If there is such a homeless man:
dressed in rags, looked fierce and evil, spoke roughly, and he still repaid his grudges and did not know how to be grateful. Do you mean to help people like
? I believe most people will avoid it far away. But the bishop in " Les Miserables " does the opposite, and is better for ungrateful people.
As a secular person, it is difficult to understand this practice. Judging from the bishop's benevolent approach, the better for a despicable and unmoral person, the more he can save his soul. This is probably the magic of love.
The miserable man
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a rude man walked in. This man was a hard-working criminal Jean Valjean . He held a stick in his hand, his eyes were rude, unrestrained, tired, like a devil. He said loudly:
My name is Jean Valjean. I am a suffering epidemic criminal and have spent more than ten years in the hard labor camp. I went to many places and people said to me: Get out of here! No matter which one I went to, no one was willing to receive me. I have money and savings, I am extremely tired, and after walking twelve miles, I am very hungry. Can I stay?
After hearing the words of this miserable man, the Bishop said only one sentence to the servant: Add another set of tableware.
Jean Valjean looked at the bishop in surprise and repeated: Did you hear it? I am a hard-working prisoner and have just come out of the hard-working field. I was driven away wherever I went. Would you like to receive me? Would you like to give me something to eat? Would you like to live in me? Do you have a horse shed?
Bishop did not answer Jean Valjean, but said to the servant again: Go to the inner room and lay white sheets on it. Then he said to Jean Valjean: Sir, please sit down and roast the fire. We will have dinner in a while. Just as you eat, you will clean up the bed for you.
At this time, Jean Valjean confirmed that the bishop was going to take in, and he was extremely moved and stuttered when he spoke. On the one hand, he couldn't believe that the bishop actually used the title of "you", and on the other hand, he didn't believe that the bishop took him in.
He was anxious to say that he had money and could pay the bills, and he could do as much as he wanted. When he knew that the bishop was not taking him any money, he was both respected and well cared for.
When the bishop called him "my brother", Jean Valjean's heart was warmed up, and he swept away the hunger and cold, as if he had seen the light.
Indeed, Jean Valjean was a miserable person. He was sent to the labor camp just because he was so hungry that he stole a piece of bread. He stayed in a full nineteen years, put on a red prison jacket, dragged an iron ball on his feet, and slept on a wooden board. Whether it was the scorching heat or the cold winter, he had to work hard labor.
No one sympathized with him, nor did anyone give him a good face, except for the bishop's caring for him as brotherly as caring.
Ingratitude and hard-working criminals
is compassionate and gentle and peaceful, and even the lowest-ranking people are shining.
Although Jean Valjean was warmed up under the warmth of the bishop, his despicable nature was still struggling, especially when he saw the silver tableware used by the bishop on the dining table, he was moved.
is like a person who has been wandering in the dark for many years. Once he goes ashore, he will not only be uncomfortable, but also feel nervous, and will be mixed and messy.
For Jean Valjean, the silver tableware illuminated him like light and entangled his mind. That thing is in the small closet a few steps away from him, and it can be sold at least 200 francs , which is twice as much as his total assets.
Jean Valjean was in a dilemma and struggled fiercely. Emotionally, he did not want to steal the bishop's silver tableware, but reason told him that it could be sold for a lot of money.
After an hour of ideological struggle, he finally took off his shoes and walked quietly to the closet. Although he was shaking and a little at a loss, the temptation of money still made him unable to help steal silver tableware.
However, he walked out of the door, opened the window, picked up a stick, stepped over the windowsill, jumped over the wall like a tiger, and ran away.
I have to say that Jean Valjean was too ungrateful. The bishop moistened his dry heart with love and warmth, but he stole the bishop's only valuable tableware with his revenge, and did not consider which tableware was specially taken out to entertain him.
From this point of view, the despicableness in human nature will not be changed by one touch. This is the weakness of human nature and also Jean Valjean's habitual choice. It is about the choice between repaying kindness and selfishness .
For Jean Valjean, his long-term indifference has made him lose his experience of love, and he has to face everyone fiercely, even if his benefactor is no exception.
This is the darkness of human nature and the subtle influence brought by the suffering in the original family.
Selfless love can redeem
How to redeem a person who falls into the darkness? There is only selfless love and tolerance.
Just like the bishop treating Jean Valjean, Jean Valjean, who stole the silverware, was quickly caught. His erotic style was inconsistent with exquisite tableware that was inconsistent with his sneaky and ragged clothes.
Jean Valjean lied that these silverware were given to him by the bishop. Of course no one believed this clumsy reason, so he brought him to confront the bishop.
It was Jean Valjean who stole the silverware from his benefactor. What everyone unexpectedly expected was that the bishop actually excused him, saying that the silverware was given to him by himself, and even gave him additional silver candlesticks, and even scolded him for forgetting to take it away.
Bishop is not rich, silverware is the last decent he can take. Whenever he has some money in his hand, he will give it to the poor in need for free, and whenever others need help, he will lend a helping hand.
I remembered a sentence: Love and trust can save a person's soul.
For Jean Valjean, it was indeed a bit ungrateful to Jean Valjean for the bishop who selflessly helped him stole Qiu's only valuable item from his benefactor. However, the bishop not only did not hold him accountable, but instead treated him twice as well, not only to prove him, but also gave him an additional gift.
Under the influence of the bishop, Jean Valjean's soul experienced baptism. He changed from a villain to a good person, never stealing or doing anything that harms others' interests.
In the end, Jean Valjean was named Madeland's father, devoted himself to goodness, brought more people to become rich, and also helped countless poor people free of charge.
Bishop saved an ungrateful person with his sincere love and kindness and saved his soul on the verge of falling. It deserves tribute and respect.
Use enough love and kindness to be kind to a person without a conscience and can be saved in loss. After all, people's hearts are flesh, and no one is born to be evil. Most people are ungrateful, and are forced by the torture of poverty and illness and life in hunger.
