Western philosophy about rain
People often say: "The weather in June is like a baby's face." This sentence seems a bit inaccurate. It is July, and the rain is still falling quietly. In fact, it is just Time for a nap.
Rain is one of our most common natural phenomena. This is a fact known to everyone. If we put it in the eyes of scientists, they will think about the formation and changes of rain. In the eyes of poets, they will praise, and may say: "It's a good rain, wonderful! Wonderful!" If they are an ordinary person, if they are a farmer, they will secretly be glad to save the time of watering the ground. After taking a rest, those who have been working harder will secretly rejoice, and then suddenly think that there are other jobs to do and gain benefits, so they will get busy again, and if it is in the heart of a blind person, they only listen to When you hear the sound of rain, will you suddenly think: "The sound of rain sounds very refreshing, it is really pleasing to the heart!" The blind person who has a shortcoming in the ointment will think: "Rain, what does it look like?" It's just a simple rain. , but it has become complicated because of the existence of people. At this moment, I am thinking: "Is it the rain that is complicated, or is it the human psychology that is complicated? Perhaps, the rain is simple, but our hearts make it complicated. Maybe, rain itself is complicated. We discovered its complexity."
Looking at the rain, it seems to be falling one after another to refresh the world. It was originally like spring rain. The drizzle gradually turned into a downpour, one drop, two drops, three drops... countless drops... No matter how many drops, the rain is still falling. Even if it stops, all of this still exists, and even more The accurate statement is that it has existed in the past, not only in the past, but will continue to exist in the future.
Actually, not only in July, but also in March, the drizzle is also worth appreciating. I think more people prefer drizzle to rain. Heavy rain and drizzle bring feelings and perceptual beauty, while heavy rain brings psychological and spiritual beauty. Both kinds of beauty are indispensable. Writers and poets advocate that spiritual beauty is better than perceptual beauty. Beauty is more noble, but it is not so. If there is no beauty of consciousness, how can there be beauty of spirit? Would a beggar be secretly grateful for the severe beating he received? The answer is no, unless the beggar has some mental problems, which is inevitable. Whether it is the proof of reality, the advocacy of poets, or seeking truth from facts, why should we pursue something that does not exist just for the sake of temporary mood and to express our noble pursuit? Spirit can never exist alone for people to pursue. "Absolute spirit" is a fallacy. Since we already exist in this world, it is already a fait accompli. We must learn to enjoy this world. Why should we learn from those hermits and Taoist priests who "cultivate" "In the end, we still cannot escape the final arrangement of fate. It is also the last page and the last lesson of life. I never deny that the pursuit of people’s choice is a judgment made by personal values, but I also do not acquiesce in this. Whether the value is noble or not will always keep pace with the times. Don’t just be the person of that era. thing, otherwise even if we pursue that kind of sublimity, it will be meaningless in the modern era.
If a rain can change everything, I am also willing to pursue a rain. People have different views on a rain, but it is these views that reveal one kind after another. , one after another, as long as they carefully examine these opinions, they will come up with some unexpected answers. Rain is just one of all kinds of guidance, and maybe snow can do more.
