What human nature expresses is a kind of nature between the animal nature and the divine nature. In other words, human nature includes two factors: divine nature and animal nature.
The unremitting efforts of traditional religious and moral scholars are, in summary, to discover or develop as much as possible the divine nature of human beings, and to suppress or eliminate the animal nature.
Animal nature, easy to understand. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, humans originate from animals. The animal nature that people possess is original, original, and inherent. It is also wise, collectivistic, or self-interested, competitive, and powerful. Like the jungle principles described by bucket, human nature is more embodied in the animal nature. The book wolf totem even advocates that our nation should possess and return to a certain level of blood and animal nature.
Animal factors, in summary, include material and lust. When power is alienated from material, it can also become the third content. Animal nature is also expressed as material and physical, as well as monetary beauty, Jiangshan beauty, and so on. Many similar summaries and summaries are made.
People cannot do without these material and lust needs. Putting material at the minimum is the question of food and clothing, and adding it with lust is what Confucius calls: food, color, and sex.
What would it look like if there is no animal in human nature? It can be said that, or all of them are a group of people, or the society has no motivation for development, because everyone's material needs are so low! In short, it is hard to imagine.
As for the divine nature, it has always been studied and thought by elites in society, including various thinkers. Their efforts resulted in the creation of various schools and religions. People become polite, disciplined, civilized, and cultural. They created the divine nature to a large extent.
However, although there are some artificial factors in the divine nature, it is so wonderful! It improves our aesthetic ability and life taste, and improves our spirit. Because of the pursuit of nature, the sublimation of beautiful love; because of the pursuit of material and create a system, build a home, promote science, the evolution of civilization! All of these make our current world better and better.
As one of our great leaders said, people should be mentally active!
People should have a spirit. However, what I want to talk about in this article is that the human nature has carved two aspects of the animal nature and the divine nature, which cannot be changed. In addition, we should not emphasize or suppress anything too much.
Looking back at our culture, since the Song Ming Dynasty, the suppression of human nature has gone beyond the limit. From the suppression of female's small-legged body to the spiritual restraint of the ring of July, our culture has gradually become restrained and gloomy, however, the loss of publicity, resistance and enterprising power, so after the Song Dynasty, the Chinese people have been castrated from the depths of the soul, and are destined to accumulate poverty and weakness for several hundred years in the future. The most confusing thing is that these advocates themselves and the class doctors themselves, but they have three wives and six wives, so they are desperate to indulge in luxury. This is a distorted culture and mentality.
In fact, such ugliness is still happening from time to time.
Has the world ever existed like Buddha? Or is it just a story made up by the Kings to enlighten their own people, so that the people can restrain their own actions and let everyone have a yearning. When they lose their way, you can also repent to the omnipresent God. The only person who can actually call back the soul is himself.
