The Moral View of Being Kind and Amiable to Others

Being kind and amiable to others is the most basic moral standard for individuals. Amiability is a social value, and kindness is a requirement of morality. They complement and reinforce each other. Kindness is the basis and moral support of amiability, which in turn restrains and regulates kindness, being its value orientation and goal. Being kind and amiable to others indicates that one has a peaceful state of mind, and values virtues. Not only does it show the moral quality of an individual, but it is also an attitude to others and society that has long been advocated in Chinese culture, manifesting the Chinese people's pursuit of benevolence.

人心和善的道德观

人心和善,是对个体最基本的道德素养要求。“和”是一种社会价值理念,“善”是一种道德素养要求,二者相辅相成、融为一体。“善”是“和”的基础,是“和”实现的道德支撑;“和”制约、规定着“善”,是“善”的价值引领和目标指向。人心和善,意味着心灵祥和安乐的状态,包含着崇德向善的道德要求,既体现一个人的道德修养,也是中华文化长期倡导的对待他人与社会的态度,体现了中国人讲求仁爱的道义情怀。
