Bite your finger and feel sad.

Zeng Shen, a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was a proud disciple of Confucius. He is called "Ceng Zi" and is famous for his filial piety. When I was a teenager, my family was poor and I often went to the mountains to collect firewood. One day, there were guests at home, and my mother was at a loss and bit her finger with her teeth. Zeng Shen suddenly felt distressed. Knowing that his mother was calling him, he hurried home with firewood on his back and knelt down to ask why. Mother said, "Suddenly a guest came, and I bit my finger. I hope you will come back." Zeng Shen received the guests and treated them with courtesy. The well-read Zeng Shen once put forward the cultivation method of "I will save myself in three days" (The Analects of Confucius Learning). According to legend, his works include Confucian classics such as "The University" and "The Book of Filial Piety". Later, Confucianism honored him as "Zongsheng".

Zhong You, Zi and Lu Ji, who were born in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, were proud disciples of Confucius. He is straightforward, brave and very filial. In the early years, my family was poor, and I often picked wild vegetables to cook, but I went home from a hundred miles away to serve my parents. After his parents died, he became a big official and was ordered to go to Chu, with hundreds of chariots and horses and accumulated as much as 10 thousand grain. Sitting on a piled brocade mattress and eating a sumptuous banquet, he often misses his parents and laments, "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables, where can I get them?" Confucius praised: "You served your parents best when you were alive, but you missed them after you died!" " (Thoughts on Confucius' Family Language)

Many people gave generously to the 0 1 Wenchuan earthquake. However, I saw a negative news in the newspaper: "The Olympic torchbearers in a certain area bypassed the donation box and put an empty hand next to the box without donating anything." This incident caused an uproar in the society. Yes, they have donated money, but several reporters didn't take pictures, so there was a heated discussion, including accusations, shouting and scolding. After investigation, the torchbearer set off again and walked away. This incident made the torchbearers very depressed, people were puzzled and the society was full of doubts. How can this reporter do this? I feel very angry. The media should serve the people and let them know more about society, but they reported such a news. What's the difference between reporting fake news? This is a joke about the interests of the people in the disaster area, a disrespect for the torchbearers and a serious damage to the social image! Seeking truth from facts is the basic expression of morality, but this media can't even do this morality. How to talk about credibility?

The rich man's son was cheated for doing business with his friends. The rich man's son is very upset. He said, I didn't expect "he" to be that kind of person. We used to get along very well. The rich man comforted his son and warned him that everyone has his own moral bottom line. When the outside temptation breaks through his moral bottom line, he will subvert the traditional moral standards.

After listening to this, my son still looked puzzled. The rich man said, we might as well do an experiment. The son nodded.

The rich man took his son to see a businessman. A's appearance room is not big, and A is drinking tea leisurely. The rich man won A's initial trust, and the rich man said, I have a batch of goods that I want to cooperate with you. Do you want to sell them? The businessman rolled his eyes and looked suspicious. The rich man said, give me money after selling the goods. Anyway, a monk can't run out of the temple. The rich man pretended to be relaxed and glanced at the facade room rented by A.

The business is done. The rich put goods worth 1000 yuan in A's shop.

Subsequently, the rich man led his son to find businessman B with a slightly larger facade and businessman C with a slightly larger facade. Both of them put 654.38+0.00000 yuan in their stores.

A month later, businessman C took the lead in finding a rich man. His shop is very big and its turnover is very fast. C paid back the money and offered to buy more goods from the rich man. Soon, Businessman B and Businessman A came to pay back the money. Without exception, they all asked the rich man to get more goods. The rich man gave goods of 30,000 yuan. The son said that they still keep their word and should give them more goods. The rich still just smile.

After another month, businessman C took the lead in paying back the money and offered to purchase more goods. Later, businessman B also came and offered to buy more goods. Merchant a didn't come. The rich man took his son to A's shop, but it was empty. My son said that he really broke his word. The rich man said nothing.

This time, the rich man gave businessman C and businessman B 50,000 yuan each. The son said that they are still honest and should pay more. The rich man laughed without a word.

A month later, businessman C took the lead in paying back the money. It is also proposed to buy more goods. Businessman b didn't come. The rich man took his son to merchant B's shop, but it was empty. The son was surprised and said, why is he so dishonest? It seems that only businessman C is doing big business, which is reliable! The rich gave the businessman c80,000 yuan on credit. 1 month later, C pays back the money on time.

The rich man gave credit to the merchant C 654.38+0.5 million yuan. 1 month later, C pays back the money on time.

The rich man gave the businessman a loan of 300 thousand yuan. After a month, C didn't come to pay back the money.

My son said that there must be a special reason for C. How could a man of integrity like him not come? The rich man quietly took his son to merchant C's shop, but it was already empty. The son was even more surprised and said, how can people do this?

The rich man said, I have quantified people's moral bottom line into numbers. You got it? The moral bottom line of merchant A is 30,000 yuan; Businessman b's moral bottom line is 50 thousand yuan; Businessman C is honest, but he also has a moral bottom line of 300,000. This is human nature. But don't worry, I expected them to do this, and now they are preparing to accept my lawyer's letter and wait for the legal trial!

Then, the son sighed, man! People!

The rich man said, "I spent 380 thousand yuan to teach you something about human nature, which I think is worth it."
