If I stabbed you and said to you: "I'm sorry, I don't know if everyone will die if I stabbed you, I am unintentional."
Will you forgive me?
In this world, what is most afraid of is the unintentional evil of ignorant people. Even if it is unintentional, because the evil has formed, it is not worthy of forgiveness.
Rowe Browning once said: Ignorance is not innocence, but guilt.
No one should pay for the ignorance and stupidity of others, otherwise, evil deeds will spread.

"Guangzhou Daily" once reported a piece of news:
In the third grade classroom of a primary school in Baiyun, Guangzhou, students were playing games, calling for boys to stand up in odd months and girls to stand up in even months.
When it was called "August", all the girls stood up.
Then a nine-year-old boy put an oil-based pen on the chair at the same table, ten centimeters long, ninety degrees vertical, with the nib facing upward.
The girl sat down without any precautions. In an instant, the pen nib pierced her right thigh, and the girl screamed.
Afterwards, the girl’s parents took her to the hospital three or four times. After torturing for more than half a month, the foreign body in the body was removed through minimally invasive surgery. The seven-millimeter-long pen tip has been bent into a V shape.
The child may think this is a fun prank, but it has caused great pain to a little girl and her family, and may accompany a lifetime of shadows.
There are many similar things.
Two 8-year-old children from Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province threw stones from the roof of a building and killed a passerby.
The woman who was smashed to death was 22 years old and just not long after the wedding. Life is at the best time, but she suffered this misfortune.
A 9-year-old boy in Huidong County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, played with a lighter in a shopping mall and ignited the goods in the warehouse, causing a major fire, killing 17 people.
We always think that children are still young and they don't understand many things, so forgive them.
But forgive them, what about those who have been hurt or even lost their lives because of them.
Children nowadays, because of parents' pampering, understand the truth even later than before.
They don't understand that they have to pay a price for making mistakes, thinking that everything can do whatever they want. And such ignorance often cultivates demons invisibly.

When you don't know where the boundaries of hurting people are, evil deeds can easily happen.
Disney dolls have been slapped on their heads many times. Two months ago, in Shanghai Disneyland, some netizens exposed tourists slapped Mickey dolls on the head, causing personal injury to the staff who played Mickey.
Similarly, in November last year, some netizens exposed that tourists in Disneyland had slapped the "Chipmunk Titi" doll on the head, causing the staff to have a concussion and were sent to the emergency center.
The reason why such things happen repeatedly is not that people are malicious, but that most people don't know how slapped the puppet's head can cause harm to the actor's body.
Because the staff in Disney costumes have metal in their costumes, especially on the head, a headgear weighs more than ten kilograms, and a sudden force is transmitted to the head of the doll, which will cause sudden cervical spine injury. Force, may cause cervical spine injury, or even hit the head and cause concussion.
People who do these things often don't know the consequences of their actions.
Because of their ignorance, they acted indifferently, and evil deeds also occurred.
Perpetrators do not know that their actions are sinful, and will not control and restrain their actions, so that they will eventually cause harm to others. This is an evil action caused by ignorance.

Some time ago, there was a report on Weibo that caused heated discussion.
In Daqing, Heilongjiang, a 9-year-old girl accidentally got her finger caught by a security door. Her grandmother took the "earth method" and sprinkled pepper noodles on the wound to stop the bleeding. Although the bleeding stopped, the pepper noodles caused serious wounds. Infection, necessitating amputation in the middle of the finger.
The girl is still young, but she has been forced to amputate her limbs because of her grandmother's ignorance.
Perhaps the grandmother's heart is good, but she just wants to stop the bleeding for her granddaughter, but her actions have hurt her granddaughter miserably.
Some people are not only ignorant, but also ignorant of their own ignorance. This is actually a double ignorance.
If an ignorant person does nothing, he can at least remain harmless; but if an ignorant person pretends to know, it will bring serious consequences.
After the liberation, Zhang Ailing attended a government meeting. Seeing this scene, she decided to leave Shanghai that night

Liu Cixin is famous for a saying: Weakness and ignorance are not survival. Obstacles, arrogance is.
If it is just ignorance, it will not pose too much threat, at least for others.
However, ignorant people are often fearless. They cannot judge the good and evil of their actions, but they firmly believe that they are right, and they think that their actions are justified and taken for granted.
The arrogance caused by this ignorance forms the root of evil.
To correctly judge whether one's actions will cause harm to others, it is not only necessary to have correct values, but also to have sufficient knowledge and sufficient social experience and life experience. This is not easy, so we need to continue to learn.
Only by learning can we overcome ignorance.
But before that, we need to be in awe of the unknown.
When we don't know the consequences of our actions, doing nothing is the greatest kindness.
Socrates said: Wisdom is the best virtue. Because wisdom allows us to distinguish right from wrong, and relative ignorance is a kind of evil.
Before things happen, ignorant people always don't believe that evil deeds will come from themselves, while wisdom makes people humble and cautious.
If an ignorant person refuses to learn, he will never have a correct understanding of himself and others. Such arrogance will lead ignorance into the abyss.
Therefore, always maintaining a humble attitude and uninterrupted self-study is also a kind of good deeds.
Because only by learning can we get rid of ignorance, increase conscious good and reduce unconscious evil.
The greatest evil in the world is ignorance and unawareness. May you and I learn and encourage each other!
