Chapter 30 Sitting in the sky

As soon as a person is born, he is doomed to sit in a well and watch the sky. No matter the virtuous or the foolish, the emperor, the general, or the trafficker, they are all slaves of the senses. The sense organs are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Our eyes can only distinguish the colors in the rainbow, their combinations and different brightnesses, and the colors outside the spectrum can only be called ultraviolet light and infrared light. Our ears can only hear sounds in a certain band, and the whistle to call the dog is a sound beyond our hearing. The tongue can only taste the four tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, and hot. Every sense has its own inherent limitations.

That creates a uniquely human and entirely subjective world, our well. Time is just a one-way train that never returns.Some are just the present, the past has become a memory, and the future is unpredictable. I don't know where it came from, where it was going, and suddenly came to this well of life.In this well, some people buried their heads in the sewage in the well, thinking that it was the whole world; It is the whole universe. Of course, there are also people who want to jump out of the well. It is said that someone has jumped out, and their name is Sakyamuni?I?Too bad they never jumped back and told us what the world was like out there.Is it worth trying to jump in?
