The Philosophy of Circles and Missing
Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessings lie where misfortune lies. So said I.
The place we live on is a blue planet, the ball is a circle, and we deal with the philosophy of circles and vacancies in our lives. The lack of the circle is a process of continuous improvement. Just like Dalton, the lack of color vision gave him the circle in medical theory; the lack of Momofuku Ando's bankruptcy gave him the circle of a new industry; the lack of the houseworker Jolly's , let laundry technology come full circle.
Today, we should re-examine our ancestors’ philosophy of roundness and lack. Lao Tzu's "blessings" and "misfortunes" are circles and defects in a sense. Misfortunes and blessings depend on it, which tells us that the imperfect side can still bring perfection.
Su Shi once said that people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Different experiences make our lives more colorful, and the comparison between Que and Guo allows us to discover both the beauty of Que and the beauty of roundness.
What is the philosophy of roundness and imperfection? Perhaps it is the spirit that those great people can pursue perfection with a kind of imperfection. Hegel once commented on this: "The human soul must have reached the state of perfection, otherwise why would it constantly pursue perfection." It is true that people pursue perfection because of their shortcomings. It has to be said that Dalton, Momofuku Ando, ??and Jolly are all great people. They used their own shortcomings to create a perfect circle in human society.
The shortcomings in life are worthy of our praise. What they bring us is food for the human spirit.
Perhaps Lin Daiyu’s shortcomings are her excessive persistence in love and pessimistic attitude towards life, but the perfect circle that makes love unforgettable is her pursuit of perfection after her shortcomings. Sanmao is a great writer, but the shortcomings in her life have confused her. But also because of her pursuit of perfection, she struggles and works hard, and the ultimate perfection lies in her moment of enlightenment after thousands of turns.
What also shocks us is the life of Van Gogh. His shortcomings are the colorful pictures of life cut out with a golden knife and a luster as sharp as the sun. Beethoven, whom we admire, used his own flaws to strike out the magnificent movement of life on the extremely spiritual black and white keys.
These great people used their shortcomings to achieve the perfection of their souls and lives. Their shortcomings and pursuit of perfection are silver-white fireworks blooming in the human sky.
For us, this philosophy of roundness and lack still needs to be studied. Our life is a desert, full of shortcomings, and our life's work is to make this desert bloom with perfect flowers.
Zhuangzi compares himself to a humble fish but still pursues the realm of dreaming butterflies. We should also watch the moon tree in our hearts. Use shortcomings to achieve the legend of Yuan.
Don’t lament the lack of beauty, just like a leaf, spend your life green to achieve a golden dream.
This is the philosophy of circle and lack
