? On a summer afternoon, around three o'clock, it suddenly started to rain heavily. The crackling raindrops hit the ground, roofs, woods and streams in the community, accompanied by the whistling wind, as if a battle was being waged. Before, the weather was dull and extremely hot under the high temperature. People were hiding inside their homes, and the world outside was quiet. The rain in the summer afternoon broke the dull and dead atmosphere and brought the momentum of fighting and iron horses.
? I opened the bathroom window and looked at the surrounding community just a few feet away. The houses in the community stand around it, with a large area of ??lush vegetation in the middle. Fragments of memories suddenly flooded into my mind: I just moved into this community, about six or seven years ago. At that time, my brother had already lived in the community a year in advance. . He and I live right across from each other, separated by this tree. The trees are very low and short. From the fifth floor where I live, I can see the balcony of my brother's house. Now the trees have grown so tall and spread around, blocking my view. I can no longer see the balcony of my brother's house. The grass and trees in the community bear the sun, rain and dew, and they are growing vigorously.
Without natural rain, I’m afraid the trees, flowers and plants in the community wouldn’t grow so lush, right? There are many unsatisfactory things about our community. Because it was built relatively early and no separation of people and vehicles was implemented, the phenomenon of vehicles parking indiscriminately is very serious. But the greening in the community is relatively good, with green vegetation everywhere. The small saplings and trees that were there when the community was first built have grown vigorously after being watered by sunshine, rain and dew over the years. Some have grown into big trees; even if some have not grown yet, their horizontally growing branches have also extended into a lush greenery. . When several acquaintances heard the name of the community where I lived, their only reaction was, "The greenery in your community is pretty good." This is what makes me happy.
From the moment I moved into the community to now, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. My daughter, who was still an ignorant young child back then, is now in college. As a parent, I want her to be like a healthy sapling, growing vigorously and upward under the water of sunshine, rain and dew. Most ordinary people grow up in this world under similar conditions, experience the same wind and rain, and endure the same hardships. However, some grow into towering trees, and some eventually become shrubs. What is the reason for this? ? Whether that "strong will to grow" is also one of the important factors is worth pondering.
? My daughter came back from school during the summer vacation. A family of three will have some exchanges with each other every day when eating. Mainly I am talking to my daughter about the principles of life. What I talk about most is that a person should become enlightened about his or her life as soon as possible and see clearly the underlying logic of this world, which operates large and small laws. Everyone should follow the rules in doing things and doing things, so that they can avoid many detours and grow and mature as quickly as possible in the shortest time. Children from wealthy families have figured out many of the truths of life by the time they are in their 20s, but many children from ordinary families do not have their brains figured out until they are in their 40s. However, there is not much room for them to develop in life. Confucius said, "No confusion at forty", which is a summary of the life experience of most ordinary people, and it is indeed true.
For example, the rain in the summer afternoon irrigates all living things in the world, but how many plants and trees absorb nutrients from it and strive to grow upward? Do you have the "willingness to strive for upward growth"? These days, there are always some words swirling in my mind, which are old tunes repeated. I don’t know why I think of these or how they come to my mind. For example, "Heaven and Earth are not benevolent and treat all things as rotten dogs", "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement", "Everything in the world is easy if you work hard", "Hundreds of ills all arise from laziness"... I reflect on myself and I am still essentially " "An extremely lazy person" who is unwilling to think deeply and instinctively avoids some difficult things, including how to restore his health as soon as possible... What should I do?
Isn’t it boring to think of so many miscellaneous things due to the rain on a summer afternoon? Ha ha.
