Dong Qing once said: "May your kindness persist, because although kindness is precious, if it has no opinion, it will also appear weak and powerless." Many people may be confused by this statement or even think it is somewhat contradictory. After experiencing various twists and turns in life, especially after experiencing some great changes in life, I understood the profound meaning of this sentence. This does not mean that we should give up kindness, but in exercising kindness, we should choose wisely and ensure that the other person is worthy of our kindness. Because if the other person is a bad person, our good deeds may become doting or even promote evil deeds.
Recently, the experience of a female netizen has sparked widespread discussion. At the moment, many people suffer from a disease, and although most people are only slightly unwell, some people feel extremely unwell and cannot get up in bed. If the family is sick, there may not even be a person to cook. However, there are still people who insist on taking care of their families despite the torment of illness, and this selfless spirit is commendable.
Most people will basically get better after a few days of discomfort as long as they rest well and do not have a fever. However, if symptoms are severe or you have other discomforts, it is important to seek prompt medical attention. Nowadays, it is not easy to buy medicines, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. However, some well-wishers and businesses will give their excess medicines to those in need for free. In this situation, the female netizen learned that a man living in the same community was seriously ill, and she happened to have extra medicine, so she offered to send him medicine. However, the woman herself contracted the virus and was unwell and felt dizzy. She lay in bed and rested for a while, then was startled by the reaction of the drug recipient.
According to the female netizen, the man contacted her at 8:06 that night to get the medicine, and she immediately replied and told the address after seeing the message at 8:12. She then felt dizzy and lay in bed resting, waiting for the arrival of the drug recipient. However, by the time the man knocked on her door at 8:29 and then started kicking the door violently, the woman had already woken up and was busy preparing her medication. At 8:33, she handed the cut medicine to the man and complained that it was rude for him to kick the door. However, instead of showing gratitude or apologizing, the men began to scold loudly. Subsequently, the two sides got into a spat. In fact, this situation makes anyone angry. After all, who would feel comfortable being treated like this when you were kind enough to help?
As the heated discussion among netizens continued to heat up, the local police responded on the 24th, saying that both sides were ill and had apologized to each other and reached an understanding. Many netizens like to sublimate the problem, but it is actually not necessary. This is just a scene in life, everyone has their own good, regardless of the special background of the epidemic, there are many similar situations. For example, Shi Yixiaoen caused great resentment, once tilted some meters, and one day reduced it a little, and the other party actually wanted to find trouble. It is not uncommon for this to happen, but who will be satisfied that a well-intentioned offer is mistreated?
Finally, going back to the original theme, we can be kind, but be sure to make it assertive and not blindly benevolent, because that's not really goodness. Although we usually don't expect anything in return when we give kindness, we want our acts of kindness to be delivered in a friendly environment. Some people may mock the female netizen for "just offering some medicine", but to be honest, such a person may lack social experience and interpersonal interaction, or be too selfish. Finally, we need to understand that kindness requires principles, because kindness without principles can hurt oneself. We need to let our goodness work under firm principles so that we can truly become a force for the benefit of others and society.
