At noon in summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, and the sound of cicadas in the courtyard is in your ears, as if telling the heat and length of summer. Under the scorching sun, Ah Xing sat alone in a corner of the courtyard, holding a worn-out book in his hand, but staring blankly ahead.
"Ah Xing, what are you doing in a daze?" A crisp voice broke the silence of the courtyard, it was Ah Xing's sister Xiaoli. She carried a basket of freshly picked fruits and walked over to Ah Xing and sat down.
Ah Xing didn't respond immediately, and only slowly spoke after a while: "Xiaoli, do you believe that people can be shameless?"
Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why do you suddenly ask this? ”
Ah Xing smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and began to talk about an incident he had encountered recently.
It turned out that Ah Xing had recently participated in a community event and made some new friends. Among them, there was a man named Li Ming, who seemed to be personable and eloquent on the surface, and quickly won everyone's trust. However, as time passed, Ah Xing gradually discovered that Li Ming was not as glamorous as he seemed on the surface.
Li Ming often borrowed money from his friends under various pretexts, but never returned it on time. He also likes to speak ill of people behind his back and tell right and wrong. What made Ah Xing most unacceptable was that Li Ming secretly took someone else's wallet at an event and blamed an innocent person.
"I really can't imagine how a person can be so shameless. Ah Xing said, a flash of anger and disappointment in his eyes.
Xiaoli also frowned after hearing this: "This kind of person is really hateful!
Ah Xing shook his head: "Maybe he has already thrown his shame out of the clouds." He can do whatever it takes for his own benefit, even to hurt others. ”
The two fell silent, and the chirping of cicadas in the courtyard seemed even more harsh.
After a while, Xiaoli suddenly spoke: "Ah Xing, I don't think we can lose confidence in everyone just because we have met a shameless person. There are still many kind and upright people in the world. ”
Ah Xing listened to his sister's words, and his heart moved. He raised his head and looked into the distance, as if he saw a wider world.
"You're right, Lily. Ah Xing took a deep breath, "We can't deny the whole world because of one person's shamelessness. We need to believe that kindness and justice are always the mainstream. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the gloom in their hearts seemed to dissipate somewhat. They continued to sit in the courtyard, enjoying the summer sun and the cool fruits.
However, Ah Xing did not forget the lesson that Li Ming brought to him. He began to make friends more cautiously and pay more attention to his own moral cultivation. He understands that there is no bottom line for a person's shamelessness, but his own bottom line must be adhered to.
As the days passed, Ah Xing showed excellent character and ability in life and work. He is helpful, honest and trustworthy, earning the respect and trust of those around him. And Li Ming, who once disappointed him, gradually lost his friends and trust because of his shameless behavior.
One day, Ah Xing met Li Ming on the street. Li Ming looked depressed, his eyes full of remorse and helplessness. He apologized to Ah Xing and admitted his mistakes and shameless behavior.
Ah Xing looked at Li Ming, and a complicated emotion surged in his heart. He didn't blame Li Ming, but said lightly: "People make mistakes, but the key is to learn to correct them." Hopefully, you can find your true self and start over. ”
After speaking, Ah Xing turned around and left, leaving Li Ming alone in contemplation.
The story spread throughout the community and became a topic of conversation after dinner. People have said that Ah Xing's handling is both tolerant and wise, which makes people feel the warmth and strength of human nature.
And Ah Xing has also gained more growth and insight in the process. He understands that there is indeed no bottom line to the shamelessness of people, but his heart can have endless power and wisdom. As long as you stick to your bottom line and principles, you can find your own path in a complex world.
In the summer courtyard, Ah Xing and Xiaoli still often sit together to chat and share their lives. Their topics are no longer limited to shameless people and things, but more focused on how to become a better person and how to contribute to society.
In this world full of challenges and opportunities, Ah Xing and Xiaoli interpret the brilliance and hope of human nature with their actions. They believe that as long as everyone can stick to their own bottom line and principles, they can work together to create a better and more harmonious society.
And Li Ming, who once disappointed Ah Xing, also rediscovered his direction and value after some deep introspection and changes. He used his actions to prove a truth to Ah Xing and others: even if a person was once shameless to the point of outrageousness, as long as he sincerely repented and put it into action, he could regain the respect and trust of others.
This story teaches us that the complexity and diversity of human nature cannot be defined by simple labels. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and all have the potential to make mistakes. What matters is how we face our mistakes and shameless behavior, and whether we can truly repent and act to change.
At the same time, this story also reminds us not to lose faith in the whole world because of the shameless behavior of one person. We must believe that kindness and justice are always the mainstream, and as long as we stick to our bottom line and principles, we can find our own path and direction in a complex world.
Finally, let's take Ah Xing's story as a lesson and constantly reflect on our own behavior and character, and strive to become a better person. At the same time, we should also learn to be tolerant and understanding of others, and give them the opportunity and space to mend their ways. I believe that as long as we work together, we can create a better and harmonious society.
