Features: It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. The absurdity of flies isn’t because they are small, but because they buzz around, flying here and there, feeling great. This makes many ridiculous notions arise. The flies are busy, breaking through first, then scoring, spectacular and exciting, but in reality, it’s all just them playing, with no real start. So you see, once you feel great, you’re left with only your own desires and enthusiasm, unable to even see an elephant’s leg running, let alone the expression of the world. Even if you’re the world’s No. 1 FTH national team, or if you score a record 108:0 in history, it’s still better to calmly play with ants and locusts—it would be much more interesting, much more meaningful, and you’d have many people cheering for you. Have you noticed? Such things also exist in the human world, and we should all avoid making similar mistakes! Remember this philosophy: Knowing yourself allows you to estimate others more accurately. You don’t need to participate in a football match without a goalkeeper.
