Human nature is both divine and beastly — The Wealth of Nations

As for education, I believe all of you are familiar with it. In modern times, education is the most common and important thing. If the ultimate goal of education is anything, some people will answer that it is to have a bright and beautiful future.
In fact, this is not the real purpose of education.
If we look at the excellent classics of the past dynasties and our Chinese nation, we will find that education has a purpose, which is to standardize people’s humanity.

As early as a long time ago, people said that people at the beginning of life, nature is good, but Xunzi is completely different, he put forward that people at the beginning of life, nature is evil, human nature is not good, good, just people’s good wishes.
Xunzi said that “human nature is inherently evil and hypocritical”, and the ultimate purpose of education is to enable people to regulate the dark side of their hearts.

For a person, you can hardly really know her inner thoughts, as an old Chinese saying goes, you know the person, you know the face, you don’t know the heart.
In the performance art of the last century called “Rhythm 0”, others in the world finally learned how dark human nature really is.
A European artist drugged his body for six hours, only to get all kinds of destruction.

A: pollution-free appearance

This society is a society of “people”.
Everyone is dealing with different people every day.
Every day we see a different face. For people, the face they show to others is a symbol of themselves.
People can only know what she looks like and if it fits their aesthetic, but we know nothing about her heart.

Although there is an old saying in China called Xiangyou Xinsheng, which holds that people who are very kind don’t have bad intentions, this is only a rare case. People’s appearance is determined by genes, not by psychology. Therefore, we really can’t correctly judge whether a person is a good person or a bad person only by her appearance.
Man is a very good camouflage animal, life is like a play, all by acting.

A person can flexibly switch their roles between different people, so that everyone’s impression of her is almost different. In this world, the only person who knows her heart may be herself, and some people even have no way to know how dark her heart is.
Artists and philosophers in almost every period of human history have debated over and over again in order to find out what it is like to be human, but these debates have almost always ended in failure in the end.
It wasn’t until the last century that a body artist named Marina Abramovic really showed the world the other side of human nature.

Two: the artist who is not understood

Marina Abramovic was born in 1946, and the first half of her life, we can say, was very sad.
When she was a child, she should have a happy childhood, but Marina grew up in the family education with abnormal oppressive environment.
It was as if she had been born the one to blame.
Under high pressure, she hovered on the verge of breaking down for a long time.

This situation does not ease until after college, because away from one’s parents the oppression of education no longer exists.
Being suppressed for a long time, she yearned for freedom in her heart. In college, she showed extreme boldness and freedom.
It can also be said that this high-pressure education is the foundation for her to become the mother of performance art.

In the eyes of most people, some famous artists are considered to have some mental diseases, because what they do is not understood by ordinary people, and what they do is mostly meaningless, seemingly insisting on, but in fact, it is just a stunt.
But a lot of artists, what they do has a strong practical significance.
Art comes from life, and she is higher than life, it comes from every little bit of life.

Through a peculiar way of expression, the problems found in life are infinitely amplified to make people as widely known as possible. After amplification, people begin to understand some things.
In the end, I understand some truths, which may be the original intention of the artists. They hope to bring people deeper thinking through their influence.

Three: Prosody 0

Marina at university of the arts in Belgrade her grades have been very good, after graduation, she again to Zagreb art academy, and received a master’s degree, after that, she began her artistic performance career, because childhood experiences, she always thought that only extreme suffering and pain, to inspire the heart of things, can the real power.
After that, she launched an art show that shocked the world.
She was “Rhythm 0,” an art performance that became a huge hit.

This performance art performance is very cruel, in order to be able to achieve a more real effect, Marina released a disclaimer to the outside world.
During this performance art, she took full responsibility for herself, not for the person who shot her, and then she sat in her room drugged for six hours.

In this process, Marina’s mind is completely awake, she knows what is happening in the outside world, but because of the anesthetic effect, she does not have a little sensation, also can’t move.
Marina put a lot of things in front of them, these things have a lot of beautiful meaning, such as roses, honey.
On top of that, she has a lot of murder weapons in front of her.

At the beginning of the performance art show, people stood by to watch her.
No one did anything to her. Later, a viewer, who wanted to see if she was really under anesthesia, came forward and touched her twice, but Marina did not respond at all. Finally, people really knew that she was under anesthesia.
Like drawing lipstick on Marina’s face.
Someone else took Marina’s coat off and threw a shower of cold water over her.

This is the end of the show.
Nothing particularly dangerous happened, nor did it reflect another cover of human nature.
Later, people were even bolder.
Someone walked up to Marina’s body, picked up scissors and cut all her clothes into pieces, thus exposing Marina’s whole person to people. When everyone thought that no one would take those things symbolizing good meaning, there was a person.
The rose that takes up before on Marina, but she scratched Marina’s skin with the thorn of rose however, blood is direct.

At the end of the show, one of the audience members took up a weapon.
Loaded the bullet.
Aimed at Malina’s head, the scene at this time makes the staff very flurried, although Marina has signed a disclaimer, but after all this is a human life.
The staff immediately stepped forward to stop.
Finally, after six hours, Marina regained consciousness and the show was declared over.

Wild wrote “all corners of the lake around” there is such a sentence “life is like a play, everything is reasonable, everything is unexpected”.
To Marina’s performance, look like everything is very unexpected, but actually they are in reason.
When a person is not responsible for what she does, she will show her darkest side, because no one will hold you to account.
Marina’s performance also proves that when people try to test human nature, they will constantly refresh their cognition of human nature
