Since the beginning of time, there has always been confusions over trying to explain difference among different things and aspects. Many were simple to explain while others require time and critical thinking to achieve full understandings of the issue. One of the most important issues that is still discussed up to today is over whether how to distinguish the virtuous from the non-virtuous people of society and their features. Arguments for this matter range widely among different people. But according to Hsun Tzu, all men are born evil, and "goodness is the result of conscious activity- (Hsun, 157) And what separates virtuous people from the non-virtuous is how one indulges himself to his emotional nature, hate and envy. As quoted by Hsun Tzu, A man is born with "feelings of envy and hate, and if he indulges these, they will lead him into violence and crime, and all sense of loyalty and good faith will disappear." (Hsun, 157)And that a ".man is born with the desires of the eyes and ears, with a fondness for beautiful sights and sounds. If he indulges these, they will lead him into license and wantonness, and all rituals and correct forms will be lost."(Hsun, 157).
The state made by Hsun Tzu above best exemplify the true form of human nature. I totally agree with Hsun Tzu on this matter. In my opinion, human are evil by nature, and only with proper instructions and teachers can a person become virtuous. When a person is born, he or she is in a blank state of mind, meaning that that person does not have any kind of knowledge or information about the world, and only with time and experience can a person truly know anything. I believe that during this learning process a person unconsciously pick his or his path in life - one goes toward virtuous while others lead to a life of deceits and dishonesty. That is why, a person, while growing up, must have proper teachings and ritual principles in order to be virtuous.
