circumstances

There is almost as much evil as there is good in this world; If people have a wrong understanding, they will have wrong decisions and wrong behaviors.

A person, a beautiful woman, who came alone to a strange village, had no support, needed help, she was harmless; After surviving in the village, she gave the village everything she had; But not all of this is her willingness, like her body, but her expression does not arouse enough goodness in people; Man's evil sometimes needs to be coerced, and the same is true for man's goodness, when a hungry person can get enough meat at no cost, he will not stop, and you use good and evil to measure his own non-good and evil, such as thinking that he crosses all things with a heart of heaven and earth, it is a little ridiculous; It's ridiculous that you have the confidence to guide others for things that cannot be replaced, and that only one person can do on your own; If you conclude that man is evil and how hopeless the world is, then you have slipped into the abyss of disgust in your heart, and there is no excuse for it.

How ridiculous is man's self-righteous division of good and evil; What she thinks can and can't is not the standard of heaven and earth, only from people's excessive self, people must understand the original truth of people before what they do, human nature contains the slightest true meaning, but it is not reliable, all people's emotional love comes from loving themselves, that is, the internalization of their own love, which is inevitably absurd;

the relationship between man and his environment, that is, the relationship between man and the outside world; Human beings themselves have the nature of good and evil, and there is also a difference between good and evil in their circumstances;

When the goodness of man meets the goodness of the situation, it is said to be clear, and the heaven and earth are clear; The good of people meets the evil of the situation, which is called self-improvement, the original intention of heaven and earth; The evil of man and the evil of the situation are said to be abandoned, and heaven and earth are not tolerated; The evil of man and the goodness of the situation are called encouragement, and the mercy of heaven and earth;

The same evil, the same good, the same opportunity, the same effect, good for good, evil for evil, does not have a direct and inevitable reaction because of the existence of good and evil.

Civilization's self-help

Some people always ask, what is the difference between Eastern civilization and Western civilization?

Before we talk about this, let's look at the division of the two civilizations; Eastern civilization and Western civilization are divided into two categories based on the mainstream civilization in the world, and it is meaningless to include those ancient civilizations that have disappeared, because then the civilization of mankind is too complicated, and there are different civilizations in each region at different times, and they have a deep impact, which even includes many civilizations that are unknown to mankind. Therefore, when we say Oriental civilization and Western civilization now, we mainly refer to the modern civilization of the West developed with the origin of Greece and the modern civilization of Asia (mainly the eastern part of Asia) developed with the Chinese civilization, or the modern civilization of the East.

The difference between them is not difficult to find, from the difference in geography to the difference in historical inheritance, different divisions can have different perspectives, if there is any difference between the core of the two civilizations, that is, the difference in philosophical thinking, which is the main difference between all different civilizations, Western civilization pays more attention to the outside, while Eastern civilization is more concerned about the inside, which is reflected in all aspects of the two civilizations, if you are interested, you can take a look at our previous article, there are a lot of explanations for it, and I will not repeat it here; Rather than simply understanding civilizations by distinguishing them or searching for unity with a purpose, I prefer to explore the essence of civilizations among them;

In a brief explanation of the differences between the two civilizations, let's talk about the common points of the two, which mainly have several aspects, one is that both are civilizations developed by human beings themselves, the second is that the purpose of both is basically the same is to pursue a higher level of human beings, the third is that the timelines of the two are basically overlapping, the fourth is that the processes of the two are basically synchronized, and the fifth is that both have a relatively independent and perfect structure, and the sixth is also the main difference between the two civilizations and other civilizations is uninterrupted continuity. It is precisely because of this that the two civilizations have developed and become the two main streams in the world today, and the two may also be unified in the future.

Here we can also talk about some more digressions, the Eastern civilization has undergone a crisis of disconnection in modern times compared with Western civilization. This crisis may not have been as long in time as the Middle Ages in Europe. However, in terms of the degree of destruction of its own civilization, it is no less than the dark period that Western civilization has experienced. It is even more excessive, because it makes a great civilization have to bow its head under the pressure of external forces and admit that it is lagging behind. This is something that Western civilization has never had, even if it has not been at the forefront for a long time, but it has always preserved a pride in its heart. However, the Eastern civilization lost this pride at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking back at history, we have to admit that at one stage, the pace of the development of oriental civilization slowed down little by little until it stopped. How far back can this point be made? Some people say that it can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, which banned China after its blockade of coastal defense. We have to admit that a civilization that reduces its interaction with other civilizations in the outside world will be a great obstacle to its own development. There is no doubt about this, but for a long time, this information from the sea has been of limited use to the development of this civilization. However, the Eastern civilization has been advancing at its own pace, and has not stopped, but has been a distance ahead of other civilizations for most of the time. This cannot but be said that it would be a bit biased to take the Ming Dynasty's policy of sealing the sea as the cause of the decline of civilization, at least not because the Ming Dynasty's policy of sealing the sea itself had such an irreparable impact on the process of civilization.

No matter how brilliant it is and how ideal the external environment is, if it cannot have enough vitality for its own development, then the civilization will inevitably decline. And in the face of this crisis, only the civilization itself can be saved. Like a person, the genes of a civilization determine how far it can go; But luckily for people, the damage that a chance accident can do to a civilization is limited. Civilizations are like the stars in the universe, and they cherish them far more than individual people.

The height of the music?!

In the past six months, I have listened to an hour of classical music audio programs almost every day if I have time, and I feel very fond of it.

When listening to classical music, there is always a rhythm in my heart that I used to have in my heart, and I feel curious from time to time, so I think about it more, is music really high and low?!

If you talk about the amount of information, there is; Simple pop songs contain little information, such as a child lying in bed listening to a sound by the window; Classical music, like adult thinking, naturally has a huge amount of information, and there is a slight difference between Chinese guqin (representative of Eastern classical music) and Western classical music (represented by symphonies).

The Chinese ancient music (Oriental classical music) represented by the guqin is an extension of time and space, and does not deliberately pursue the complexity of the information itself, while the Western symphony (the representative of Western classical music) is seriously conveying the information itself; For example, if a person sits slowly by the window for a day, Chinese classical music is conveying the picture itself, while Western classical music is trying to describe the sound of rain or wind outside the window, the life in the house, the swing of the window, and the whispering of children...... infinite complexity and make it beautiful; But other than that, is the music itself hierarchical, or high-low? If music has divinity, can we say that children's laughter is low, and adults' laughter is high? If music has no divinity, how can we divide this kind of high and low?! And if there is a sound that can be listened to by animals and animals, it must be a small simple sound by the window, as it is not complicated as a child hears it, so we should not have the impression that the music is high and low, but only feel the beauty with our hearts.

If a person can no longer accept modern pop music (including popular songs) after listening to classical music, it must be his own heart that is doing something wrong, and he may not be feeling anything at all but only comparing;

In the same way, if a person who only listens to pop music feels that he cannot like and feel the beauty of classical music, we can only say that he thinks too much, in fact, all he needs is a little time and patience, after all, he only needs to listen to the beauty in it, not let him express this beauty, everything is not so difficult!

The above two paragraphs are more words, so my text really has no level, just an expression, my readers and I should also talk like two ordinary people, and it will not hurt to be more or less beneficial, that's all, nothing else, please forgive me!
