Contrasts observation with lack of awareness.
A few days ago, while walking in the rain under an umbrella, I suddenly realized that all things must pass—some in a fleeting instant, others through a gradual fading.
Is a raindrop hitting the ground a form of vanishing? As a breeze brushes past, a withered leaf drifts gently through the air; is this also a form of passing? I feel as though something deep within my soul is also quietly falling... Watching that leaf, I imagined how it had worked diligently while on the tree, and how, after falling, it would transform into nutrients to nourish the great tree. I stood lost in thought for a long time, until the heavy sound of raindrops hitting the ground pulled me back to reality. Looking up, I saw large raindrops falling continuously from the sky. I reached out from under my umbrella to touch the rain. After a dry day, I felt the coolness and refreshment the rain brought to me and to everyone. Suddenly, I was struck by a realization: the raindrops are also vanishing, sacrificing themselves to bring us coolness... Dogs lick the raindrops, and birds sing on the branches, yet none of them notice that this is the life of a raindrop! This is what they exchange their lives for! Witnessing this, I felt once again that something within my soul was constantly descending... Everything uses its limited life to give back to the earth; what about me?
I have understood a philosophy of life: use your limited life to do what you are capable of doing!
记得几天前，我撑着伞走在雨中，忽然意识到万物皆会消逝——有的转瞬即逝，有的则在悄然流逝。
雨滴坠落于地，这算是一种消逝吗？微风拂过，一片枯黄的落叶随风轻盈地飘落，这又是否也是一种流逝？我总觉得，内心深处也有某种东西正在悄然坠落……凝视着那片落叶，我仿佛看到它在树上时曾勤恳地为树木生长尽力，而坠落后又化作养分滋养大地。我沉思良久，直到雨滴撞击地面的声响将我拉回现实。我望着天空，硕大的雨滴不断落下。我伸出手，脱离雨伞的遮挡，去触碰那场雨。在干燥了一整天后，我真切地感受到了这场雨为我、为人们带来的清凉与舒爽。突然间，我心头一震：雨滴也在消逝，它们在牺牲自我，为我们带来凉爽……小狗在用舌头舔舐雨点，小鸟在枝头欢唱，可它们谁也没有注意到，这是雨点的生命！这是雨点用生命换来的！目睹此情此景，我再次觉得心灵里的某种东西正在不停地坠落……万物都在用自己仅有的生命来回报大地，我又能如何？
我由此悟出了一个人生哲理：要用自己有限的生命，去成就自己力所能及的事！
