Mr. Mo Yan wrote in the book “Late Bloomers”: “The ugliness of human nature is to find fault in people who are powerless, powerless, and kind, and find advantages in people who are powerful, powerful, and lack of virtue.” When powerless, powerless, and kind people are harmed, they still have to stand on the so-called moral high ground, and pretend to persuade powerless, powerless, and kind people to be patient and generous. ”

Human nature, a topic that has been discussed by countless sages since ancient times, is breathtakingly complex and multifaceted.

Mr. Mo Yan’s words, with concise and powerful brushstrokes, reveal a common and subtle phenomenon in human nature – the harsh criticism of the weak and the tolerance of the strong, which is not only a criticism of social phenomena, but also a profound analysis of the depths of human nature.

In this world, there are always some people who live silently with the kindness and innocence of their hearts, not seeking fame and fortune, but only wishing for peace of mind.

However, it is precisely this kindness and indisputability that sometimes becomes the target of others’ attacks.

It seems easier for people to find so-called “flaws” in these powerless people as a way to show their superiority or hide their inner uneasiness.

This kind of behavior is undoubtedly a manifestation of the ugliness of human nature, which allows us to see prejudice and injustice in society.

On the contrary, for those who wield power and are in high positions, even if they misbehave and are morally corrupt, people can often look at them with a tolerant and even adoring eye.

This “halo effect” not only allows their shortcomings to be downplayed, but in some cases even glorified as advantages.

This blind worship of the strong and ruthless neglect of the weak is another painful distortion of human nature.

Why is this happening?

Perhaps, it has something to do with the fear and insecurity in our hearts.

In the face of people who are stronger than ourselves, we often choose to be obedient and compromise in order to protect ourselves; In the face of seemingly harmless weaklings, we may become critical and demanding because of the excess sense of security.

In addition, factors such as social atmosphere and cultural background also invisibly affect our judgment and behavior. But in any case, this cannot be a reason for us to ignore the ugliness of human nature and condone injustice.

Faced with this mirror of humanity, we cannot choose to escape or remain silent. Instead, we should be brave enough to stand up and use our actions to impact and change the world around us.

First of all, we need to learn to treat everyone with equality and respect, regardless of their status or status.

Second, we must dare to say “no” to injustice, remain vigilant against the powerful, and give care and support to the weak.

Finally, we must constantly improve our moral cultivation and judgment, and strive to become a person with a conscience and a sense of justice.

In my personal life, I have been in a similar situation. Once, I witnessed a kind colleague being ostracized and ridiculed by some colleagues because of his introverted personality and poor words.

At that moment, I was deeply saddened and angry. I did not choose to remain silent, but took the initiative to stand up for him, support him with practical actions, and encourage him.

As long as each of us can start from the small things around us and warm the world with love and justice, then the ugliness of human nature will eventually have nowhere to hide.

Despite all the ugliness and distortions in human nature, we must not lose our belief in and pursuit of a better humanity. As Mr. Mo Yan said, the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature also breeds infinite possibilities and hopes.

As long as we have the courage to face and change, then in this era full of challenges and opportunities, we will be able to create a more just, harmonious and beautiful world together.
