Don’t let a narrow mindset hinder the journey of good deeds

Yicheng · Jan 17, 2025

On the journey of advancing public welfare, we often encounter the criticism: “Your charity seems too religious.” This is a classic example of a narrow perspective—one that is influenced by bias, limitations, or even misunderstanding, and fails to truly consider the viewpoint of those involved in charitable efforts. To better explain our original intentions, it […]

不要让个人的“窄目”,耽误了自己的行善之旅

Yicheng · Jan 17, 2025

在推动公益的道路上,我们常常听到这样一种声音:“你们的公益宗教化太重了。”这是一种典型的“窄目”式评价,它带着偏见、局限甚至某种误解,却从未真正站在公益行动者的角度去了解和思考。为了更好地阐明我们的初衷,我们有必要对此作一个解释,也希望每一位读者能以更开阔的视野来看待善良的行程。 一、公益的初衷:为人类谋幸福,为世界谋文明 我们公益组织的誓言从一开始便十分清晰:为所有人谋福利,谋幸福,为这个世界谋文明。 从开始的那一天起,到今天,我们所做的一切,始终坚持这样的信念。然而,令人深思的是,在历经多年的发展中,我们所有的资金和支持,毫无例外地来源于信仰者的力量——那些愿意将信仰的爱与善化为实际行动的人们。他们用真诚与坚持支持我们的公益事业,推动着幸福和文明的传播。 可遗憾的是,迄今为止,我们从未获得所谓“文明者”或“无信仰者”的支持。这样的支持,可以说是为“零”。 二、为什么善良需要信仰的支撑? 善良的道路,从来不是一条平坦的大道。它需要坚韧的信念、内心的力量和无私的奉献,而这些恰恰是信仰所赋予的。一个没有信仰支撑的善意,往往缺乏持久的动力,也难以承受来自现实的压力和挑战。 我们公益的支持者,正是因为怀有深沉的信仰,才愿意在这个复杂的世界中坚持行善。他们深知,公益并非易事,甚至可能面临牺牲,却依然愿意承担这份重任。 这里想分享一个故事。 一位画家接受了一位主持人的采访。主持人直言不讳地对他说:“我一点都不喜欢你的画,也不觉得你画得好。” 画家坦然一笑,回答说:“你说得对,这正是我需要不断努力的理由。” 这个故事告诉我们,面对外界的质疑与不理解,重要的不是争辩,而是坚定自己的信念,并用实际行动去回应。我们的公益事业,正如这位画家的创作,或许不被所有人理解,但这并不会阻碍我们追求幸福与文明的脚步。质疑声不仅不会让我们止步,反而成为我们不断努力和完善自己的动力。 三、不要用你的“窄目”评判我们的世界 在公益的道路上,有时我们需要面对的不只是困难,还有外界的不理解甚至恶意攻击。有些人试图用自己的经历、想法和逻辑来推导我们的世界和社会情况,但这样的推理往往是站不住脚的。 公益的真相远比他们的想象复杂。在某些地方,做一件利世之事,随时可能面临生命结束的威胁。这不是危言耸听,而是许多公益行动者需要面对的现实。因此,用个人的思维逻辑来推断公益的本质,忽略了公益背后深厚的信仰力量和使命感,只会得出偏颇的结论。 四、让善良突破“窄目”的束缚 面对这些误解,我们不能放弃,也不会退缩。我们相信,真正的善良不受个人狭隘目光的局限,而是一种能够打破偏见、跨越界限的力量。 公益行动需要的不只是信仰者的支持,更需要所有人的理解与参与。每个人都可以选择用开放的心态去了解公益的真实样貌,而不是用“窄目”去批判与否定。 无论外界如何评价,我们依然会用信仰支撑的力量,坚守行善的道路。就像画家回答主持人时的那份坦然,质疑只会让我们更加努力,而不是退却。 公益的意义在于为所有人谋幸福,为世界谋文明。我们希望通过自己的行动,唤起更多人对善良的认同与实践,不论他们是否拥有信仰,因为善良本应是超越一切界限的普世价值。 结语 不要让个人的“窄目”成为善良的阻碍,更不要因为偏见和误解否定那些为公益而付出的人。这个世界需要更多理解、支持和信仰的力量,去共同推动人类的幸福与文明的进步。 我们依然在路上,即使这条路荆棘密布,我们的信念依旧不变:为所有人谋福利,为这个世界谋文明。因为我们深信,真正的善良,是一种无惧质疑、无惧牺牲的光芒,它将穿透一切狭隘,点亮整个世界。
