如果对待事物不加入意义
(本文说的是对待事物不赋予意义,人活着也就没有意义)
东汉经学家赵岐说:
物,事也。[1]
他没有把物只当做物,把物和人联系在一起当成事。
良知赋予事物意义,王阳明说:
心即理也,此心无私欲之蔽,即是天理……以此纯乎天理之心,发之事父便是孝,发之事君便是忠,发之交友、治民便是信与仁。[2]
如果对待事物不加入意义,那么一个人杀了另一个人,从纯物质角度看,只是将另一个人的物质重组了,二战日军杀南京人和希特勒杀了犹太人,只是将被杀的人物质重组了,被杀的人被火化,只是物质大部分变轻扩散走了,剩下少部分的物质(骨灰)回到泥土里面再次被生物吸收重组,那我们为什么认为这些行为是坏的而不是只认为是物质在做重组而已呢?因为如果人只从物质看世界,世界就没有任何意义,包括人活着也没有意义,马上自裁和活到自然死亡没有区别只是在进行物质重组,之所以我们认为这些行为是坏的,因为我们有是非之心——良知。
法律总有管不了的地方,一个人驾车撞了另一个人,没有被别人和监控看见的条件下,他知道他不会获得惩罚的条件下,他肇事逃逸了,他无需赔偿。或者被撞人重伤没死,司机为了赔的少,他进行二次碾压压死这个人,他赔款的少了。只从物质角度看这两个案例,司机的物质没有被惩罚变得减少,但是只从物质角度看,他和每一个进行类似行为的人终其一生有何意义?只是物质跟平时一样一直在进行重组。但是从精神和意识的角度看,他才是行恶做了坏事。
古代在荒山野岭有人杀人越货,有谁能知道?
没有网约车的信息记录的时候,乘客没留出租车信息而遗漏重要物品在出租车上,司机不提醒私吞在合适的时候使用,有谁能知道?
顾客说饭菜有问题要求重上,厨师于是在暗处往饭菜里吐痰,厨师以外有谁能知道此事对厨师做出惩罚?
有什么可以制止这种行为?答案是他们自己的良知。
如果说世界是由物质或能量构成的,那么精神和意识就是属于高级物质或者高级能量,我们传统认为的物质就是中、低级物质或能量了,高级物质比中低级物质或能量重要。
人类在历史上追求只将个人的中、低级物质或能量增加,只从中、低级物质或能量的角度左右世界,犯了无数的错误,以有意义的领域的最高学问致是非之心良知为主义,人就有了活着的意义和价值!如果不追求意义,那人活着有什么意义?
司马迁也说:
人固有一死,或重于泰山,或轻于鸿毛。[3]

"If you treat things without adding meaning"
(This article is about treating things without giving meaning, so people have no meaning when they live)
The Eastern Han Confucianist Zhao Qi said:
Things, things too. [^ 3]
He didn't treat things as things, but connected things with people as things.
Conscience gives meaning to things, Wang Yangming said:
The heart is the reason, and the heart is not covered by selfish desire, which is the heavenly principle ... In this way, the heart of the heavenly principle is pure, the father is filial, the king is loyal, and the friendship and governance of the people are Faith and kindness. [^ 2]
If you do not add meaning to things, then one person kills another person. From the perspective of pure material, it just reorganizes the other person ’s material. The World War II Japanese army killed Nanjing and Hitler killed the Jews, but only the material of the person who was killed. Reorganized, the killed people were cremated, but most of the material became light and diffused away, and a small part of the material (bone ashes) returned to the soil to be absorbed and reorganized by the organism again. Why do we think these behaviors are bad instead of Just think that the material is reorganizing? Because if people only look at the world from the material, the world has no meaning, including human beings alive and meaningless, there is no difference between self-discipline and living to natural death, but only in material reorganization. The reason why we think these actions are bad, because we have Heart of right and wrong-conscience.
There is always a place where the law can't be managed. One person drove a car and hit another person. Without being seen by others and surveillance, he knew that he would not be punished. He ran away from the accident and he didn't need to pay compensation. Or the victim was seriously injured and did not die. In order to pay less, the driver crushed and killed this person twice. He paid less. Looking at these two cases only from a material point of view, the driver's material has been reduced without being punished, but from a material point of view, what is the meaning of his life with everyone who performs similar behavior? It's just that the material has been undergoing reorganization as usual. But from the perspective of spirit and consciousness, he did evil and did bad things.
In the ancient times, there were people killing and killing goods in barren mountains and wild mountains. Who can know?
When there is no information about the online car-hailing, passengers have left the taxi information and missed important items on the taxi. The driver does not remind the private to use it at the right time. Who can know?
The customer said that there was a problem with the food, and the chef asked for more attention. The chef spit into the food in the dark. Can anyone outside the chef know how to punish the chef?
What can stop this behavior? The answer is their own conscience.
If the world is made of matter or energy, then the spirit and consciousness belong to high-level matter or high-level energy. The matter we traditionally think of is middle- and low-level matter or energy.
Mankind has historically pursued only increasing the individual ’s medium and low-level matter or energy, and only controlling the world from the perspective of middle- and low-level matter or energy. , People have the meaning and value of being alive! If you do not pursue meaning, what is the meaning of that person alive?
Sima Qian also said:
A person is inherently dead, heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao. [^ 1]
