Is human nature inherently evil or good?
In the beginning, there was no such thing as good or evil. There was only "survival by any means necessary". All living things in nature follow this basic law. To survive in nature, there is only one logic: protect yourself and destroy others. Carnivores brutally kill docile herbivores in order to get food to survive. In order to get sunlight, the vine climbed round and round the tree, and finally strangled the tree to death. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, as a member of the food chain, you must participate in the food chain. What? You're afraid to kill and do evil and you won't eat? Starve to death is only you, without you the earth turns. The same applies to a moral human society. In the beginning, people do not know what is good and evil, only understand that they want to survive. We analyze all the "evil" behavior of children, in fact, is to survive by hook or by crook. Is it evil for a child to cry and make a big news in a public place and force his parents to compromise just to buy snacks? It's just a matter of doing whatever it takes to get what you want. In primary school, stupid classmates are discriminated against, weak children are bullied, this is evil? It's the same way in nature that the old, the sick and the sick are expelled from their communities first to fend for themselves. According to the moral standard of human beings, human beings are evil at the beginning, but this evil is only the survival instinct brought by nature to any living creature, not the real evil. So we need education, teaching children to behave, not to throw in public places; Respect other children and don't fight. See the ants on the ground move not to die for fun...... In the process of children's growth, we slowly replace the wild in children's hearts with the moral concepts established by human civilization, and teach children to be good. It is only when children become adults and have a complete moral concept that there is good and evil. Human moral civilization does not appear out of thin air, but on the basis of strong enough development, no longer in order to survive and after the establishment of blood. Some people in order not to kill and vegetarians, because only vegetarians do not have to worry about starving to death; We care for the disadvantaged without the ability to work, because resources are abundant enough for them to share in the pie; We support gay equality because they do not produce children and do not threaten the continuation of human civilization... Whenever human society regressed and human existence was threatened, the original "evil" was clearly revealed. In times of war different races slaughtered each other, in times of famine some people even cooked their own children to eat... When life is at stake, it's not evil to do whatever it takes to survive. The Criminal law provides that when life is threatened, a person has the right to kill a person who threatens him in self-defense. In all kinds of disaster movies, people are in chaos, and those who were originally good people have become extremely selfish, just want to run away and live a little longer. If the earth is to be destroyed, aliens can only take away 100 Earth people to keep the seed, the rest have to die, then these 100 people must be the most genetically excellent, the most healthy and intelligent young men and women of all races, at that time all moral goodwill is invalid, back to the most primitive natural selection. That is to say, the fact that we are here to discuss this issue objectively is in itself an act of standing still. But the idea that human nature will do whatever it takes to survive continues to manifest itself in varying degrees even after entering civilized society. Like greed. People always want endless resources, which in modern society take the form of money. So there is official corruption, there is a rush of investors, there is burglary... Like jealousy. There is only one Monkey King, each male monkey are covetously, looking for a chance to defeat him himself as king, so men have the right to infighting, there is an uprising to declare emperor. Every female monkey wants to get the Monkey King's favor, so women have court intrigue, have secretly called each other. Of course, even in the modern world, people are extremely selfish. Factories, in order to save their own costs, discharge sewage into public rivers; Small workshops turn spoiled meat and gutter oil into food and sell it, regardless of the health of those who eat it. Bad drivers run red lights just to save a few seconds... Modern civilization defines such actions as evil, and good only occurs when the cost of doing evil is higher than the benefit. The self-interested nature of man cannot be defeated by the so-called social responsibility education alone, so we need a strict legal system. If there is no civilized moral constraints, no sanctions of laws and regulations, people's desire is endless, will eventually bring disaster and destruction. In a way, human civilization, in its unbridled development, is essentially the same as bacteria, which multiply in two. So if you have to choose one, I believe that human nature is inherently evil, but this original evil, which is necessary for living creatures to have, can not be called evil.

On a whim, I signed up for an interpretation class. One of the teachers was about 30 years old. She was very beautiful, dressed in fashion, and had great interpretation skills. Later, she learned that she majored in history in college and was a public relations manager in a company. Her son was five years old, so she had to go to work, do housework and take care of the child every day. Different from us, she has the second-level interpretation certificate of the Personnel Department, has the task of translating conferences everywhere every month, and doubles as the tutor of this interpretation center. Open her blog, has updated more than 500 pages, there are more than 2000 posts, all are her own interpretation practice every day, an average of two long and a short article, she insisted on doing this for nearly 10 years, she is not a professional background because of her love of English and has been working hard. I admired her and she said that 10 years ago, she had read a survey report that a person needs to practice for 10,000 hours without a break to master a skill and become an expert. At the time, she calculated that it would take seven years for someone to master the skill if they practiced five hours a day, 300 days a year. 'Fortunately, I know what I want to do,' she says. 'I just have to hit the floor. I don't have five hours, I can only study three hours a day. Liu Liu also mentioned this theory in her microblog, saying that she became a writer after seven years of hard work, that the Beatles had held 1,200 concerts before they became famous, and that Bill Gates had worked as a programmer for seven years before he became rich. But why do you work as a civil servant for 10 years and still remain a small clerk? Why, after seven years of cooking at home, did not become a master chef, but found that marriage reached the seven-year itch? That's because you're not putting the energy and enthusiasm into practicing a skill. I just read the newspaper and surf the Internet every day to cope with all kinds of trivial tasks, do what everyone else does, cook every day just to keep the family running, I don't look at it from a professional perspective. Don't lament the loss of major after graduation from college. If you have 12 years of schooling since junior high school, even if you learn a skill for 2 hours a day, 300 days a year, you will only have 7200 hours, there is a gap of 2800 hours. Even if you practice for 1 hour a day after graduation, you will need 10 years. Why are science and engineering students more likely to succeed? As long as they are in the right major after graduation and still do the same thing, then they are practicing 8 hours a day, those 2800 hours, only need a year to fill. But many of us, the content of work is not in the practice of skills, most of the trivial people and things, in fact, is in waste. Maybe you will say, I am ordinary, I don't want to be anyone, just want to live in peace. It's just your illusion. Time goes by, and the actions you repeat every day are shaping who you are. You don't want to be, but you are destined to be. If you spend 5 hours a day watching Korean dramas, websites and chatting, then after 7 years, you will become a spectator of life. What you are good at is talking about the success and failure of others without finding anything to say about yourself. Take a minute to think about what you most wanted to do. Then do it every day. In seven years, you will find that you can go out for a living doing it. Even if you like shopping, why don't you commit yourself to shopping for three hours a day? Maybe at the beginning you feel very happy, every day like this, you will find boring, and then stick to it, you began to think, I shopping can find something, but also can make some pattern? Keep it up, and in seven years, you could be a fashionista, an image designer, a street photographer, a clothing buyer... How do you plan to spend the next seven years, the next 10,000 hours of your life? Friends who want to network and share professional ideas

Can you ever really go back.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Echoed the words in my soul. I woke up near the water's edge, in the most beautiful place I had ever seen.

Escape from family execution
For decades I had denied who I was, a fear had been ingrained in me since childhood, that should anyone Chinese come looking for me, I should flee. This sadly, is not uncommon. Normally, most second generation of any Chinese are unaware of their parents struggle to escape their homeland and integrate into a foreign country. But for me that was not afforded. For me, news of my Princess grandmothers assassination had made it not only to newspapers, but listed all family members, even those born outside of the country. And these clippings found their way to my mother enclosed with death threats - that if she were to try to claim any part of her heritage, my mother and our family would also be assasinated.

When I was a little girl I loved watching movies and TV shows such as Drake & Josh, ICarly, Zoey 101,and Victorious. I always admired the actors and the actress on the set.

I always dreamed of becoming amazing tv star in shows and movies, the fans cheering while I'm riding in the limousine with my manager.

God's Will as a Guideline
Happiness is the state of feeling content. Are you happy? Can you honestly say that you’re content at all times? Or, could it be that you are an emotional roller coaster: happy when things go according to your way; and sad, frustrated or mad when they’re not?

Kill the fourth child, or you may see the last of your riches
On the left cheek, closest to the mouth, it says “kill the fourth child” and this is where my modern family began. Our family had retained all the traditions of nobility, except one. The Princess had unbound feet among other nobles. My mother recalls seeing all the nobles with tiny bound feet, and tiny shuffle steps as that was revered “ladylike” and beautiful somehow.

On loss, fear, teeth, and flowers
Three months after Raymond died, I dreamt for the first time of my teeth falling out. I cupped my hands together, and stared at the pile of silver-capped teeth. They had fallen en masse from my mouth and, as is often the case in dreams, that somehow seemed normal.

Afraid of the Darkness
I hate the dark. It terrifies me. I’ve always hated the dark. I grew up in the countryside so at night it was always the darkest it could of been! I mean there were no lights on in the distance to put your mind at ease of the fear of becoming hurt with your own thoughts.
