"Qi Yuanshuo": Make a good red envelope, but goodness cannot seal the altar!
"Qi Pa Shuo" was originally a variety show. As for the result, if you are serious, you will lose. Its significance lies in the inspiration that every debate gives us.
Some people say that this debate is very watery, but I don't think so.
This argument seems simple, but behind it lies the logic of economy, politics, humanities and society.
I insist that it is certain.
Isn't it good to get a small red envelope reward for doing good deeds?
We have always believed in the goodness of human nature too much.
We feel that you are great only if you really do something from the heart, pure and unrequited.
And once you get the reward for doing so, you are not worthy of praise.
Why?
Why has our attitude towards money become so deformed and distorted?
I clearly preach that hard work makes money, and a happy life requires struggle. We envy those who have achieved financial freedom at a young age.
But why, in the face of many things, once money is involved, we will feel impure and exclusive? Why should I draw a clear line with all the money to prove my greatness?
Many people will say that talking about money is vulgar. That means you haven't really realized the value of money.
90% of the world's problems can be solved with money, and the remaining 10% can also be alleviated with money.
Money is the tool of our life. A little red envelope can't completely change our life, but at least it can make us live a better life, and let us get a little self-recognition and affirmation while helping others.
I agree with Yang Qixin that social division of labor and competition can maximize social benefits.
And true goodness will not disappear because of this.
We never test human nature, but we never underestimate it.
"If morality is so easy to be defiled, you will know that there is no real morality in that person."
If true morality exists all the time, even if there is a red envelope, it will not do any good.
The opposing party has been entangled in the size of the red envelope, the order of the names of the people who receive the red envelope, and whether anyone will use this policy to cheat the red envelope. ......
These have nothing to do with the topic we are going to talk about today-what we are going to talk about is whether this kind of red envelope as an encouragement mechanism can promote the better operation and development of society, and whether those problems can be solved through subsequent policies.
A month ago, I wrote an article that mentioned some unreasonable places in our education and the stereotype caused by our long-term living in this environment:
Confucianism simply divides people into good and evil, and there are only two.
This view not only ignores the gray area between good and evil, but also ignores that good and evil are dynamic. People yearn for beauty, but at the same time they are tempted by evil. Man is seeking his own balance between these two poles.
Human nature is dynamic, and people cannot be simply classified.
Even if you judge a person by experience, people will change.
We should never believe in morality and never come to the conclusion that whoever is a gentleman is a villain.
Morality is very important, but it can never guarantee us.
The reason why we say this is not that we have lost confidence in the goodness of human nature.
We believe too much in human nature and self-restraint. We feel that people's self-discipline and requirements are more noble than external system and legal coercion. Moreover, we firmly believe that this kind of human nature is immutable.
Used here, we have always believed that people's kindness and unpaid efforts are more noble than policy encouragement.
But it turns out that kindness is unstable. Let's not say that people waver between good and evil. Even the so-called "good guys" can't do good deeds continuously.
Just like the example given by Professor Xue Zhaofeng, the lunch your friend gives you is occasional kindness, while the lunch vendor downstairs will provide steady help.
Kindness is accidental, and value exchange is eternal.
But our thoughts are terrible because we would rather believe in unstable goodness than adopt stable policies and systems to regulate our behavior.
"Never test human nature. We should use a reasonable system to avoid testing human nature. "
I am deeply touched by this, especially since I have been in the official WeChat account for so long, many people have asked me a question: Why do you want to be an official WeChat account?
It is one thing to record your life, share more dry goods and interesting ideas, and it is also one thing to make money.
Don't be surprised, that's how I confess. Not only me, but also other small authors.
This is an era of knowledge payment, which means that the quality of knowledge you can get for free is getting worse and worse. At this stage when the protection of intellectual property rights is not standardized enough, we have been able to deeply feel this.
Again: kindness is accidental, and value exchange is eternal.
We are all human beings, not gods. There are really not many people who are willing to continue to pay for free.
"Good people can't eat, drink and be merry in time. Good people should not covet fame and fortune. Good people must be pure. Good people must be solemn and stirring ... what is the price of your high moral altar? There will be no second person willing to go up again! "
White old man is like this. We praise his greatness, but we don't want our children to live like him.
Why should we be so hard on good people?
Why can bad people "put down their butcher knives and become buddhas", while good people will be spurned by everyone just because they have paid so much?
There are classes every day, squatting on the balcony late at night, coding, typesetting and pushing, and sharing some dry goods and experiences with you. Although I can't say good people or bad people, I can do my best to help everyone.
The little author also wants to eat, and we also hope that our life can be better, even if it is only a little.
Good people can also eat, drink and be merry in time, and they can also covet fame and fortune. Good people don't have to be so tragic. Only when I get this award can I have more motivation and patience to continuously produce better content.
I once had a friend who was the official account of WeChat, and she despised this way. She insists on writing the official WeChat account for free, never praises her or accepts advertisements.
Two months ago, she had something to write. However, the later, the more tired and helpless she felt-an article that took several days to polish repeatedly, but only hundreds of people read it.
I just saw it, that's all.
Gradually, she no longer has the enthusiasm and motivation to insist on writing articles, and the quality of articles is getting worse and worse. Gradually, even the official WeChat account can't be done.
Business is the underlying logic of the operation of this world, and good deeds are only accidental goodwill, reminding us not to be disappointed with good deeds.
There is "aesthetic value" in the life of a good person and a bad person. But only when good people live well will there be social benefits. "
Just because I want to get everyone's appreciation and praise, I will try my best to share it, not keep it. It is also because of your reading and praise that I have the motivation to continue writing.
Of course, I'm not saying that everyone in this world is a rational economic man.
"If your understanding of human nature is so dark, a few small red envelopes can turn all good people into businessmen. What do you expect from this planet! "
As Professor Xue Zhaofeng said, why is there so much business and so few good things in this world?
Because business is the foundation of the world, and goodness, goodness and virtue are the highlights of human nature. It glows because it is rare and precious.
Kindness is accidental, and value exchange is eternal. Make a good red envelope, good people will be more decent, and kindness will not disappear.
