Sometimes it feels like under the pressure of public opinion, we are forced to perform some behaviors that have nothing to do with morality, commonly known as moral kidnapping. Although deliberately avoided, "kidnapping" happens nakedly around us.
Like what
Three-wheeled collision with BMW: "Are you so rich that you still use me to pay?" ”
Wolf Warrior 2 donation: "The film sold billions, just donate a little bit?" ”
The train gives way: "Young people, give a seat to the elderly who don't have a ticket!" ”
Patriotism: "Not turning is not Chinese!" ”
The bear child willfully: "He's still just a child!" ”
Selling sympathy: "Fruit is not selling, help the old farmer!" ”
Marriage Urging Heavenly Group: "There are three filial pieties, and no queen is greater." ”
Female Godmother: "The best dowry for a girl is chastity!" ”
There is also the most difficult proposition in history is also a moral kidnapping question: "Who will be saved first when the mother and girlfriend fall into the water at the same time" (from the legal level, only the mother can be saved, otherwise it constitutes the crime of abandonment, and after the girlfriend gets the certificate, the status of the mother is equal to the law).
In the face of all kinds of absurd moral problems, although I did not drive a BMW or make a movie, my heart often put on a sentence: "By what?" What logic? ”
Behind moral kidnapping is logical confusion, which often falls into the vicious circle of stealing concepts, suppressing reason, and treating people and things wrong.
Many times our public opinion is led into an atmosphere of irritability: that is, if most people think that this conclusion is correct, then this conclusion is correct.
If you have money, you should repair your own car? If you have money, you should donate more?
Young people have to pay for the elderly can't buy tickets?
Bear children are willful, why should they be tolerated by other adults besides their parents?
Is it Chinese has a conclusion since the mother's womb, and what does it have to do with not forwarding you to say that pile of nonsense?
Is feminism, which runs counter to equality between men and women, pulling our civilization back more than a hundred years?

When moral kidnapping to blackmail each other, it will encounter a more embarrassing situation:
At the Time of the New Year, some people called on everyone to pity the poor old man who sold fireworks and firecrackers, and he could not sell them and could not make money for the New Year;
At the same time, some people called on everyone to pity the poor old man who swept the street, not to set off fireworks, and not to go home for the New Year after finishing his work.
I feel from the bottom of my heart that these old masters are very pitiful, but there are many such poor people, we just need to make a kind expression within the scope of our obligations, a cup of hot water, a warm treasure is good, do not call on everyone to intervene in a level competition that belongs to their own career.
Now that you have obtained a license to sell fireworks, you should bear the risk of this business when you make this business.
Our act of helping may help him make a little money, but the guy next to him who also sells fireworks is going to suffer, because the sale of sympathy directly creates unfair competition.
There is also a treasure, the boss's family of various fruits are not selling, and the vendors call on everyone to buy, so the binding goodwill sales are also considered creative.
The most fundamental thing in market economic competition is fair trade, and there can be no monopoly or unfair competition.
Economic development is objective and rules-oriented, and should be evaluated by the market, and moral evaluation cannot be supplemented by one-size-fits-all. The core of a company's competitiveness lies in its own housekeeping skills, not by selling compassion.

Regarding moral evaluation, there should not only be a black-and-white division of morality and immorality, but at least some neutrality. From morality to law, I think it is possible to distinguish the following behaviors:
❒ Obligatory acts
This is the most basic level of moral constraints at the entire social level, such as not defecating in public places, and doing it is immoral.
❒ Noble behavior
Morally noble behavior cannot be said to be the same as that of saints, but at least a few notches higher than obligatory behavior. For example, donating money to poor children is not immoral to do it.
❒ Neutral behavior
One's own personal behavior neither affects public order nor interferes with others. For example, eat spicy hot without pepper.
❒ Legal acts
It is illegal to avenge the father's murder, even if it is nominally a natural act.
Therefore, when public opinion evaluates an event, it often intertwines several behaviors to form a kind of kidnapping.
Celebrity donations are noble behaviors, but public opinion regards their donations as obligations and imposes them on fulfilling their obligations.
Avenging the father's murder is a legal act, but public opinion regards this act as an obligatory act of the perpetrator, in order to speculate that the murderer can be forgiven.
Browsing information on the Internet is a neutral act, but public opinion must be forcibly bound into the obligation of "not turning is not Chinese".
The root of moral kidnapping is crude logic. The several levels of behavior are not clearly understood, and in the name of morality, they impose obligations on others, but completely ignore the rights of others.
Everyone's life should not be disturbed, moral kidnapping lacks absolute respect for freedom and dignity!

There is a paragraph on the Internet that is very marketable, to see how a person treats you, you can't see how much he spends on you, you have to see how much he has.
He has 1 million yuan to spend 100 yuan on you and he has 100 yuan to spend 100 yuan on you, and the two situations are not the same.
But if these two lads are the same person, how should we evaluate them?
The guy spent 100 yuan to buy flowers for his girlfriend yesterday, and the next day he went bankrupt with only 100 yuan left, and bought a bouquet of flowers, did the weight of love change qualitatively in the two days before and after?
In a case of abandonment, I asked the suspect why he did not support the elderly, and he said: When I was a child, they (the suspect's parents) beat my grandfather and my grandmother, and I was very good to them.
The case is too extreme, but one of its innuendo points is that morality is also about inheritance and inheritance.
In addition, regarding professional ethics kidnapping, some professional ethics are contrary to ordinary morality, such as lawyers who defend murderers, soldiers who cannot escape even if they face death threats on the battlefield.
It can be said that it is very common for some defendants to commit such crimes that the lawyers who defend them have also become the targets of scolding.
This is a lack of understanding of the lawyer's professional ethics, and the lawyer's duty is to defend the suspect and fully protect the suspect's rights to confirm the suspect's guilt or innocence.
Adhering to one's own professional ethics is a big prerequisite for preventing unjust cases from occurring. It seems that lawyers are born to serve the bad guys. I agree with Teacher Li Yonghong's point of view: "Speak for the bad guys and benefit the good guys." ”
On a moral level, killing is bad, but what about killings based on job-related behavior? For example, the execution of the death penalty is also killing people, and killing people in this case is good.
Therefore, moral evaluation should pay attention to context, and evaluation is not static.

What are the consequences of moral kidnapping? One of the most intuitive feelings is the realization of the ultimate goodwill in the hearts of the "kidnappers".
Is such extreme goodwill really goodwill? It is questionable whether such a conclusion is correct due to the subjective moral evaluation of the kidnapper and the lack of moral objective evaluation.
To evaluate whether a person's behavior is moral, we must start from objectivity, restore the basic situation of the scene to the greatest extent, use evidence to prove the existence of facts, and use facts to criticize the inappropriateness or impropriety of behavior.
Many morals still have to be combined with a person's upbringing, beliefs, folklore, habits, and so on. The objective reasons for the collision of national traditions cannot be the object of moral kidnapping.
Sometimes public opinion is led by the nose by the words of the family, waving the moral stick everywhere. Criticism is an attitude toward life, not an outrage that kills others.
What I am most afraid of is the pursuit of fame and profit under moral kidnapping, and the entanglement of interests wrapped under the cloak of charity.
Sell unsalable products in the name of selling sympathy, sell health care products in the name of filial piety to parents, and sell peripheral products in the name of making children grow up happily.

Moral standards are epochal and not static. Nowadays, women can be called "beautiful", "little sister" and many other titles, and if placed in a special era, they may be sentenced to a counter-revolutionary hooligan.
Before moral kidnapping, the abductee should be given enough respect, at least to give the person a chance to plead, and to avoid being punched in the face later.
In the face of moral kidnapping, there is no good way to crack it, only to tear the face first and then ask for a ticket, tear off the moral high position of the moral kidnapper together, and tear off the noble face of pursuing interests in the name of morality.
Your morality is not my morality, your concept is not my concept. You have your justice, I have my dignity. I respect your right to speak, but please also respect my freedom!
