To live, people need a little reverence
Fear is a manifestation that even animals have. Fear is fear, fear is fear.
Fear of the performance, do not dare to easily offend the ear. This is more common in the animal kingdom than in human society. Because the so-called animal kingdom is a miscellaneous genus. And human society, after all, is the coexistence of the same kind.
All the legal codes in the world taken together still cannot completely solve all the problems of right and wrong in human society. There are quite a few questions of right and wrong that do not fall under the law, and they are still related to what the human heart is.
Therefore, in addition to the law, the cultural claims of mankind must also be condemned by conscience.
A man of conscience, a good heart. Good is good, so conscience is first and foremost a good heart. If it is not kind, a heart that has been beating for 80 years, even if it still beats as strong and powerful as the heart of an athlete, it can only be said to be a good heart. Such a person has no conscience to speak of.
It is difficult for a person who has no conscience to speak of to be good for a long time, and a person who is not good but not bad will be bad sooner or later. Because, he thinks that he has not broken the law, but in fact, he is already standing on the edge of the power grid of the law, and any wind of temptation is very likely to cause him to fall into the pit of breaking the law.
Moreover, the people who stand on the edge of the law, every time they have the adventurous idea of testing the authority of the law, and the complacency of those who pass by, this is also the reason for their final fall.
Conscience is not on the edge of the law, conscience is above the law, shining on the law all the time, so conscience is also called "heavenly conscience", although it is invisible, but it has quality.
Without the light of conscience, even judges can become bad judges, and as a result, the law becomes corrupt. Therefore, mankind must also fear the condemnation of heaven's conscience.
Life is only once for man, but only once for all living things. Therefore, life is not only precious but also sacred to all creatures that make the earth's phenomena rich, beautiful, and interesting.
In addition to pests and diseases that are harmful not only to human beings, but also to most other organisms, human beings should also cherish all life.
Love the life of one thing, pity the death of one thing, this is called reverence for life and death.
Respecting life is not the same as fearing death, but fear of death means not daring to take a chance. It is neither light on the life of human beings themselves, nor on the life of other creatures. Also, we should respect corpses.
"Heaven and earth have laws, the seasons have rules, and all things have laws." Man should also be in awe of the order of the natural world. Acts of quick or gratuitous disruption of the natural order will result in severe punishment for human beings. Fortunately, there is a consensus among today's human beings on this issue.
Reverence is not reverence for fear. The psychology of fear, in fact, cannot be transformed into respect.
Reverence refers to respect that arises from respect, not fear of others, and fear of one's own offense. It is terrible for a person, a nation, or a nation, and it will be very sad in the end if there is almost no reverence.
In China, to this day, are there many people who have a sense of awe, or are there many people who do not have a sense of awe? This is a question that we Chinese must face squarely and must answer honestly.
