In China's authoritative cultural atmosphere, famous sayings occupy a very important position, and many famous sayings are often regarded as the best criteria to guide their outlook on life and world. However, among the famous sayings handed down for thousands of years, there are also some words that are deliberately or ignorantly distorted by people, deviating from the intention and original intention of the speaker, and confusing millions of people around the world.
1. Return good for evil
"Or, 'What is good for evil?' The Master said, "How can you repay virtue? Repay evil with straightness and good with virtue "--" The Analects of Confucius"
I never expected that Confucius' words "return good for evil" were followed by another paragraph. What words? The Master said, "Return good for evil, how can you return good?" Straight for evil, good for good!" After reading it, we woke up to the fact that we were all played by some Confucius FANS who took his words out of context!
What was the real situation? One of Confucius' disciples asked him, "Master, if someone beats me, I will not beat him. Instead, I will be kind to him and use my morality and upbringing to shame him and make him repent, OK?" Confucius said, "If you return kindness to evil, then 'How can you return kindness?' When others return kindness to you, you need to return kindness to others; But now when someone hits you, you should 'return the blame straight' and pick up a brick and fly at him!"
