In the morning, the child happily slid his blue scooter to the community opposite his home to find friends to play. During the period, seven or eight adults from the family were taking their children together, and the scooter was parked next to the entertainment area of the community. During this period, my eyes were always stuck on the side of the child. After about half an hour, I suddenly realized that the child’s scooter was missing, and there were two or three adults and children from two or three families missing.
I thought it was just a temporary borrowing by other children, so I asked my friend to take a look at the child and by the way, I saw who took the scooter away. As a result, I looked at the aisle of the entire community without a trace of the scooter. Later, I told the child that I might be able to send it here in a while. Half an hour passed, and I didn’t see anyone sending the scooter here. The child was depressed and kept muttering, Dad, where did my scooter go, and which child took his scooter. After lunch, I coaxed the child and said, "It's okay, someone will definitely come back in the afternoon, because I still believe that the world is kind, especially in nearby communities. The key is that I believe there is still a minimum moral bottom line for parents, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I still overestimated my own judgment of human nature. I ran over to check it twice in the afternoon and evening, but unfortunately the scooter did not appear.
The child felt very uncomfortable and was inactive all night. He said that it was the gift I gave him on his birthday, but now he has lost it. I said, did you see other children taking your scooter? He said, he didn't stop him after seeing it. I said, "Dad, have you always asked me to share it with the children? Last time I didn't let others move my scooter, you're still mad at me, and I will never trust you again in the future." One sentence choked me so hard that I couldn't speak, and I broke my defense in an instant. . . . . . Think about it, before, when he went out to play, he was worried about anyone who moved his two-wheeled car or scooter. After all, when children of this age are more protective of their own things, I have always instilled that he should be kind to others and learn to share the truth, but today he was blocked back. What is thrown away is not just a scooter, but a lack of children's view of a certain value in the future world. More importantly, it hurts the child's own ignorant mind, and it is difficult to buy a new car to heal.
I suddenly realized that I often educate my children about kindness and be kind to be kind. Sometimes in this complex urban society, is it too superficial? Is it right or wrong? The actual collision between the shaping of moral values and the social atmosphere, and will it be possible to adapt in the future? Just like when I was a child, I was always taught by teachers to respect the elderly and love the young. If I meet an elderly person who crossed the road, I have to help him or her, but the real society has smashed everyone's kindness to pieces. Who dares to help him? Is this the sorrow of human nature or the sorrow of the entire society? Society is developing and human nature should progress. However, our corresponding moral system and human environment guarantee have not improved better, but it is more of a social regression.
Tao says that all things start with the original mind of goodness. Things have their own development laws, but Tao cannot guarantee that you will survive if you obey morality, because there are always people in this world who don’t talk about morality. It’s not that the elderly have become bad but that the bad people have become old. Kindness itself is right. What’s wrong is that this society makes people have some difficulty in survival in the soil of good thoughts. Be kind to others, good people and good things. Isn’t this what this social ecology should have? If you can only rely on publicity and no system to support it, you will probably be able to stay in verbal TV and lose your human nature.
