孔子聖賢善知識
善之大小 一般人認為，罵人打人是惡，敬人禮人是善；貪財妄取是惡，廉潔操守是善。其實未必如此啊。凡是有益於人的是善；只利於己的是惡。有益於人，就是罵人打人都是善的；只利於己，就是敬人禮人都是惡的。所以我們行善，善又分大善小善的不同。起心動念為自己一身或一家打算的，善多，也是小善；凡事存心為國家百姓著想的，善少，也是大功德，大善。善之大小，不在事項上，而在用心，心量大則福大，所以我們每一個人都應該學習，怎樣用心才是啊！ 善之是非 善之是非，何謂善？凡是有益於人的是善，只利於己的是惡，有益於人，就是罵人打人都是善的，只利於己，就是敬人禮人都是惡的，一切都需要精研明辨，才不會把善惡是非顛倒，才能做到真實的自利利人。
