What happened to human feelings? Is there a necessary relationship between human feelings and corruption?

First, the excuse of corrupt officials

Zhu, the former deputy mayor of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment 10 year for accepting bribes and abusing his power. At the trial of the first instance, Zhu argued: "These people have a good relationship with me, and many of the money I received was sent by them in the name of' human feelings'." Some corrupt officials often talk about "human feelings" after falling off the horse, as if their corruption was caused by human feelings.

There are three obvious characteristics to distinguish between human relations and bribery in the usual sense: first, the amount obviously exceeds the general amount of human relations; Second, the card issuer has business dealings with the card receiver, and the card issuer has obvious requirements; Third, the cardholder only accepts and does not return, which does not have the characteristics of equal balance of human relations.

Ordinary people's human relations, that is, about the' Mao Mao rain', who will easily send thousands or tens of thousands? Imagine, if the person in power retires, will there be so many people who "socialize" with him during the holidays?

Corrupt officials exchange power for human feelings. The so-called "human relationship" is just an excuse for corrupt officials!

Second, human feelings have deteriorated into corruption.

It is not impossible for an entrepreneur to make friends with government officials. However, it is actually a kind of false human feelings to obtain various benefits through human feelings and treat human feelings as hidden rules. When it comes to bribery, this is a legal issue.

On the surface, in some areas, giving gifts is a kind of "folk custom". In fact, it was "forced" by local corrupt officials, and the people had to do the same.

I often encounter the testimony of the project undertaker when handling cases: many things need their signature and approval, which will give some benefits, so that there will be no embarrassment in the process of project construction and subsequent payment.

Third, there is nothing wrong with human feelings.

There is a phenomenon in China's real society. For example, an official's relatives live a clean and honest life, and people who stay away from him will probably say that he is good! However, people close to him can't "exchange things for food" under his banner. They will probably say that he is selfish and cares about his relatives.

This is an eternal human problem in China society. The truth is right or wrong at a glance; But in reality, people's behavior in the humanistic environment is often not so clear. The official's upright adherence to principles deserves respect, but in reality many people can't get along with human relations. As his relatives said, "it's all like this now", which tells another answer to reality. In the current social environment, what is the effect of relying only on the ideological consciousness and moral integrity of officials to resist? Therefore, it has been suggested that the tradition of human society in China should be changed.

Not to mention that it takes decades to reform a country's economy, and it may take hundreds of years to change a nation's cultural psychology. As the inherent logic of China people's life since ancient times, should the concept of human feelings be changed? Is this all human's fault?

Human feelings are China's eternal wisdom. China is the only ancient civilization in two thousand years, and the role of human feelings in maintaining social stability cannot be ignored. Dynasties can change, human feelings never change, and society can survive. Blood ties and warm human feelings are a tradition that the Chinese nation is proud of. Don't forget that in those years we criticized the cold interpersonal relationship of capitalism; Nowadays, advocating learning from Lei Feng also contains the yearning for social sentiment. Therefore, how to get rid of the fetters of the rule of man on the road of pursuing the rule of law is questioned and criticized by human society.

China's traditional society runs on two tracks, one is law and the other is human feelings. These two tracks are not parallel but sometimes cross. For example, the old saying that "the law is nothing more than human feelings" and the old saying that "it is not a crime for relatives to hide". Confucianism advocates that "human feelings should be dealt with according to heaven", while folks have the saying that "human feelings are greater than heaven". It is not only based on the natural nature of human nature, but also because of the unity of justice and benefit. Therefore, the ancient China society was a human society; The rule of man in ancient times was to some extent the rule of human feelings.

So from ancient times to the present, we have seen that human feelings are related; If there is a relationship, there will be discussion; There is flexibility when there is negotiation; If there is flexibility, the legal system will be discounted. Then return the favor, there will be an exchange of interests; Fixed interests become alliance circles; In the circle, show mercy but don't talk about the law; By extension, the whole society is talking about human feelings rather than Buddhism.

Modern countries ruled by law also pay attention to contacts and personnel origins. American politics includes skull and bones and Japanese aristocratic politics, while western countries have political interest groups and interest exchanges. In the past, American presidents "rewarded" ambassadors to wealthy donors in campaigns. Although criticized, it cannot be said that the United States is human politics. Because the operating rules are transparent and the authorization procedures are open and legal. Therefore, it can be concluded that it is not human feelings that hinder the rule of law in China, but the lack of open and transparent rules, black-box operation of power and real supervision in the whole society.

As mentioned in the previous example, even if relatives go foraging, as long as the procedures are complete and the process is open, money can be earned with peace of mind, and officials themselves can be aboveboard and not avoid suspicion. Everything is in the sun, which can prevent corrosion and detoxify. Of course, to achieve this step, it is not only one-sided disclosure and fault disclosure of a single field and single matter, but also a set of disclosure systems including power operation disclosure, budget disclosure and official personal information disclosure.

Only when the government is truly supervised by the people can decisions be made through open discussion and power be exercised in an open and transparent manner, and the results can be directly judged and tested by the public. This is the only way for contemporary China society to move towards a modern country ruled by law while maintaining good human relations.
