Why do intellectuals nowadays seldom see compassion?

In the modern utilitarian era, we feel that the present literati are not as sympathetic as the ancient literati. The reason why there is such a situation should be related to the times we live in now. Then, why have all our current literati been changed? We should also carefully analyze this very serious problem.

root

As we all know, the spread of ideas in this world is very different from that in ancient society. In today's society, there is a huge discourse power that affects people's thinking and behavior orientation all the time. This huge discourse comes from the media. Today, movies, television, radio, books, newspapers, periodicals, and computer networks that have been developed and widely popularized not long ago are all the expansion of people's population. Unreal images on screens and fluorescent screens, sound waves oscillating in the air, and words on paper are everywhere, which constitute the greatest right to speak in today's society.

cause

Because in the modern society of reform and opening up. Whether we are literati or ordinary people, we have been changed by the utilitarian era. Although money is not very important now, it exists in people's lives. Each of us will inevitably experience such a thing, and each of us will work hard for money and a better life.

Scholar's feelings

Scholars have been representatives of compassion since ancient times. However, this feeling is not perfect, and we don't particularly need this feeling. What we need is a pragmatic attitude, and it is meaningless to sympathize with others blindly. When we are compassionate, we can't do something practical. Isn't that a waste of time and life?

Therefore, we should be very lucky without compassion, on the one hand, so. We should follow the changes of the times and make progress.
