The vast majority of people in this world, for those who are better than themselves, usually have two completely different complex emotions......
One is of course the so-called envy, while the other is jealousy......
Although in a sense, the mentality of these two emotions is actually similar, there is still a fundamental difference between the former and the latter, that is, the former is more of a benign emotion, while the latter is a malicious emotion......
Of course, whether it is envy or jealousy, in essence, it is based on the fact that there are certain differences between the two sides, but the gap is not huge to a certain extent......
If the gap between the two sides is huge to an unimaginable point, then whether it is the so-called envy or jealousy, it will be gone......
If the other party is truly successful by virtue of their own ability, they will gain wealth and status that others cannot obtain......
Then the vast majority of people will not have too many negative emotions about this situation, but will sincerely admire such people......
On the contrary, for those who do not succeed by virtue of their own ability, the vast majority of people often have certain negative emotions about it, and for such people, there is more of a respectful attitude......
Whether it is the so-called hatred of officials or hatred of the rich, it is not so much hatred of officials and the rich themselves, but more hatred of those second-generation officials or rich second-generation who are born to enjoy their power and wealth without putting in hard work......
The vast majority of people in this world often don't like the existence of those aliens......
If you need to put in a lot of effort and cost to get something, but someone else can easily get it, it is naturally easy to arouse a person's resentment......
In the final analysis, no matter what kind of world you are in, you will always suffer from inequality instead of poverty......
However, in reality, no matter what kind of world you are in, unfair things always happen......
It's just that for ordinary people, no matter how unfair the real world is, at least it will never cut off anyone's path to success......
Although the world is not fair, it is not so unfair as to drown out the brilliance of a truly talented person, and no one with power or wealth in this world can prevent a truly talented person from shining his own light......
And this is the bottom line that ordinary people can accept!
If a social system naturally cuts off the upward channel between classes, then this social system will inevitably be resisted, and over time, it will inevitably produce all kinds of chaos, and eventually it will collapse completely......

Like the caste system in India, it is a very typical example......
In Indian society, every Indian has his own caste, different castes, determine different levels of social status, under this system, low-caste Indians almost have no way to improve the social class, and even for the crime of cheap life, the vast majority of them will be ignored by the police, the reason why there are always all kinds of riots in India, the root cause is actually the abuse of human rights by the caste system......
People of the lower castes basically have no human rights at all, even if their shadow is stepped on, they are very, very bad in the eyes of others, while the people of the upper castes naturally enjoy the general treatment of the nobility, and even when they go to the toilet, they have special servants to wipe their buttocks......
And the existence of this gap has put the country of India in a state of perennial chaos......
The high-caste Indians are constantly becoming corrupt because of their strong position, while the low-caste Indians, because no matter how hard they try, cannot succeed, and can only be forced to choose to leave, or die drunk......
In fact, this is one of the fundamental reasons why Buddhism has spread so much in India!
Whether the social system is rational or not will greatly affect the spread of religion......
If a country's social system is very reasonable and its social welfare is very high, then it is very difficult for religion to have a chance to spread......
The better the social welfare, the stronger the people's inner happiness and the lower the demand for happiness......
And the vast majority of religions in this world tend to preach to those who are poor......
The poorer people are, the more they need spiritual comfort and satisfaction......
The Buddhist concept of reincarnation is undoubtedly very suitable for the thinking mode of the poor, it does not matter if you endure hardships in this life, as long as you are sincere and kind, you will naturally have a good life in the next life......
The more difficult a person is on a material level, the more he craves comfort on a spiritual level......
And the more turbulent a society is, the more likely it is for religion to flourish......
On the contrary, if the social system of a society is more stable and the welfare is more sound, then there will naturally be many fewer people who pray to God and worship Buddha......
And the more chaotic the world, the more prevalent religion will become, for example, Thailand and India, which are very typical examples......

After all, order brings benefits in a substantial sense, but religion brings only spiritual satisfaction......
When material things cannot be satisfied, people naturally want to pursue spiritual satisfaction......
But on the basis of material satisfaction, then the vast majority of people will no longer have spiritual needs......
The more rational the order and system, the less chaos there will be, the less turmoil there will be in society, and those who are dissatisfied with the social system and always want to take revenge on the society will naturally decrease......
A reasonable social system is one that people should always be able to see hope......
Even if this hope is realized, there is only a theoretical possibility, but this extremely small possibility must not be completely wiped out!
This is what a superior social system must have!
Absolute fairness is impossible in any world......
In fact, the absolute itself is a non-existent concept......
Absolute fairness, in a sense, also does not exist......
Because being fair to some people is bound to be unfair to some people, fairness itself is a relative concept, not an absolute concept......
What kind of thing and what kind of value it has is different from person to person......
Some people think something is valuable, but in the eyes of others, it is worthless......
Just like the young lady on the road and the vast majority of ordinary women, there is an absolute gap in values, the former sells their dignity and body in exchange for wealth, because they feel that their body and dignity are not as meaningful to themselves as money, and the vast majority of ordinary women, in their cognition, their dignity and body are priceless treasures in the true sense, even if they are not beautiful, even if they are not rich, but they will never sell their dignity and body!
This is actually the concept of values......
Just like the same wealth, it is the previous generation of people who inherit wealth, and they make money from scratch, naturally two completely different concepts, although there is no difference between wealth and wealth, but the way to obtain wealth will determine other people's attitudes and perceptions of this person......
Self-made rich people will naturally be respected enough, but those second-generation rich second-generation officials, as long as they do not make achievements that surpass their elders, most of them will not get any too positive evaluation......

Fairness and unfairness are actually the same things that are needed for a social order!
Unfairness is the so-called concept of privilege, in any kind of social system, there are so-called classes, and different classes, they enjoy different social resources, and have different social benefits......
And the privilege itself is something that cannot be eliminated, because in this world, there are always some people who work harder, are more talented, and are more qualified to allocate the limited resources of this world than others......
And these people should naturally enjoy the privileges that ordinary people can't enjoy, if such people can't enjoy the privileges, then for such people, it is a kind of injustice......
The meaning of the existence of privilege is to let everyone strive to become a privileged person, and let everyone pursue further self-improvement in their hearts, and pursue the so-called state of everyone like a dragon......
This is the importance of the so-called injustice to a society!
The so-called fairness is more important than injustice, and the so-called fairness is to give everyone the opportunity to succeed, and absolutely not to stifle anyone's right to receive education, and absolutely not to stifle anyone's right to enjoy life......
Anyone, even a beggar and a homeless man, has the theoretical possibility of becoming a successful person, which is also the most important embodiment of the fairness of a harmonious society!
Anyone who works hard enough can achieve theoretical success, and the unfair social system itself in the real society will not affect this fairness, which is the ultimate factor of a harmonious society!
To give you a simple example......
It's like the college entrance exam......
Although in this world, there are all kinds of privileges, there are all kinds of official second generations, rich second generations, and all kinds of privilege inheritors, but even an ordinary student, as long as he studies hard enough, as long as he works hard enough, and has enough IQ, he can achieve a breakthrough in his life through the college entrance examination......
The college entrance examination may also be more or less unfair, and there may be more or less shady!
But it will never be unfair enough to bury a candidate with a high score!
This is the greatest embodiment of fairness in the real society!
