I remember that I 15, when I was 6 years old, was very sentimental. I liked to look at the starry sky and think about the future. At that time, I read a story that after death, everyone will become a star and rise into the air to look after people who are still living in this world, especially children. So every time I see the stars, I feel "Wow, so many protectors!" "That kind of feeling, whether to protect me or not, feels very kind. In fact, I was old at that time and studied physics and nature, but I still wanted to stay in fairy tales.
Later, the more I grew up, the more I joined the WTO, and the busier I was, the more impetuous I became. Busy with exams, graduation, job hunting, earning money, overtime, promotion and so on every day. Personal affairs are very busy, and it is difficult to see stars in the air pollution of the city (it is also rare to see a few occasionally). Therefore, whether subjective or objective, we can't think about life under the night sky.
Until last summer vacation, I took my children back to my hometown. Life in the country was still so simple and shocking, but it was the starry sky on a summer night. Just like what I saw when I was a child, I was moved by surprise: although the rural economy is backward, it retains the freshest air and the most natural starry sky, and the children feel very fresh. Every night after dinner, they will turn off the lights and go to the yard to watch the stars for a while. Sometimes, when the children are asleep, I quietly look at the vast starry sky and deeply indulge in it.
But to be honest, at this time, I didn't think about such philosophical questions as "who am I, where I come from and where I am going". The only thing I want is that nature is amazing and human beings are so small in front of nature. However, human beings don't know it, and they have been doing it all the time, insisting that "man can conquer nature." As a result, the whole earth environment was destroyed.
I was not an environmental worker, but with the destruction and irreversibility of the environment everywhere, I am more and more worried about the environment and more concerned about environmental problems. Especially when I see this rare starry moment, I will think that this is nature reminding people to cherish it with beauty, otherwise, once it is lost, it will be difficult to come back.
Is it a bit alarmist? But this is really my personal experience.
