Treat all people and animals with equality
and kindness.(一視同仁)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous official called Han Yu, who was also a famous writer.
He once wrote a short article, the content
of which is roughly as follows
The material world we live in can be
divided into three parts: the heavenly space, the earthly space, and the human
space.
The masters of the celestial space are the
sun, moon and stars; the masters of the terrestrial space are the trees, grass,
rivers and mountains. The masters of human space are all human beings and all
animals.
When the space in the sky becomes chaotic,
the sun, moon and stars no longer move according to their usual orbits. When
the space on land becomes chaotic, trees, grass, rivers and mountains lose
their original harmony. If man's space becomes chaotic, all people and animals
will lose the sincere feelings in their hearts.
There is no difference between human beings
and other animals. We all live in this dimension, and we are all masters of
this dimension. Those ancient people who possessed extremely high wisdom and
moral character clearly understood this, so those people would treat other
people and various animals with equality and would treat other people and
various animals with a benevolent attitude.
The literal translation of this idiom is
to treat all people and animals with equality and kindness.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
treats everyone around him equally.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts

What do you think is the biggest difference
between people and animals? Do you treat other people and all animals with
kindness?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
Treat all people and animals with equality

中國的唐王朝時代有一位名字叫做(韓愈)的著名的官員，他也是一個著名的文學家。
他曾經寫過一篇短文，這篇短文的內容大概的意思如下。
我們生活的這個物質的世界可以分成三個部分，天空這個空間與陸地這個空間還有人類這個空間。
掌管天上這個空間的主人是太陽、月亮與星星，掌管陸地這個空間的主人是樹木、草、河流與山。掌管人類這個空間的主人是所有人類與所有的動物。
當天上這個空間變的混亂的時候，太陽、月亮與星星就會不按平常的軌跡運行，當陸地這個空間變的混亂的時候，樹木、草、河流與山就會失去原本的和諧，當人類這個空間變得混亂的時候，所有人類與動物就會喪失心中真摯的情感。
人類與其他的動物並沒有區別，我們都一樣生活在這個空間之中，我們都一樣是這個空間的主人，古代那些具備極高智慧與極高品德的人清楚地明白這一點，所以這些人會用平等的眼光地對待其他人與各種不同的動物，這些人會用仁愛的態度對待其他人與各種不同的動物。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是用平等的眼光與仁愛的態度對待所有人與所有動物。
這句成語被用來形容一個人用平等的態度對待他身邊的所有人。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為人與動物之間最大的差異在那裡呢?你是否有用仁慈的心對待其他人與所有動物呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
