Kindness is used? The young man helped the old man but was falsely accused, and the onlookers sprayed wildly, revealing the truth and getting innocent!
In this seemingly indifferent but warm society, we often hear some controversial incidents about "helping the elderly". On April 29, a scene on the streets of Chengdu once again brought this issue to the forefront. An enthusiastic young man who drove by saw an old man who fell to the ground, and out of kindness, got out of the car and stepped forward to help, but he didn't expect to be accused by the old man of being the one who knocked him down. Fortunately, the onlookers stood up for the guy, and after the police arrived, they also chose to believe the testimony of the guy and many witnesses, and finally let the guy leave and take the old man away to learn more about the situation.
This incident quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and people can't help but ask: In this society, will kindness really be rewarded? Will our kindness be exploited? When morality and law conflict, how should we choose?
First of all, let's praise the guys for their kindness and bravery. On the issue of "whether to help or not", he chose to stand up and help the old man who fell to the ground. This spirit is advocated by our society and is admired by us. But his act of kindness ran into unexpected difficulties. The old man's accusation not only made the guy feel wronged, but also made the onlookers angry.
We can't help but ask: Why is this happening? Is the old man really confused, or is it intentional? If it is the latter, then how should this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the kindness of others be punished?
Fortunately, in this incident, the onlookers and the police chose to believe the guy. Their actions show us the power of social justice. When the guy was in trouble, it was these witnesses who came forward to testify for him and helped him get out of the predicament. The arrival of the police also drew a successful end to this incident, and their fair judgment allowed the guy to be innocent.
But this incident is also a wake-up call. In this complex and ever-changing society, how should we protect our kindness from being taken advantage of, and how should we make choices when faced with similar situations?
Perhaps, we can think about it from the following aspects:
1. Raise awareness of self-protection. While helping others, we also need to learn to protect ourselves. For example, when we meet an elderly person who needs support, we can first ask if the other person needs help, and try to support them in the presence of others. In this way, you can avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and keep witnesses for yourself.
2. Strengthen moral education. We should cultivate in our children the qualities of honesty and kindness from an early age, so that they understand that it is a shameful act to take advantage of the kindness of others. At the same time, society should also strengthen the care and education of the elderly, so that they can seek the right way to help when they encounter difficulties.
3. Improve laws and regulations. The law should crack down deliberate exploitation of the kindness of others. By enacting relevant laws and regulations and strictly enforcing them, we can make such acts pay the due price, so as to maintain social fairness and justice.
Returning to the Chengdu incident itself, we have seen the contest between good and evil, and also the struggle between good and evil. In this contest, good and justice ultimately triumph over evil. But it also reminds us that in the face of similar situations, we must learn to protect our kindness from being taken advantage of, and at the same time, we must also have the courage to stand up for social justice.
