At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mr. Sima Wei, a nice guy.
It was written in ancient times that one day, Mr. Sima Wei, a nice guy, was studying calligraphy and painting at home. When the slave came to report that a fellow villager had come to see him, Sima Wei said happily,' Good'. This fellow villager is Mr. Liu He came in morosely. Sima Yi asked him,' How have you been recently?' . This son of Mr. Liu was arrested by the government for killing someone outside, and was put in death row, waiting for the autumn harvest trial. Mr. Liu heard that Sima Wei is very nice and has many friends. He wants Sima Wei to do something to help save people. So Mr. Liu said to Sima Wei,' My son is unfilial and has broken the king's law'. Sima Wei said,' good' to listen to him. Hearing this, Mr. Liu became unhappy. He suppressed his anger and said,' Now he is on death row and will be asked to be beheaded in autumn. Sima Yi added:' Great'. This member Liu turned away in anger. At this time, Mrs. Sima stood up and said,' Talk about something else. Their son is dying. How can we talk about this? Sima Wei patted his thigh and said,' Oh, madam, you can't speak better.
Sima Yi said, "Wolong and Feng Chu can secure the world."
Another time, someone lost a pig, saying that Sima Wei's pig was the one lost by his family. Sima Wei did not argue and immediately gave the pig to the man. A few days later, the man found the previously lost pig again, so he hurriedly returned the pig of Sima Yi's family and kowtowed to himself. Sima Wei didn't scold him, but thanked him for sending the pig back.
Allusions have become history, and modern society has given the word "good man" a new connotation. Now, on most occasions, good guy is a derogatory term. What is the essential face of a good man?
Good people are tactful and avoid problems.
Generally speaking, a good old man has the following characteristics: First, he is aloof from things, not noisy, witty in handling things, not discriminating between right and wrong, not offending anyone, and likes to have a good atmosphere. Second, the good old man is exquisite in all directions, has no edges and corners, has no principles in front of interests, only seeks peace, turns a blind eye, and minimizes major problems. Third, good old people are good at making relationships, bowing to leaders, flattering others, being close to colleagues and pulling small circles, which are most popular with corrupt officials. Fourth, good people generally work mediocre, do nothing, are good at self-interest, and lack self-motivation and sense of responsibility. Fifth, the good old man is good at observing words and feelings, taking a two-pronged approach and covering up his inner hypocrisy with a smiling face. Good people advocate vulgar relations and safeguard personal interests.
There is a clear difference between a good man and an honest man.
There is a word difference between a good man and an honest man, but there is a world of difference. Honest people are kind-hearted, upright, principled, not greedy for petty advantages, honest with others, not calculating much, and fair and reasonable in dealing with others. Speaking and doing things from reality, one is one and the other is two. This is obviously different from good people.
Society needs good people and refuses to be unprincipled.
In essence, a good old man is not really a good man, but a way for the weak to survive. If there are more good people in society, the rules and principles will no longer exist, and there will be no truth, and bad styles will breed and spread. We want to be good people, but we can't be good people; We should be good to people, but not to everyone; We should have morality, but we should not be kidnapped by morality; When we help others, we should be kind and try our best, but we should distinguish right from wrong, don't be responsive and refuse to be unprincipled good people.
