Conscience

The ancients said: "Human nature is inherently good." In their philosophy, the so-called "gentleman" is a person who can maintain his nature for a long time, and the so-called "villain" is someone who can easily People who have lost their true nature. However, in today's society with rampant materialism and greed, perhaps human nature and conscience are facing unprecedented challenges: interests challenge it, wisdom challenges it, reason challenges it... ["wisdom" and "rationality" should be added in quotation marks . ] Human beings have understood too many truths, how to innovate, how to succeed, how to create wealth, and famous quotes and aphorisms are so full in their hearts that the heart that originally belonged to conscience has faded. [The meaning of "famous aphorism" is not clear enough. ]

The Tangshan earthquake in 1976 was a profound pain on the land of China. Time will never forget the 240,000 dead, and the living will always remember them. However, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the earthquake, someone turned "commemoration" into a "business opportunity" - a company built an "earthquake memorial wall" with names engraved for a fee, stipulating that "each name on the front is 1,000 yuan, and each name on the back is 1,000 yuan. 800 yuan”.

Perhaps the Jews who are best at doing business will be amazed at these people’s ability to discover business opportunities! Because during the construction of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, they would not have thought of making money by charging fees for engraving names. The construction funds mainly came from charity funds. Charitable donations are money, but charging for engraving names is making money. Isn’t that wonderful?

And this company, with brilliant calculations, is nakedly digging for gold from the remains of the victims. For the victims and their families, it is a scratch on the wound. [The passage from "Charitable donation is money" to "It is a wound scratched on a wound" is confusing and should be carefully considered and replaced. ] Not everything can be turned into a business opportunity. Planning that goes against conscience is not wisdom, and sacrifice that annihilates conscience is not sincerity. When the sun shines on the wall, conscience should be engraved in the heart. ["The sun shines on the wall..." A pun that makes people think deeply, good! ]

Some people may say that in the fiercely competitive business world, there will be some lack of restraints of moral conscience. What about in other areas of society? For example, in the journalism world that spreads human civilization, how do photojournalists engage in their noble journalism?

A Chinese engineer was unfortunately killed in the war in Afghanistan. The family members tried their best not to let the deceased's 88-year-old mother know the sad news. The reporters who came after hearing the news crowded in the yard. Some stuck their cameras through the corner of the curtains to take pictures. Some even called the village chief and planned to forcefully break down the door. The old man soon learned of the death of his son. The people who rushed in continued to use their cameras to take pictures of the old man's heartbroken and twisted expression...

It can be seen that the word "conscience" is too unfamiliar to many photojournalists. [To give just one example, it is far-fetched to conclude that the word ‘conscience’ is too unfamiliar to many photojournalists; in addition, the argument is not strong enough. ] It is understandable that I want to take photos that are shocking and catch the viewer's attention in order to fulfill my duty as a journalist. However, the shooting is random and abrupt, lacking or even losing awe and compassion, which only reflects professional indifference. Therefore, when spreading important international affairs and spreading advanced deeds, don’t forget to spread conscience.

Yes, businessmen are hyping up, reporters are filming secretly, cadres are corrupt, doctors are receiving red envelopes... What can we do to save our conscience?

Conscience - the bottom line of society, needs everyone to stick to it.

Conscience - the wealth given to mankind by the Creator, never throw it away.
