在当今社会，“善良”一词似乎在渐渐失去它原有的光芒。善良原本是各种美德的代名词，而如今善良却变的充满“争议与矛盾”。不久前，我用中文在网络上搜索“如何变得善良”。但出乎意料的是，我得到的结果大部分都是围绕着“善良的弊端”和“如何让自己不那么善良”等等话题展开的。而那些询问如何让自己善良的人得到的答案大部分也都是在说“不要让自己太善良，只有自私才能过的更好”等等。
自古以来，我们总是被教导要与人为善、要大度、要心胸开阔，但现在的人却认为善良是自讨苦吃，甚至劝告别人不要太善良。从某种程度上来看，也许他们说的没有错：善良的人容易受到利用和伤害，他们对别人的信任和善意也会被人视为弱点来加以利用。而这种情况更加速了社会风气的下滑，善良的人受到伤害而失去信心，从而让更多的人放弃善良，认为善良对自己是无益的……
但这种强调自我保护和追求利益的理念真的能让我们过的更好吗？善良原本是我们社会的基石，它让人们能够约束自己并维持社会秩序。那如果我们的世界没有了善良，人人都自私至极，这个社会将变成什么样？无疑，它将是一个充满矛盾与战争的地方，人与人之间只有利益的交换，没有真正的情感与信任。善良才是真正能让人幸福的力量。当我们的内心充满光明与善意，我们对待任何事情都会有一个积极的心态，在帮助他人的同时，我们也充实了自己的内心。也许善良可能会暂时让我们面临一些困难和挑战，但这不意味着我们应该放弃善良，甚至追捧自私。相反，我们应该努力寻找一种能够保护自己，同时又能保持内心善良的方法。而且我相信只要我们愿意坚守善良，上天也不会让我们陷入黑暗。
In today's society, the word "kindness" seems to be gradually losing its original luster. Kindness was originally synonymous with various virtues, but now kindness has become full of "controversies and contradictions." Not long ago, I searched “how to be kind” on the Internet in Chinese. But surprisingly, most of the results I got revolved around topics such as "the disadvantages of being kind" and "how to make yourself less kind". And most of the answers received by those who ask how to make themselves kind are "Don't make yourself too kind. Only by being selfish can you live a better life" and so on.
Since ancient times, we have always been taught to be kind to others, to be generous, and to be open-minded, but now people think that being kind is asking for trouble, and even advise others not to be too kind. To some extent, perhaps they are right: kind people are vulnerable to exploitation and harm, and their trust and kindness to others can be seen as weaknesses and exploited. And this situation has accelerated the decline of social atmosphere. Kind-hearted people have been hurt and lost confidence, causing more people to give up on kindness and think that kindness is useless to themselves...
But can this emphasis on self-preservation and pursuit of interests really make us better off? Kindness is originally the cornerstone of our society, allowing people to discipline themselves and maintain social order. So if there is no kindness in our world and everyone is extremely selfish, what will this society look like? Undoubtedly, it will be a place full of contradictions and wars. There is only an exchange of interests between people, but no real emotions and trust. Kindness is the power that truly makes people happy. When our hearts are full of light and kindness, we will have a positive attitude towards everything. While helping others, we also enrich our own hearts. Maybe kindness may temporarily make us face some difficulties and challenges, but this does not mean that we should give up kindness or even pursue selfishness. Instead, we should strive to find a way to protect ourselves while still maintaining the goodness within. And I believe that as long as we are willing to stick to goodness, God will not let us fall into darkness.
