E. Famous examples of giving and taking

1. Original text

Mencius said: "Fish is what I want, and bear's paws are what I want." You can't have both. You're giving up the fish to get the bear's paw. Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. You're giving up life to get the righteousness. , What I want is more than life, so I won’t get it just because I want it; death is also what I hate, and what I hate is more than the dead, so I can’t get rid of it.

If there is nothing more that people want to do than live, then why not use anything that can lead to life? There is nothing that people can hate more than the dead, then if there is anything that can be done to save the sick, why not do it? Because This is because it is born with something that is not used. Therefore, it is possible to avoid trouble without doing anything. Therefore, what one desires is more than the living, and what one hates is more than the dead. Not only sages have this mind, but everyone has it. A sage will not lose his ears.

A basket of food, a bean soup, if you get it, you will live, if you don't get it, you will die. If you give it to you if you call it, those who practice Tao will not accept it; if you give it to you, beggars will look down upon it. Wan Zhong accepts it without discerning etiquette and justice. How can thousands of bells be of any use to me? For the sake of the beauty of my palace, the support of my wife and concubines, I have acquired them for those who know me to be poor, and now I have done them for the sake of those I know to be poor. Is this not enough? This is called losing one's original intention.

2. Source

This article is excerpted from "Mencius Gaozi 1". The "original heart" should not be underestimated, because they are the budding forms of morality such as benevolence, justice, propriety, and wisdom. They develop in the direction of the "original heart" and carry it forward, thereby becoming a morally perfect person.

Therefore, looking at the full text of "Gao Zixia", this article talks about everyone having an "original heart", and no matter what the circumstances, people should keep their "original heart". As long as the "original heart" is there, people can withstand the test even in life and death situations; but if the "original heart" is lost, people will do things that are detrimental to their personality.

3. Translation

Fish is what I like to eat, and bear paws are what I also like to eat. If I can’t eat both, then I will give up the fish and choose bear paws. Life is what I pursue, and righteousness is what I pursue, so I will give up my life and stick to righteousness. I will never choose to live an idle life; although death is what I hate, when something more abominable than death happens, I will not avoid it even in the face of disaster.

A basket of rice and a bowl of soup, for a starving person, can survive if they get it, but if they don't get it, they will starve to death. However, no matter how hungry a passerby is if you give someone food without polite shouting, he or she will not accept it; if you kick someone's food with your feet, even a beggar will find it difficult to accept it. But now, some people accept Wan Zhong's salary without asking whether it is in line with etiquette and justice.

Actually, what can this generous treatment bring to me? Is it because I have a gorgeous house, the service of wives and concubines, and the worship of others? Is it because of these buildings, beauties and flattery? With the emergence of death, those things that we once rejected compared to death have become acceptable? Is this true? Such an approach can only mean that a person has lost the true nature of his soul. (5) Extended reading of the stories of famous people who gave up and gained

Desire is human nature. , and is also an important force in promoting social progress. However, desire is a beast that is difficult to tame, and it often makes it difficult for us to grasp the give-and-take of life. Sometimes you think you have gained something, but later on, you may lose more; sometimes you think you have lost it, but later on, you may gain more.

However, those who give up their own interests and think about others and the collective are always welcomed and admired by people. As the saying goes: Autumn rain is rare but not spring breeze. Yes, only with your sincere dedication can you gain the trust and support of others.

Being willing is a kind of spirit; being willing is a kind of understanding; being willing is a kind of maturity; being willing is a kind of wisdom and a state of life. Let us learn to cherish and know how to give up: give up hypocrisy to get a sense of reality; give up boredom to get a sense of fulfillment; give up impetuousness to get a sense of steadiness, regard work as a pleasant thing, and regard interacting with others as a It is a wonderful enjoyment, this kind of life is a happy life; this kind of life is a harmonious and happy life!
