Do not do unto others what you would not do to yourself......
In fact, many people have heard this kind of truth, but not everyone understands it......
In this world, there are always many people, and the standards for measuring themselves and others will be very different, always being strict with others and lenient with themselves......
Just like in terms of moral standards, no matter what kind of mistake you make, even if it is a crime, in the eyes of many people, it is an excusable thing, but on the contrary, if others make a little mistake, you must hold on to it, and you are not willing to have any tolerance......
In many cases, people's moral concepts are not a static thing in themselves!
Some people are very disgusted with some things, but if their loved ones do such things, they tend to change their original attitudes......
It's like that little story of the famous Washington tree chopping down......
This story should have been heard by many people, and when I was a child, it was always used to illustrate the importance of honesty......
The story is simple, when Washington was a child, he once cut down two of his father's cherry trees. Then his father came back and was very angry. He thought to himself, "If I find out who cut down my tree, I'm going to beat him up." His father asked everywhere. When he asked his son, Washington began to cry. "I cut down your tree!" Washington and Panto. The father picked up his son and said, "I am such a wise boy, I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to you lie." ”
In the eyes of many people, honesty is a very important thing that this story illustrates, and it shows that honesty itself can make some mistakes forgiven......
However, for adults, what they see in this story is often completely different from that of children......
Children see that honesty can save them from disaster and make up for their mistakes......
But for adults, there is only one central idea in such a story, and that is the affection between father and son!
Yes, the affection between father and son!
For father and son, any estrangement or mistake can be forgiven and forgiven, even if a big mistake is made, even if an unforgivable mistake is made, it can actually be forgiven......
Because it's called paternity!
No matter how big a mistake the son makes, no matter how many problems there are, in the final analysis, he will not make the father disgusted with his children, but will try to help his children to settle the troubles......
In this story, Washington cuts down his father's beloved cherry blossom tree, and his father is not angry about this, the core reason is not because Washington is not lying, but because Washington is his son and is willing to be honest about his mistakes!
This kind of honesty and the relationship between father and son is one of the fundamental reasons why Washington's father gave up his anger and turned it into joy!
On the contrary, if a stranger does such a thing, even if he takes the initiative to admit his mistake, it is estimated that he will be beaten up!
To paraphrase a popular saying, if an apology is useful, what do you want the police to do?
In many cases, honesty does not exempt people from punishment, many times it only makes the punishment faster and heavier, which is why the vast majority of criminals, after being caught, will never be willing to admit the facts of their crimes!
Of course, this is also part of the so-called humanity!

Humanity is never something static!
Humanity, in the final analysis, is what people agree on......
As the times change, people's accepted principles will continue to change, so the standards of humanity will naturally change......
However, in any case, humanity will gradually move towards a state of gradual unification and integration of moral concepts, values and laws, and eventually will always form a behavior pattern and behavior template that benefits others and self-interest......
Actions that conform to this concept will be recognized and appreciated enough, and conversely, if they do not conform to such a concept, they will naturally be ostracized......
In fact, this is why the so-called win-win concept is always shared by the vast majority of people, because it is a concept that is in line with humanity!
Of course, this is the reason why law and morality diverge!
The law is always rigid and fixed, and does not shift with people's will, but people's morality is often affected by various factors and changes......
If it is affected by the social environment of truth, goodness and beauty, people's moral level will improve, and on the contrary, if there is too much negative energy in society and too much negative news, then people's morality will naturally decline......
Whether the moral level rises or falls, in many cases, needs to be guided by the conclusions of some judicial cases......
If a criminal who is enough to arouse public anger is released or given a light sentence, then the moral level of the people will generally decline, and on the contrary, if a criminal who is enough to cause public anger is sentenced to death, then the moral level of the people will naturally be improved!
Moral level, in many cases, still needs to be guided by rules!
Many times, people don't care about the so-called morality or immorality, it is nothing more than a habit of behavior!
It's like running a red light when crossing the street, for the vast majority of people, it is a matter of no scruples, and for the vast majority of people, it is nothing more than how convenient and how to choose, that's all......
And if the law says that you can't run a red light, and set the associated fines......
In the same way, smoking in public places, littering, and spitting are all norms at the level of civilization, and this norm is difficult to implement in many cases, and only by means of law can we truly reduce the occurrence of this uncivilized!
And over time, even if there is no legal provision, human morality will naturally become a habit, and when morality becomes a habit, there is no so-called concept of immorality!
After all, morality is not to see what a person thinks, but to see what a person does, if a person's behavior meets the standard of morality, then what he thinks, from the perspective of order, is actually a completely negligible thing!

Of course, the formulation of the law will not happen overnight, but the process can be imagined......
The vast majority of behaviors that conform to moral ideals will eventually become part of the law, and the vast majority of behaviors that do not conform to moral concepts will inevitably eventually become part of illegal behaviors......
This is a very simple truth, and it will inevitably be true in the end......
For example, the abuse of dogs and cats, although it is not an illegal act at this stage, will inevitably become an illegal act in the near future, because such an act itself is an illegal and humane practice......
Of course, the standard of humanity is often difficult to define directly......
After all, different people have different views and perceptions of things......
What some people think is ridiculous, others take it for granted......
It is like the custom of marriage in a very low place, in the eyes of the locals, it seems to be just a custom, no matter how bad the custom itself is, they will turn a blind eye to it, and will continue to maintain it......
However, in the eyes of some people in cities with a higher degree of civilization, this so-called custom is not actually a custom in the final analysis, it is already a kind of vulgarity, and even a serious insult to others, and even enough to constitute a crime!
Just like in many ancient mountain villages, they are still in a state of anarchy and lawlessness, and they are still the patriarch of a family, who can decide the life and death of the clansmen with a single word, and they themselves will not feel that there is anything wrong with this, but for civilized and orderly people, such a life is simply unimaginable to them......
Of course, in many cases, the more backward the place, the more barbaric their life mode will be, and the more simple and crude their system will be......
On the contrary, the more civilized the place, the more humanistic care can always be reflected in the system......

The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, this is the truth......
With the process and development of social modernization, the values of the vast majority of people will gradually be affected and change, and the life and thinking patterns of people in the cities will eventually radiate to those remote areas that are not too developed, thus having a earth-shaking impact and changes on their lives and thinking......
In the same way, people's moral level will gradually reach a relatively unified height with the development of civilization......
Morality is always compatible with civilization, the more resources, the fairer the distribution, the higher the average moral level of human beings, the closer a person's moral level is to the average level of human beings, the easier it is for his behavior and thinking patterns to be recognized by others......
On the contrary, too high moral standards and too low moral standards often make people naturally want to reject or disgust......
It's like a lot of people in the countryside who don't have much of a partner for dogs, and more often than not, they just treat dogs as a kind of personal property or a kind of spare food, and that's it......
This kind of concept, people who have pets in the city, is often difficult to accept, but in real life, there are indeed such people, they do not know the value of pets, for them pet dogs, pastoral dogs, in the final analysis, it is just a bunch of dog meat ingredients......
The vast majority of people, even if they don't have dogs and eat dog meat, will not see a live dog as a food or personal property, more often, they will see all kinds of animals as a life, even if they don't like these animals, but they will definitely give the necessary respect......
Of course, the problem of dogs does not belong to the category of morality, but simply humane standards, and some butchers who are cruel to dogs are extremely enthusiastic about people, but they cannot be generalized......
The so-called ******** is such a truth......
