The Natural Course of Events (7)

1 Opening eyes and stretching four limbs, people discover the varicolored world and feel curious inside.

2 The curiosity pushes them to find out the reasons of things in all ways. The simplest and most direct and acceptable way is to read.

3 They try to seek the real image through description in word, whereas word just is a tool and its value is the expressed meaning behind it. The so-called expression is that author conveys the meaning all out to readers through word.

4 However, there are limitations in such indirect transfer since it is difficult to describe a thing wholly.

5 Most of people in this world don’t think so. They attach importance to books and lay their recognition on indirect description of word.

6 The man of perfect practice knows that word is clumsy in conveying the truth. He understands that eyes just see the shape and color in appearance of a thing and ears just hear the name and sound of a thing.

7 Miserable people deem that they are deeply aware of the real image of thing by shape, color, name and sound. They are too shallow to know that those are tokens of things.
