Do not do evil things though they may be insignificant. Do not give up
virtuous things though they may be minor matters
In Chinese, ancient sages say: "Do not do evil things though they may
be insignificant. Do not give up virtuous things though they may be minor
matters." This proverb suggests that anything we ought to do anything what we
should do and not to do anything what we shouldn't do. This is a topic that is
taught by our teachers and parents, and most of us identify with this proverb
that is full of wisdom. Why I agree with it is that anything we do has its own
effects on others in many aspects that is unique and can't be replaced.
Whatever we do in certain occasions, they have their own meanings in
the world which are unique, because the times, the locations, and the people
who are involved in them are the same as none. When one thing is done, it must
have various effects which are subtle or grave, thus, their consequent
influences on other things and other people may be hard to be estimated. That
is to say, don't perceive things with their superficial results only, but with
a full perspective on surrounding situations. For example, when one helpes a
small restaurant to save a plastic bag by stuffing the food into his own
shopping bag, the amount of all resources he save may be little; however,
someone who catch sight of his deed many be influenced by him a little. If he
really keep it a practice, those whom are moved by him accumulates gradually,
and the climate of taking shopping bags when going outdoor may be much more
pervasive. In addition, the principles our teachers say to us and the morals
our parents enlighten us may commonplace words, which make children and
teenagers feel dull. However, it is just because of their gradual enlightment
that many students went astray turn over a new. Reversely, do not give up
virtuous things though they may be minor matters, and the reason is given
above. For example, to throw a little trash, such as a piece of paper, on
streets when it is inconvenient to put it into a trashcan, may be of no gravity
to the townscape. However, if all citizens take it for granted, the townscape
is rapidly deteriorated.
The topic of this article is good to be perceived in cultral aspects.
In this way, the intention of it is much more manifest. The value of whatever
we do is always floating and not fixed, through everyone's mind is changeable.
The deeds of some people are of little value for someone, but they be very more
significant for some others, with the change of their mind and different
occasions. In conclusion, we should have a breadth of mind not to give up
virtuous things through they may be insignificant. If more people can do
something according it, the effect may accumulate into a much huger one and
does good to the society.
