This article is right, and it is understandable to retaliate by means beyond the control of the law. But in the full text, there is such a sentence that I don't agree with: what if a person does evil out of sheer evil nature? At best, it's like a thorn and a rose, and it can do nothing but scratch and scratch.

There is a standard for being vicious here. If this person is devoid of humanity, it is more than scratching! I'm afraid he can do anything! There used to be such a thing: there was such a family whose children were kidnapped by people who had no grievances and no enemies, and then they asked their parents for money to help them, and their parents also gave them all the money. According to common sense.

Shouldn't they let people go? But they killed the child, killed it, boiled it, boiled it, cut it into more than 200 pieces, and finally threw it into the sewer. This should be considered vicious, right? But what they do is more than scratching!

2. Talking about Human Nature

If your nature is good, it can't be better. If it is bad, do it in the way mentioned in the article. We should all have such a life experience:

If you want to straighten an elastic bent object quickly, you need to bend in the other direction of bending, and it should be too straight. This method also plays an important role in changing nature. If a person has a bad temper, he should try his best to control it and smile, that is, bend to the other side straight.

The article also said that you can't force yourself to do one thing for too long, which will be a blessing and a curse, that is, you will gain persistence and a little mistake, and the wrong things will be deeply imprinted in your mind. Therefore, it is necessary to have an appropriate interval. That's what I do when I skateboard. After skating for a while, I felt that the level had increased a little after a few days unconsciously. But if the interval is more than a year, I feel that my level has plummeted.

No matter what you quit, you should first curb it, then naturally reduce it, and finally quit it, as the article says. Quitting smoking is like this. Originally, I smoked once every few minutes, and then I had to endure the addiction again. In a few days, the frequency of smoking will be greatly reduced. In a few months, won't you give up smoking? However, there is another point, which is also reminded in the article. The goal should not be too high or too low. Because if it is too high or too low, it will not improve, but will get worse.

3. On Beauty

It is a classic about "beauty", with concise language, profound connotation and full of philosophy. It focuses on how people should treat external beauty and internal beauty. There is a saying in the article: "The beauty of form is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of form." Therefore, it is not good to complain about your external defects. Only the inner beauty is eternal beauty.

Virtue is more important than beauty. Only by combining beauty with virtue can beauty truly shine. Nowadays, some people only pay attention to the beauty of appearance, but ignore the inner beauty. The beauty of a well-dressed person is for people to appreciate, and it is fleeting in an instant; And dignified and serious and virtuous people are awe-inspiring and immortal.

4, "On Knowledge"

Bacon said: "human nature is like wild flowers and plants, and learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that knowledge can change people's destiny and is very important in our life. In On Friendship, Bacon said: "If you tell a friend happiness, you will get two happiness;": And if you pour out your worries to a friend, you will be divided into half of them. " This shows that friends are an indispensable role around us and can add color to our lives.

5. On Jealousy

I also understand a lot. The more you get to know each other, the more jealous you will be. People can allow a stranger to make a fortune, but they can never tolerate all kinds of upward trends that make people around them. A person who is promoted step by step will not attract jealousy. Because the promotion of such people is regarded as justified.

Jealousy is the road after all in one's life, and compassion is always a good medicine to cure jealousy. A good book can make people understand a truth, a good book can build a shortcut for people, and a good book can even change the fate of people's lives! As Bacon said: "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people grave, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people eloquent", I have to affirm that, in a way, this is a good book that makes people make progress!

6. On Friendship

Bacon said: "If you tell a friend happiness, you will get two happiness;" And if you pour out your worries to a friend, you will be divided into half of your worries. "This shows that friends are an indispensable role around us.

Of course, other chapters in the book also reflect another aspect of Bacon's character-pragmatism and unprincipled opportunism. The way of being a man described in the chapters of "On Ambition" and "On Hiding from the Dark" is actually a typical bourgeois philosophy. In the titles of "On the Emperor", "On the Way to Strengthen the Country", "On the Rebellion" and "On the Noble", he stood completely on the position of the court official, aiming at introducing the ruling experience and political skills to the king.

Theme of the work

The content of Bacon's Essays involves politics, economy, religion, love, marriage, friendship, art, education and ethics, and touches almost every aspect of human life. As a philosopher and thinker with profound knowledge and understanding of the world, Bacon has thought-provoking original views on the issues he talked about.

The article in Bacon's Essays discusses his many original and incisive views on the relationship between man and society, man and himself, and man and nature from various angles, from which many people get edifying guidance, such as: "A person who has no virtue will be jealous when he sees others' virtue", "Without friendship, the world is just a wilderness", "The best preventive medicine to protect people's mental health is the advice of friends". The virtue of adversity is perseverance.

This latter is a great virtue. " Many important human life topics, such as truth, goodness, beauty, knowledge, innovation, health, habits, luck, bad luck, opportunity, courage, praise, love, family, friendship, youth and old age, selfishness, suspicion, jealousy, etc., are brilliantly discussed by Bacon. It makes people think about the road they have traveled, reminding themselves to be good at distinguishing truth, goodness and beauty from falsehood, evil and ugliness, and to create a rich life.

In these specific explanations of human character and behavior, The Collection of Essays on Essays analyzes how human character is formed. How human behavior is determined by its own primary nature, environment, habits and education; People achieve their own perfection through "dogma and speech", that is, through constant "practice in the form of habits and customs".

Regarding human nature, Bacon's Essays admits the influence of human nature on human behavior. In "On Nature", Bacon revealed: "Nature is often hidden, sometimes conquered and rarely destroyed." Human nature, whether it can be perceived or not, always exists and tries to control people.

Bacon's Essays holds that when a person is alone and has complete privacy, his nature can be most completely revealed, because he doesn't have to pretend to be himself in other social environments. When people have strong emotions, such as anger, passion, excitement, etc., his nature will be revealed, because the intense feelings make him forget to control himself.

However, just as nature always wants to control people, people, in turn, always "seek to overcome their own nature." In the struggle against one's own nature, people are frustrated by failure and encouraged by victory. For Bacon, man's conquest of his nature is not through violence or "dogma and persuasion", but through continuous "practice with help".

In addition, in the process of "practice", people should constantly reflect on themselves so as not to "practice" their own mistakes. Through introspective "practice", people can constantly overcome and improve their nature. This is just as it says: "A person's nature is like a seed, which can grow into both herbs and poisonous weeds, so people should always water the former and eradicate the latter."
