Looking up at the stars and down to earth - a letter to Mozi

Dear Mozi:

This is a letter written to you by a student two thousand years later. I don't know why I want to write to you. I only know that I understand a simple but profound reason for you: look up at the stars and be down to earth.

I remember when I was young, I accidentally touched a quaint wire-bound book from the bottom of the bookshelf. This is the first time that I am with you. But this time it doesn't seem to be great for the first time, because I can't see a little emotion from your dark face, only the harshness and coldness of "not keeping it, going to die."

At that time, I felt that you must not be a person with lofty ideals. It must not be a person who would look up at the stars.

But after all, I didn't put down the book, but I was increasingly attracted to it. "All the people in the world love each other, but they are not weak, and the public is not robbed." Every word in the book exudes a strange rice scent. So every time the pages are flipped, I seem to return to the chaos of the "defective thief".

In the sky, I saw the old man who was riding the green cow slowly west, and looked at the scorpion, "the sorrow and retreat, the road of heaven"; also saw the gentleman who talked on the apricot altar, and yelled at the sky. What is the day? What is the saying?" I saw the prosperity of a group of contending schools in the lower school of Linyi, and the hermits who sang songs on the Chu River, and were intoxicated with "the spirit of the heavens and the earth."

Finally, I saw you at a glance. You have not chosen to retire, nor are you willing to argue with the whole world all day. You just rushed to the land of China, and appeared in the world as a walker, rushing to scream, save the people in the water and fire, and solve the sorrows of the people. "The eggs are all in the world, and the stones are still." You are so down-to-earth, your steps are so solid and unyielding.

I finally understand that you are not going to look up at the stars, your star is "the world is the same." It's just that the rest of the slogans that only know the sky and can only make a pale and powerless slogan, you would rather practice your ideals in a down-to-earth manner, letting "concurrent love" - ​​your starry sky shines even more brilliantly. So, you are always on the go. You have traveled thousands of miles to talk about the king of Chu, and "the nine refused to attack the city of Luban", to save the people of the Song Dynasty; you are running around, "non-attack", "non-music", "non-life" and "non-Confucianism", Truly put forward a real "good fortune" for this troubled world. You look up at the stars, and you never forget to be down to earth. Therefore, your footsteps never stop, and your footprints are all over the land of China. Two thousand years after this exaggerated falsehood still exists in the world, your footsteps are becoming more solid and powerful.

It turns out that your eyes will always look up at the stars; it turns out that your feet have never left the earth!

Black hair, black eyes, black eyes, starry eyes, feet on the ground, you running on the ground, like a black lightning, scratching the sky, piercing the heavy, igniting the never-extinguished flame for the Kyushu Five Sacred Mountains !

Humans need to look up at the stars, because without the shining of the stars, our roads will not have a front. However, when looking up at the stars, you must not forget to be down-to-earth and do something for others to do for the community. After all, the beauty of the stars never belongs to the earth. Only when we are down to earth can we use every footprint of our own to reflect the beauty of the stars.

Mozi, thank you, let me understand this simple but profound truth, and thank you for letting my life have the most permanent motivation.
