I've encountered some headache stuff, wondering what's my move - "An eye for an eye", or the law of retaliation, is the principle that a person who has injured another person is to be penalized to a similar degree, or in softer interpretations, the victim receives the [estimated] value of the injury in compensation.
Exodus 21:24
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, …23"But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Matthew 5:38…
38"You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'39"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.…
Why is that absurdity? You got Kneed down for bad and unfair treatment? Why? In reality, Chinese wisdom said similar things, as described blow. - 老規矩還不能走: 積善積德為現代社會的精神標杆和契約 - When you're young, it's hard to swallow, but you can if you're older.
舉報 [5]李勝文 2014-6-30 13:56 Sound so complicated! How can one do that? Can you give me an example to illustrate how it works?舉報 [4]王小平 2014-6-30 12:59 “自利利他”是一種博弈,並非先有“利他->自利”,或者“自利->利他”, 而是一種取向,所謂的“雙贏”或“多贏”。在博弈論中,重複的博弈演化的穩定結果可以很好解釋這個社會問題,單一的博弈肯定是會選擇“自利”,然後再選擇“自利—>利他”,多次的博弈的話選擇“自利利他”就比較符合人性,佛學中也被視為“慈悲”的一麵。舉報 [3]李勝文 2014-6-30 02:54 Thanks for your elaboration. Christian talks about "All for one, one for all." But, 佛學中所謂“自利利他” - got be the other way around - “利他--> 自利" - if one can't think about other - hard to work with. Do you think?舉報 [2]王小平 2014-6-29 22:59 古人認為,“君子坦蕩蕩”,必須有智、仁、勇為三德 。孔子說:“仁者不憂,智者不惑,勇者不懼”。如今提倡“人人為我,我為人人”,佛學中所謂“自利利他”,都是積善積德,為現代社會的精神標杆和契約。舉報 [1]呂喆 2014-6-28 11:13 HOLD在悟。 博主回複(2014-6-29 01:50):Like what you said: 事實上,“老規矩”本身蘊含著人生智慧、行為規範和人際交往的經驗總結,恪守“老規矩”,固然會在自己感到拘束的同時又給了旁人一個因循守舊的印象,但卻可以避免出現對自己非常不利的人際狀況。試想,如果一個人吃飯的時候總在菜盤裏亂翻吃相難看,平時“坐沒坐相站沒站相”亂說亂動,又經常枉顧他人的隱私和習慣亂翻別人的東西(包括電腦和手機),甚至行蹤無定而常與父母親友同事“失聯”,無疑都會嚴重損害其公眾形象,讓周圍人都覺得其人“不靠譜”。反之,如果我們在生活中注意類似的許多細節,則會給旁人留下很好的印象,避免很多不必要的麻煩甚至危險。所以說,“老規矩”還不能走。
