Seeing problems and doing things should start with who is the biggest beneficiary. Although individuals get valuable returns, the biggest beneficiaries are the country and society, which is bigger or smaller, which is self-evident. In fact, the relationship between virtue and benefit is not completely opposite. It is only because we hold high the moral banner in our hearts that we make a wrong judgment on all slightly deviated behaviors.
The ancients said: "The grid is above the plum and accumulated among the bamboos; Moral confidence must be correct, and the quality is elegant and high. "Indeed, morality is a noble character. From ancient times to the present, morality is an eternal topic and the foundation of being a man. Without morality, one cannot stand on one's feet. However, when we admire morality, we often go too far, as if morality and money are natural enemies. When evaluating a person's morality, it is unwise or even completely wrong to focus all eyes on money.
In the Millennium, Professor Yuan Longping accepted the first "highest scientific honor award" of 5 million yuan. According to the above theory, should we consider him immoral? No, the popularity of two-line hybrid rice technology in Yuan Longping has enabled China to feed hundreds of millions of people in the world. In contrast, this 5 million yuan is insignificant for his contribution. The reason why the state set up this award is to encourage scientists to make greater contributions to the country, let the world know that China is a country that respects talents, and thus attract more domestic talents, overseas students and foreign scientists to work in China. The "reward effect" has been really fruitful in recent years.
China made a historic breakthrough in the Athens Olympic Games. After the competition, the state rewarded the athletes who won the gold medal. This incident caused a lot of discussion, and the words of accusation filled my ears. But I think reward is a kind of catalyst, which can motivate more athletes to achieve good results. Maybe we will win the first place in the total number of gold medals in 2008. We can't think that athletes lose their morality when they get bonuses. Don't women volleyball players collectively donate money to charity? Coincidentally, when SARS was prevalent last year, didn't Real Madrid players who made huge sums of money in China also donate huge sums of money to china charity federation?
Of course, we should not forget the great righteousness, but we should correctly treat and handle the relationship between morality and interests. Not long ago, facing the fishermen who fell into the water along the coast of Leizhou, someone shouted "charge first and then save people", which made people shudder. The incident that a Korean star published a "photo album" in the name of "comfort women" is even more irritating. This kind of behavior of valuing profit over morality and taking advantage of loopholes to make money is disgusting.
Under the situation of market economy, it is particularly important to deal with the relationship between morality and interests. We should not misappropriate the concept of morality unilaterally, but should treat and deal with moral problems rationally.
My friend, let's treat interests with rationality and maintain morality with rationality!
Moral composition material 2 Should Confucius students accept rewards after saving lives be said to be greedy? Shouldn't Wu Juping, the most beautiful mother who holds up her child with love, be awarded the touching award? Shouldn't Yuan Longping, which has solved the problem of feeding millions of people, win the highest science and technology award? Can't you get the benefits in return after giving? Acceptance does not mean greed, but a sense of responsibility, which can inspire more people to do good deeds.
Morality and interests are not completely opposite, and sometimes they are unified. In some countries, ethics has been institutionalized through legislation. Japanese law stipulates that if someone finds something and returns it to the owner, the owner must pay 5% to 20% of the value of the lost property, whether it is money or goods. If you don't pay this fee, you won't get the lost property back. Of course, if the finder doesn't have to accept the reward, but if he does, he should. No one should call him greedy. It's just that he balances the relationship between morality and interests. Such regulations will encourage more people to do good deeds, and also let people learn to be righteous before benefiting, to be grateful, and to be cautious.
Of course, we should not forget the great righteousness, but we should correctly treat and handle the relationship between morality and interests. According to a report in Focus Interview, after a young man spent more than 10,000 yuan in a medical beauty clinic to have an increase operation, he not only failed to reach the promised increase rate of the clinic, but even his normal walking became a problem. Forgetting righteousness for the benefit like this is almost a common thing in today's society. A Qingdao prawn in 38 yuan, a "sky-high-priced fish", is priced at 38,000 yuan in the barber shop. It's called losing your heart. They did not hesitate to harm the interests of customers for their own interests, and finally got the punishment they deserved.
Shen, a 75-year-old man, has successively sponsored 13 poor students. Later, the old man fell ill, and the aided students were either in poor condition and unable to take care of the old man, or stopped contacting the old man because of the interruption of funding. In today's society, how many people can be like old people, while many people forget the benefits like students. People always say that this society is very realistic. Indeed, they are willing to do anything in the face of interests. Without benefits, they will be like passers-by. They misinterpreted the relationship between morality and interests. What society needs now is people like the old. What is more needed is to know how to deal with the relationship between morality and interests. Do good things with the idea of not asking for anything in return, even if you get something in return afterwards, you will feel at ease.
Life is long, and you may help others inadvertently. Maybe it's just a small effort in your eyes, but it's great kindness in others' eyes. Accept a drop of water when necessary, and I will repay your kindness with spring water. Maybe they will search hard in the vast sea of people, try their best to repay you and make up for their guilt. Now that you have helped them, why not help them and fulfill their wishes? Then accept their reward for you.
