The road of life is full of challenges and struggles. Whether it is against the forces of nature, social competition, or inner struggle, struggle has always accompanied our growth and progress. The ancients said: "Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless, struggle with the earth, the joy is endless, and struggle with people, the joy is endless." This threefold realm of struggle not only depicts the indomitable spiritual picture of human beings, but also profoundly reveals the wisdom of life to find joy in struggle.
Let's explore the meaning of "struggling with the sky". The "heaven" here refers to the laws of nature and the universe. Since ancient times, humans have been exploring the secrets of nature, striving to live in harmony with them, and even trying to conquer them. Countless scientific and technological innovations, geographical discoveries and even today's space exploration in history are all vivid portrayals of mankind's struggle with heaven. In this struggle, we enjoy the curiosity of the unknown, the breakthrough of difficult problems, and the sense of accomplishment of finally achieving the goal. This kind of fun comes from the exploration of one's own potential and the challenge of the boundaries of the natural world.
Let's look at "struggling with the ground". If "struggling with the sky" embodies the exploration of the macrocosm by human beings, then "struggling with the earth" is the practice and transformation of human beings at the microscopic level. This includes the game with soil and climate in agricultural production, the balance between resources and environment in urban development, and even the optimal layout of space in daily life. In the process, people have accumulated rich experience through practice, and learned how to use and improve the natural environment to meet the needs of life. From planting a seed to harvesting a barn full of grain, from managing a river to building a city, there is endless joy in every step of the way.
As for "struggling with others", it involves more complex interpersonal relationships and social competition. At the individual level, this refers to cooperating and competing with others, learning to deal with contradictions and conflicts in interpersonal interactions while pursuing personal goals. At the social level, it is a critique and innovation of social systems and cultural traditions. In the process of "struggling with others", individuals have achieved the improvement of self-worth, and at the same time, they have also promoted the progress and development of society. The joy of this struggle lies in the mutual motivation between people, the common growth, and the satisfaction of achieving higher ideals.
Although the three struggles are oriented to different objects, there is an intrinsic connection between them. Struggling with the sky cultivates our awe and curiosity about grand things, struggling with the earth exercises our patience and wisdom in details, and struggling with others sharpens our sensitivity and coordination ability in social relations. The three complement each other and together constitute a multi-dimensional experience of human struggle.
In modern society, these three struggles are still of great practical significance. In the face of increasingly severe environmental problems, resource scarcity and aging population, we still need to carry forward the courage and wisdom to fight against the sky and the earth, and seek a sustainable way. At the same time, in the context of globalization and informatization, the exchanges and cooperation between countries and people have become closer, and how to seek a win-win situation in the competition is also a question that we need to ponder.
Whether it is fighting with the sky, the earth or people, the process of struggle itself is a source of fun. It requires us to keep learning, keep surpassing, and finally achieve ourselves in challenges and realize our dreams. Therefore, let us face the challenges of life with a more positive attitude, and find our own endless fun on the road of struggle.
