Who Makes Virtue Become an Obligation——Talking from the Bus Stop

Today's buses have a strange phenomenon. When there are not many people on the train in the first world, we can see that almost everyone who is in the car likes to sit behind and people who are sitting in front of them are usually sleeping headlong. , or playing with a mobile phone, I think the reason everyone knows. It's hard to get into a position. How can you easily let it go?

Some time ago, the young man in Hangzhou did not let the seat be hit by five consecutive incidents. Caused a discussion on whether to let seats on the bus.

A website has a post. The title of the post is written in this way: Bus enthusiasm is actually a bad habit for Chinese people. Tiezhong said: “First of all, I believe that when I encounter pregnant women and those who are holding babies and the children themselves are too young to stand up, I have to give seats even if I carry a sandbag with 100 pounds. According to the situation, if the elderly people are full of gray hair, have trouble walking, or even walking on crutches, I think we must make it. But there is no doubt that such old people are few, that is to say, In the bus, the old people who really need to make seats do not account for a large proportion.In the West, if you make a seat for an old man who stands without hindrance, he will feel insulted. In China, this has become a virtue, it is indeed Strange and strange ... also, .... Originally, the seat is a virtue. The so-called virtues is to demonstrate humane care on the basis of not forcing. But in China, the seat of seat has become a moral kidnapping for young people, and even emerged. It is puzzling that whoever makes virtue become an obligation?

Undoubtedly, the reason why the old man is an adult is due to ideological misconceptions. We must confuse moral obligations with legal obligations, use our moral rights as legal rights, and treat other people's moral obligations as legal obligations. Specifically speaking, in the seat of the incident, the seatee thinks that the young man should make a seat, and that seat is their legal obligation, and should not be punished if the seat is not allowed. In the specific circumstances, one's own right to obtain seats is the right that he should enjoy. Because the other party's failure to fulfill his obligations and his own rights can not be achieved, it can be achieved through a certain "compulsory means." In the mind of some of the seated objects, the young man's seat is perfectly justified, and there is no doubt that he is given a seat after getting in the car. When he meets the person who thinks that he should make a seat, he will sneak up, or open his mouth, or raise his hand. Hit people...

Of course, we must admit that taking the initiative to make seats is undoubtedly a kind of virtue. It should be vigorously promoted, actively promoted and encouraged, but it cannot be enforced in any way. Otherwise, not only can it fail to achieve social harmony, but on the contrary it will intensify social conflicts and further indifference to interpersonal relationships. If the seated object is based on a wrong understanding, it is an extremely selfish manifestation and it will seriously harm the tolerance of society.
