The source of this sentence is Huai Nan Zi written by Liu An in the Western Han Dynasty. The country has no righteousness, although it will die; People without goodwill will be hurt if they are brave. ? Translation is that if a country has no virtue and morality, then no matter how big the country is, it will certainly perish; If a person is not kind, no matter how strong and brave he is, he will get hurt.
Especially the last sentence, people are brave, and they will get hurt if they don't do well. This truth is not out of date even today. Because it embodies the taboo when people get along with others in social life, or it is an important criterion for us to live in the world.
Why do you say that? Because we live in this world and have relationships with different people every day, we should get along well with others. When reading, there are classmates and teachers around; There are family members and relatives at home, and all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation in society are influenced by others. If a person is unkind and harms others everywhere, such a person will only be isolated. No matter how strong and superb his ability is, because no one wants to get close to him or cooperate with him, he will lose many development opportunities because of his personality defects and basically live a lonely life. Isn't it hurt to be so unhappy?
Furthermore, if a person's morality is corrupt, his heart is extremely corrupt, and he even kills and sets fire to people, then he will not only be abandoned by society, but also be punished by law. We watched the news that when many criminals were arrested or sentenced, as long as they were basically kind people, they all applauded.
? People without good intentions will be hurt even if they are brave? In other words, kindness is more valuable than skill.
