What is the original humanity
In my opinion , we can’t say the original humanity is kind or evil ! A man is kind or evil in the life , it mainly depends on the effect of the circumstance and education. A person is born without kind or evil ,it just like a white paper ,no color; like a cup of white water ,without any taste. Person ,that time is animality ,and animality is neither kind nor evil ,this is the original humanity of person .It is all knowledge to know everything ,if a person is already 18 ,but he still know nothing of the world ,then ,how do you think about him ? Kind or evil ? In fact ,I am not the first one to say original humanity is neither kind nor evil, I think the first person is zigao ,the prentice of xunzi .He think the original humanity is neither kind nor evil ,but two different separative moral character are formed during the study and circumstance subsequently. His opinion is reasonable ,and can persuade me . Certainly ,this is my own point of view ,I think what is the original humanity ,such kind of discussion will keep on for a long time .But I really bend in my mind that as long as you have the belief to be a good person ,then, you will be a good person eventually. |
