One of the famous Chinese philosophers, Mencius, mentioned a hypothesis to propose his Four Principles theory: if a child is about to fall into a well, every single person who will witness this incident will be shocked as they will feel solidarity with the child. This sympathy is not due to their relationship with the child's parent or their moral image among their neighbors, but to their innate humanity. This spirit of kindness towards others can break boundaries caused by age, gender, nationality and any other factor. The Four Beginnings consist of the beginning of benevolence, righteousness, fairness and wisdom that all people should possess. It is obvious that every human being is born with a good nature, but later evil characteristics can attach. This article will examine Mencius' theory of the four beginnings focusing on the beginning of benevolence and righteousness, explaining the relationship between these characteristics and the original goodness of human nature, and conclude that no one is born with an evil nature. The beginning of benevolence is an innate characteristic for every human being. The definition of benevolence stated by Confucius is that benevolence is the mind to achieve the highest standard of moral behavior, which requires the ability to extend kindness from oneself to neighbors, from neighbors to the entire community. This extension can also be extended by man to objects, resulting in man's goodness towards every matter in the world and in the usefulness of man and heaven. In the Book of Mencius, it was proposed that all human beings are born with the beginning of benevolence and that the feeling of commiseration is the beginning of benevolence. Before this beginning has been tainted… middle of paper… act, more and more crimes are being committed in the world every day. This statement may not be true because people with a beginning of benevolence and righteousness may not mean that they would not commit crimes. In general, people would have the right to decide whether to develop or abandon the four beginnings. If people chose to develop these beginnings, they would likely be enough to protect others in the world. Otherwise they can't even take on the responsibility of serving their parents. In the book of Mencius, people who had not developed the beginnings are destroying themselves. However, if someone with these beginnings gave them maximum extension and development, the result would be like a fire starting to burn or a spring starting to spring forth. These men would then gradually advance on the path to the highest moral standard.
