霍韬晦教授 【中国读书人的忧患意识-从孔子到范仲淹到五四知识分子 ( 三）】

「忧患」精神是孔子精神、儒家精神，是中国文化里最深的一个理念，你读中国书，就会产生这种忧患精神。不要只为自己，单是为了自己是很个人的、很自私的，空间很小；如果中国文化只讲自己，哪还会存在于这世上？

The spirit of concern and vigilance（忧患) lies at the heart of Confucian thought, one of Chinese culture’s most profound ideals. Immersing yourself in Chinese texts awakens this mindset within you. It is not merely about the self as focusing solely on oneself is narrow and selfish, leaving little room for growth. If Chinese culture had only preached individualism, how could it have endured through millennia?
