How Mengzi came up with something better than the Golden Rule – Eric Schwitzgebel | Aeon Ideas

The Golden Rule says put yourself in another’s shoes. But what if we do as Mengzi did, and just love them as our own?

孟子說：“夫人必自侮而後人侮之”。 孟子高度重視人 格的自我價值，對自賤人格嚴詞指斥，對改造社會弊端，糾正歪惡歪風有防閒作用，是用以 發揚正氣的銳利思想武器。

上善與國，美美與共，財富絲路，善美世界

Goodness binds country,
beauty of togetherness,
wealth in the path of silk road, and beautify the world with kindness...上善與國，美美與共，財富絲路，善美世界

Goodness binds country,
beauty of togetherness,
wealth in the path of silk road, and beautify the world with kindness.

“上善”，不僅僅是一種境界標準，更應該是讓一個國家，“舉國皆善”，讓一個國家人人成為“上善之國”，孟子，是有社會使命感與責任感，並進行 社會實踐的。

與人為善，善待他人，是人們在尋求成功的過程中應該遵守的一條基本準則。 在當今這樣一個需要合作的社會中，人與人之間更是一種互動的關係。 我們去善待別人、幫助別人，才能處理好人際關係，從而獲得他人的愉快合作。 這，就是“上善與國，美美與共，財富絲路，善美世界”的“心態”。

"Supreme goodness" is not only a standard of realm, but also to make a country "good for the whole country", so that everyone in a country becomes a "country of goodness." Mengzi has a sense of social mission and responsibility, and carries on  Social practice.

Practice kindness with others and being kind to others is a basic rule that people should abide by in the process of seeking success.  In today's society that requires cooperation, people are even more interactive.  Only when we treat and help others can we handle interpersonal relationships well and obtain the pleasant cooperation of others.  This is the "good end" and "mentality" of "goodness binds country, beauty of togetherness, wealth in the path of silk road, and beauty of the world".

以善為義、以善為榮、以善為樂

Take kindness as righteousness, take kindness as glory, take kindness as happiness.

向上向善力量的形成需要營造培育與踐行社會善文化的良好氛圍。 文化教化人、培育人、導引人，有社會善文化才能形成社會善力量。 當前社會善文化的培育，首要應培育家庭善文化，形成家教、家風向善力量。 善文化的教化需要從小孩培育起，在小孩的成長過程中應該不斷踐行愛和善，避免形成唯我、自私、利己等心理狀態。 孝文化在現時代要注重人的感恩、關懷、責任、奉獻等品性的培育與弘揚。 在社會善文化建設上，要發揮主流文化的核心導引力，形成以善為義、以善為榮、以善為樂的價值導引體系。 從民眾善的心理—情感的覺悟培育起，自律、愛人、利人，推己及人，喚起良知、呵護良知。 其中，汲取弘揚中華傳統善文化精華，對培育多民族善文化的自覺與認同至關重要。 由善的心理—情感至善文化、文明，再到善的行為、善的價值的認同與踐行，最終形成社會善文化價值實踐的整體氛圍。 要充分發揮文化傳播導引力。 在戲曲、影視、文藝創作等方面，將傳播真善美合一的正能量作為創作的立足點。 在媒體融合發展的環境下，將善文化作為底色，形成共傳、共贊善人、善事、善情的輿論氛圍。 政府的大力倡導、民眾的共同參與、輿論的共同彰顯才能形成向上向善力量的聚氣合力，將中華千年百代的善文化在新全球時代發揚光大。

The formation of the upward force for kind needs to create a kindness atmosphere for cultivating and practicing social kind culture.  Culture instructs people, nurtures people, and guides people. Only a social kind culture can form social kindness forces.  The cultivation of the current social kindness culture should firstly cultivate the family kind culture and form the power of family education and family tradition to promote kindness.  The cultivation of kind culture needs to start with the cultivation of children, and they should constantly practice love and kindness during the growth of children to avoid the formation of solipsism, selfishness, and self-interest.  The culture of filial piety should pay attention to the cultivation and promotion of people's attributes such as gratitude, care, responsibility, and dedication.  In the construction of social kindness culture, it is necessary to give play to the core guiding force of mainstream culture, and form a value guiding system in which kindness is righteous, kindness is proud, and kindness is happy.  Starting from the people’s benevolent psychology-emotional awareness, self-discipline, love and benefit, promote oneself and others, arouse conscience and protect conscience.  Among them, absorbing and promoting the essence of Chinese traditional kindness culture is essential to cultivate the consciousness and identity of the national kindness culture.  From the psychology of kindness—emotion to kind culture and civilization, then to the recognition and practice of good behavior and good value, the overall atmosphere of social kindness cultural value practice is finally formed.  It is necessary to give full play to the guiding force of cultural communication.  In opera, film and television, literary and artistic creation, etc., spread the positive energy of the unity of truth, kindness and beauty as the foothold of creation.  In the environment of the integration and development of the media, the culture of kindness is used as the background color to form a public opinion atmosphere of sharing, praising good people, good deeds, and good sentiments.  The government's vigorous advocacy, the common participation of the people, and the common manifestation of public opinion can form a cohesive force of upward force for good, and carry forward the thousands years of Chinese kindness culture in the new global era.

孟子強調了人的主觀能動性，“禍福無不自己求之者……《太甲》曰：'天作孽，猶可違；自作孽，不可活'”，“天時不如地利，地利不如人和。  ……域民不以封疆之界，固國不以山溪之險，威天下不以兵革之利。得道者多助，失道者寡助。”孟子認為人性善，“人皆有不忍 之心。惻隱之心，仁之端也；羞惡之心，義之端也；辭讓之心，禮之端也；是非之心，智之端也。”“凡有四端於我者，知皆擴 而充之矣，若火之始然，泉之始達。苟能充之，足以保四海；苟不充之，不足以事父母。”他一心嚮往充滿仁愛的理想社會，“老吾老，以及人 之老；幼吾幼，以及人之幼。天下可運於掌。”

 　　注重道德修養，夯實事業成就發展的基礎，是孟子十分重視強調並身體力行的。 他從不同方面、多個角度闡述如何修身涵性，“愛人不親反其仁，治人不治反其智，禮人不答反其敬。行有不得者皆反求諸己，其身正 而天下歸之。詩云：'永言配命，自求多福'。”他認為，生活中常常“有不虞之譽，有求全之毀”，做人要心胸寬廣，而不要自以為是，“人 之患在好為人師”。 交朋友要“不挾長，不挾貴，不挾兄弟而友。友也者，友其德也，不可以有挾也”。

當然，孟子還有許多精闢的思想和言論，不可能一一例舉，但見一斑而知全豹，從孟子一生的實踐和成就來講，其思想依然閃爍真理的光輝，在日新月異發展的今天， 依然值得我們不斷學習。
