To deal with the wicked, Wang Yangming has a good "weapon", do you know what it is?
Wang Yangming was a famous thinker, philosopher, military strategist and educator of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the most influential thinkers in Chinese history.
He proposed the idea of "the unity of knowledge and action", which has been hailed as one of the most vibrant traditional Chinese ideas to date.
At that time, the society of the Ming Dynasty was full of all kinds of bad behaviors and bad phenomena, corruption, oppression of the people, massacre of innocent people, and so on.
There are also many people who fall into helplessness and despair. Wang Yangming knows that in order to solve these problems, moral preaching is not enough.
Therefore, he proposed a unique theory of "realm transformation", that is, "to conscience".
The so-called "to conscience" is to achieve the belief that one's will and actions are completely classified as a kind of knowledge, so that the mind and the situation can reach the realm of oneness.
In this way, we can overcome various shortcomings and achieve the state of "perfection and perfection". At the same time, Wang Yangming also stressed the need to be "brave and resolute",
In the face of the wicked, maintain a strong inner strength, use the practical action of combining knowledge and action, resist evil, adhere to justice, and use conscience to influence those who are unrighteous.
Wang Yangming once said: "Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil."
Therefore, in the face of evil people, we must touch them with kindness, and in our hearts, we should neither complain against people nor lower our own cultivation. This kind of "harmony" approach is not only a wise approach, but also a very practical way of doing things.
When we are strong in our hearts, even in harsh circumstances, we can pass on our goodwill and sense of justice to those around us, so as to sublimate and transcend in our hearts.
Therefore, to deal with the wicked, Wang Yangming's theory of "to conscience" is a very good "weapon".
This theory tells us that only with strong inner strength can we strive to protect the interests of ourselves and others in the face of hardship and danger.
Materialist and utilitarian ideas, on the other hand, tend to make people lose and fail to establish correct values and behaviors, thus making us unable to become a real person.
Looking at the development of today's society, we can find that there are still various undesirable phenomena and moral decadence, reflecting the decadence of people's inner world and the unhealthy inner realm.
Therefore, we need to learn from Wang Yangming's ideas and strengthen our own cultivation, so that we can truly be a person with integrity and responsibility in the world, and at the same time, we can curb and stop those bad behaviors and let the society operate harmoniously and stably.
