Human nature is good, and "middle" and "harmony" are original to everyone, how can it be said that there is nothing?

Human nature is good, and "middle" and "harmony" are inherent to everyone, so how can it be said that there is nothing? However, since the heart of ordinary people has been dimmed, although its essence is also seen from time to time, it will eventually be temporarily extinguished, and it is not of great use to all of them.

Human nature is inherently good, and "middle" and "harmony" are inherent in every human being, so how can we say that there is none? However, since the hearts of ordinary people are blinded by selfish and material desires, although their original hearts are manifested from time to time, they will eventually flicker and disappear, and they will not be able to reach the realm of great use for all.

Pot Tianshan people interpret

The inherent goodness of human nature is a consistent proposition of Confucianism. "Zhong" and "He" are two very important concepts in Confucian self-cultivation. "The Mean" says: "Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are not in the middle, and they are all in the middle, which is the sum." This means that the state of a person before his joys, angers, sorrows, and sorrows are expressed is called "middle," and after he is manifested, he is called "harmony." "Undeveloped" does not mean that emotions are not expressed, but refers to the state of neutrality and peace before emotions arise. "The sum of the middle sections" means that the emotions are expressed, but neither excessive, nor insufficient, that is, harmony.

Human nature is good, and "middle" and "harmony" are original to everyone, how can it be said that there is nothing?

Ordinary people rarely achieve "middle" and "harmony", because even when nothing happens, ordinary people often have anxiety, fear, restlessness, boredom and other bad feelings in their hearts, then it is not medium. When ordinary people have emotions due to the stimulation of one thing and one thing, there are many discords, either excessive, such as thunderstorming, grief, etc., or insufficiency, such as not daring to express, self-suppression, etc. The most fundamental reason is that the heart is blinded, and the conscience cannot always dominate people's body and mind. When the conscience is dark, people lose the "middle" and "harmony", and when the conscience is used, it shows the state of "middle" and "harmony", and it cannot reach the state of popular conscience and always maintain a peaceful state of mind.

Mr. Yang Ming talked about the state of ordinary people's hearts when they are blinded, so in turn, we can know that the reason why people want to study and cultivate themselves and strive to invent conscience is precisely to let conscience become the master of our body and mind at all times, so that we can maintain "neutrality" and "harmony" at all times.
