For those who are vested interests, they do not have such feeling of the injustice and inequality.

 


Author: Tao Qing Hsu (Hsu, Tao-qing) 

 

 

The concept of freedom, equality and human right is occurred in 17 century. The definition of the concept of freedom, equality and human right is more progressive and open-minded in modern time. And it is amended following the change of time. However, it is still the limited freedom, equality and human right under some kind of conditions. Most of women are still despised or bullied in the family, society and workplace, even to be ignored by the government.

 

For the young man and the elder, they also have more feeling about that they are despised or ignored in the society. The problems of the elder being abused and children being abused, or the women being abused are mostly happened in the closed-minded family or the society, or the country.

 

For those who are vested interests, they do not have such feeling of the injustice and inequality. Only for those who are deprived of human power, right and interests, they would strongly have the feeling of the injustice and inequality.

To self close the path of self-wealth is the result of self-injustice.



Writer: Tao Qing Hsu


There is a Chinese saying, ”There is the justice in the heaven and land. ” Since the ancient time of China, no matter the emperor or the citizen, once they can obey the justice of heaven and land to treat people, they believe that the god of heaven and land would not bring disaster to them. But, if they cannot obey the justice of heaven and land, it is impossible for them to avoid any disaster and punishment from the god of heaven and land.

Therefore, most people believe that, when we do the good thing, we will get the good repay from the heaven and land. However, if we do the evil thing, we will have the evil retribution. Even the nobility, the emperor, the officer, the boss and the businessman, they don’t dare to bully people. Once they own the evil heart to bully people, it is also the time to close their wealth, even to close their life.

The most Chinese people respect the heaven and land. That is because they believe that the gods of heaven and land represent the sentient beings. Meanwhile, the Chinese traditional virtue is the mercifulness. The Chinese people also believe that the gods of heaven and land are unified with human beings. Therefore, to respect the heaven and land is to respect the sentient beings. It is also meant to respect self. Such virtue is corresponding to the Buddhism. That is also one of the reasons that Buddhism can be developed well in the history of China.

Some people complain that why the god treats them unfairly or why they cannot get rid of the poverty. If we observe these people carefully, we can find that there is the self-injustice existed in their heart. Even though they use a lot of methods or words to cover it, or they decorate any phenomenon happened by the self-injustice, what they have done by self-injustice existed in their heart still can't escape heaven's eyes. To close the path of wealth is not from the god, but from the self. That is, to close the path of self-wealth is the result of self-injustice. We should be alert to this.
