About sex, since ancient times vexed Mo belongs to the evil nature of the problem of goodness, from "Gaozi articles" in public are asked Mencius child, then you can see, about three judge of good and evil, or say: 'no good and no poor '; or saying:' properties can be good, can be poor '; or saying: "there goodness, sexual poor'. So we must first clear a problem in the analysis of the content of what the problem is before analysis. Then we must first thoroughly understand what is sex?
Definition of, that of the said sub-divisions of Health. Zi "name" article said: "Called the Health of why sex; and born of nature, fine a sense, not something naturally that of sex." Very clear, naturally it is not mixed with any man-made nature. Therefore, Zi in the "evil" sermon: "human evil, the good and the dummy also of people today, while good health benefits Yan, Shun is so politely refuse compete born dead Yan; born with evil disease. Yan, Shun is so faithful born dead residues thief Yan; desire born with eyes and ears, good sensual Yan, Shun is therefore promiscuous born dead propriety ARTS What, then the person of Yan, cis touched the. He will be out of contention, close to the points made chaos management, and attributed to the storm. it will have of imitating, the propriety of the road, then out politely refuse, qualifying for Arts and Sciences, and attributed to the rule. with this view, human evil Ming men, the good and the pseudo too. " Later say: "not learn, do not, in human, it means that resistance; but can be learned, people who may be made of things, that the dummy is also pseudo-points.". Very clear, the reason that the Xunzi evil human nature, from human biological instinct departure, hungry will eat no food would compete. In fact, the starting point Zi and the same sub-divisions, sub-divisions also said Sisexingye. They are from biological instinct as a starting point to consider.
But I think sex should be divided into the fundamental properties and basic properties, such as birds and dogs will have basic attributes of animals, birds but the reason for the bird and not a dog is a dog because it is different from the properties, which is a bird of fundamental attributes. So people had for others is not a fundamental attribute of the so-called biological instinct, or else no difference between people and animals, and it's just as basic attributes of human animals only. The reason why is because the human heart there is a difference between man and other organisms, and have been introduced on a heart, here again simple way, Mencius said: "official mind is thinking," the function of the heart is thinking. I've never seen a dog can distinguish the difference between large and small piece of meat piece of meat. So when talking about sexual issues, should be added in front of a word. That is the fundamental reason why people attribute human.
Mencius about sex when you grasp this point. There are two most telling:
Told Confucius said:. "Born of that nature," Mencius said: "born of that nature, it still white and white of that?." Told Confucius said: "Ran.". Mencius said: "The white feather is also white, the snow still white; the white snow, still white with white jade?." Told Confucius said: "Ran.". Mencius said: "What, then the dog's sex, sexual Utah cattle; of cattle, Utah nature of human beings and?."
Mencius said: "the taste in the mouth of the can, but also the color head in the ear of the sound also, in the nose to also smell, the limbs also to secure Yi, it is also, there is life Yan, is also not that gentleman.
Mencius so-called resistance, is the reason why people human nature, rather than born of that nature, such as survival instinct. From this point of view, and Xun Zi Mencius so-called so-called sexual this is not something for a while, Mencius, Xun Zi such criticism is not just intentionally or unintentionally.
Mencius on issues of good and evil, have been described as follows: "If that is the situation, that may be good men, is the so-called Chizhov also good for the poor, it's also non-crime ...... poem reads: 'natural steam Man, there are things there are the people of Bing Yi, good Itoku 'Confucius said:'.. poetry who do this, so there was almost know it must then, the people of Bing Yi also, so good Itoku!. '. " It can be seen Mencius so-called good, is along the original disposition to do this, it is a natural behavior. Later cited the words of Confucius is why is the situation if it can be that good. Love is made outside of the heart, the heart can do things, there was then there, along which case it may be that good. I heart the saints come with natural ears, if not for the poor, the only non-sin. Why was it not a crime it? Mencius said: "The good of humanity, it still water on the next person also have no poor, no water, no less than this husband of water, fight and jump it, make too forehead; the line of laser, make the mountain is... Qi of the holy water? its potential is also-ran. the man can make is poor, it is also still have sex. " This analogy is good. Human nature like water, flows downward as good as wanted water, there is no human nature not for good, to those who are not poor nature of the case, ah, their nature is good deeds, but they do not lead to some external force to the good. So look at "Mencius" the whole chapter, Mencius never said of the good words and Mencius so-called good is a trend, not a primitive state, like beauty, you can say that human nature is beautiful?
It is unfortunate that it did not distinguish, but the mix of people with the ability to think and talk about sex when biological instinct since the Qin scholars talk about sex. As Hengqu, Ming, Ikawa, Zhu, talking about the property, or for private shape of the gas, or from a positive lives. Of points temperament, nature of justice. It is mysterious, but there monensin end.
Briefly talk about human nature so much, cover taste is concerned, the purpose of the discussion is not to analyze the human nature in the end is how to structure, how it works, but to the people of the importance of people, and then deliberately to cultivation soon as the .
He says a few words digression:
I grew to accept education is basically good, but now it seems not quite right, I think humanity As I said above, is a kind of thinking, this thinking must not be used to describe the concept of morality . But this thinking it can be moral to be filled. So this human nature (I understand this is the original state) good, but rather that adult sex goodness.
I have always accepted that education is a human evolved step by step, little time to think this is true, and as long after that this is just a theory. Although I'm not sure how people are coming, but I can not help but feel that people now (thinking) like a beast who applied to things. Humanity and Brutality fight all the time inside a person's body, so this sometimes as a man, sometimes like a brute. And since human beings have the ability to think at that moment, but for environmental reasons external causes different cultures, but their ability to think has not changed. So do not think that 8,000 years ago by ancient pottery bowl, now people use stainless steel is thinking evolved, the reason why the ancients used pottery bowl because he has not found iron ore. We all know that the accumulation of knowledge is, the expansion of knowledge is attached to the expansion of external things, and thinking is not going to change. This is a very simple truth. Otherwise, why now people do not understand the five elements, easy operation, meridians, blood gas, but only because of the different cultures.
Return to the topic:
The purpose of knowledge is to see the people of the importance of people, but in real life people seem to do so little, when people look at external things often are designed to meet the desire of the eyes and ears, so that this is a good and the United States. For example: people see the stars, a high official like people will like it, because they have the temperament, style, elegant manners, and some even beauty scared to Heaven, everyone will like it, because people want to have eyes and ears, Mencius too, to see the Prince of Qi Kuiran Mencius sighed and said: "Home-shift gas, raising shift body, Dazai ranking almost non-exhaustive husband and son of the man!?." Environment created temperament, care of their own changing body, the living environment is really important, ah, he do not someone else's son? Mencius is certainly visible environment can change people's. But the external gas body is beautiful, good right? Mencius said: enrichment of that beauty. The so-called enrichment is the outward diffusion from the inside, then the point is to force the people. So if people just listen without thinking through the eyes and ears would want from a brutish. Confucian thought is the essence of the people, the so-called essence of things is inherent in the fundamental attributes of person, really is the people. So the correct values no big firms in the world really regret the world.
Everyone can not ignore its own as a great crown of creation, as one can not forget the small things. Unfortunately everyone seems to lose sight of their great as intelligent people, have forgotten as one of the small things. I say great because there are people who say small because people have animal. Only when the people became one of the main people who can really become! This is true saints, but saints just come with me to the heart of the natural ear. We say that consciousness, awakening its meaning if people are able to make full use of reason and understanding to play their humanity that is awakening. Of course, Zen said epiphany different because of the different cultures, aside.
Human life must be the last to turn to dust, that the people in this life how to deal with this over the last nothingness of it?
I think: "The meaning of life lies in the achievements of his life, that life is about the fundamental achievements of the emotional life of sublimation, the sublimation of life emotional way is to get out with grace, wisdom and put into practice." I call emotional life is a fundamental view of things inside out by a person pure. Sublimation is a so-called because it is generally difficult to detect in the esoteric, to achieve now almost hidden Mo, Mo almost significant micro level, that does not sublimate. The so-called phase out all the things said Chi Ming Hui said all sensible, is fully aware of and play to people.
Ming's primitive for days and can not easily, in fact, and not a few body prepared to leave. Keep their heart, raising its resistance, soon to Slim's, not Yaoshou II.
