Don't think that a good thing is too small to do, and don't think that a bad thing is too small to do.
Revelation: This sentence is about the truth of being a man, and goodness, even small goodness, must be done; Evil, even a little evil, can't be done.

Pei Songzhi, the first biography of Shu Zhi in the Three Kingdoms, notes: "I was sick at first, but I had diarrhea in my ears.
Later, I turned to other diseases, and I almost failed to help myself. People don't die at 5, and they have more than 6 years left. Why do they hate and stop hurting themselves? But they think of your brothers. I shot you, saying that the Prime Minister lamented your wisdom, greatly increased his training, and was too eager to judge. Why should I worry? Encourage it, encourage it! Don't do it with evil small, and don't do it with good small. Only virtue and virtue can serve others. Your father's virtue is thin, so don't make it work. Reading Han Shu, Book of Rites, and observing philosophers, Liu Tao and Shang Jun's books in leisure time are beneficial to people's minds. I heard that the Prime Minister had finished writing Shen, Han, Guan Zi and Liu Tao, but he didn't send them, so he died. You can ask Wen Da more. "

This is the words in Liu Bei's testamentary edict to his son Liu Chan before his death. The original sentence is: "Don't act on the small evil, and don't act on the small good. Only virtue and virtue can serve others. " The purpose is to persuade him to study in Germany, make a difference, and stop being lazy. Good things should start from small things, and small things can make a big deal. Bad things should also be prevented from small things, otherwise many a mickle makes a mickle, which will also ruin big things. Therefore, don't stop doing good things because they are small, let alone doing bad things because they are small. A lot of small good will become a great good for the world, while a lot of small evil will be "enough to mess up the country."
Liu Beiwen of the Three Kingdoms said, "Don't act on the small evil, and don't act on the small good.". This sentence is about the truth of being a man, as long as it is good, even small goodness should be done; As long as it is "evil", even small evils can't be done. This sentence deserves to be known and remembered by the world. Later, the world preached that "don't do it with evil, don't do it with good."
