nature is positive and in-depth, and often stays at the level of good and evil. Therefore, around the good and evil of human nature, there are generally four views: human nature is good; Inherent shortcomings; There is no distinction between good and evil in sex; There are good and evil in sex.
It seems that people who support the theory of "no good and no evil" have gradually become the mainstream. There is a cloud in the confession: "There is no difference between good and bad human nature, and there is also a difference between water and things." Wang Yangming has a saying: "There is no good disgusting body, only good malicious actions. Knowing good and evil is a conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is a matter. "
This is the fact: life is born with an open mind, just like animals, there is no distinction between good and evil. For example, insects are harmless: beneficial to people, beneficial; Bad for people is bad. -The goodness, evil, beauty and ugliness of things are really illusions in people's minds.
People with stuffy noses are fragrant and smelly; Color-blind people only see black and white: if things are characterized by their nature, they will not change with people; If it changes with people, it is not natural.
They are all the same; It's different. It's different. Similar, there is no difference in size; With wealth, there is no distinction between rich and poor; Same sex, there is no distinction between good and evil.
If we think more deeply and understand the integration of good and evil, many puzzles in the world and life will disappear. There are days and nights, sunny and rainy, and things will not be born; If there are men and women, there will be no decline, and everything will be extinct-only the harmony of yin and harmony will last for a long time. If there was no distinction between good and evil in human nature from beginning to end, human beings would have been extinct long ago-only one virtue is the best destination of life.
Human nature can be roughly divided into two categories: human nature that can be divided into good and evil; Humanity without distinction between good and evil. With the passage of time, the former is gradually divided into good and evil; The latter either gradually loses (such as Moro reflex) or remains unchanged for life (such as thirsty for water and hungry for food). Of course, there are exceptions to everything; Even a lifelong humanity may be temporarily suppressed or even lost forever because of physical and mental illness.
Human nature, which can be divided into good and evil, can be further divided into: separation of good and evil; Combination of good and evil. The former is the idea of good or evil that the heart first presents to the outside world; The latter is the thought of good and evil that the heart finally presents to the outside world.
No matter how evil people are, there are good thoughts in their hearts; No matter how good a person is, he has evil thoughts in his heart. The two thoughts of good and evil are intertwined in the heart, incompatible with each other and contending with each other, but they can be offset: if there are more good and fewer evil, the good will be revealed; If evil is greater than good, then evil will be revealed. The better people are, the better the combination of good and evil; The more evil people are, the worse the combination of good and evil is.
Whether in the process of growing up or when we perceive the outside world, the separation of good and evil appears later than that of human beings who do not distinguish between good and evil, but earlier than the combination of good and evil. In the final analysis, it is the transitional state of the latter two. Therefore, the more naive the mind is, the easier it is to reflect the human nature of not distinguishing good from evil; The more mature, the easier it is to show the combination of good and evil.
On this basis, it is not difficult to understand why there are "id", "ego" and "superego" in psychology.
It is precisely because there is no distinction between good and evil in human nature, just like plain silk, there is a distinction between good and evil gradually, so "If you dye it in the sky, it will be pale, and if you dye it in the yellow, it will be yellow"-"If you dye it, you should not be careless" (Mozi). This is similar to what Confucius said: "Sex is similar, learning is far away."
The differentiation of human nature, in the early days, depends on the influence of the environment; When the mind is mature, it is influenced by itself and the environment. If people grow up in exactly the same environment, their personalities will not be different. Even identical twins, there are subtle differences in their environment-which is enough to induce differences in their personalities.
There is a cloud in "Caigen Tan": "If you are uncertain, you will get rid of the hubbub, so that your heart will not be chaotic and you will not see what you want, so that I can be quiet; Exercise is firm, mixed with dust, so that this heart can see what it wants without confusion, so as to support my circular machine. " There is another cloud: "Static in the middle is not really static, but static in the moving place is the true state of sex." Happiness is not real happiness, happiness comes from suffering, so you can see the real opportunity of body and mind. "
Therefore, the mind is uncertain, we must guard the doors and windows, refuse evil and do good, and wait and see; If your mind is a little stronger, you should gradually accept small evils and reject big ones; If the external evil is not enough to be chaotic, it can be mixed in the dust, take peace in sports and have fun in pain.
Don't be extravagant at home, especially avoid being too frugal; Managing the family should not be lenient, especially not too strict. (used in "aphorisms". ) Educate children, when combining leniency with severity: too wide is chaotic; If you are too strict, you will lose your authenticity. The more chaotic the environment, the more attention should be paid to gradually correcting your heart and letting go; The better the life, the more attention should be paid to helping the poor and the rich.
In the bitter fleabane bitter fleabane, don't help yourself straight; White sand is nirvana, and it is black. If you want people to be good, you must be good first-if you can't be good, how can you be good?
