In this age of whimsy, there are always some points of view that leave us jaw-dropping. There is such an online article, and the expert opinions in the article have set off a lot of waves - basking in the sun also has to pay taxes? This proposal is like a bombshell, stirring up a thousand waves among the public.
Imagine sitting on your balcony on a sunny afternoon, enjoying the warmth of the sun, and all of a sudden, that ray of sunshine becomes "priceless" because it could mean you have to pay a fee for it. Doesn't that sound a bit ridiculous? However, this is exactly the "whimsical idea" recently put forward by an expert.
The expert said eloquently that the sun, as a natural resource, should belong to the state. He cites scriptures and lists a series of international practices in an attempt to justify this view. Not only that, but he also extended this logic to other natural resources such as air energy, arguing that the use of these resources for photovoltaic power generation, heating and other behaviors should pay for the corresponding expenses.
As soon as this idea was put forward, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Some netizens joked: "According to this, you have to pay taxes for fart?" Although this is just a joke, it expresses people's dissatisfaction and skepticism about this view.
First of all, we must be clear: the sun and air are gifts from nature, and they do not belong to any one nation or individual. Privatizing these natural resources, or even charging fees on that ground, is undoubtedly a blasphemy against nature. The sun shines on the earth and the air nourishes all things, which is the law of nature and the basis for human survival. Turning these basic resources into tools for profit not only goes against the original purpose of nature, but also harms the common interests of mankind.
Of course, we understand that experts may have made this seemingly radical point from the perspective of resource conservation and rational use. However, whether the method is appropriate, whether it is in line with the actual situation, and whether it can win the support and understanding of the general public are all issues that require in-depth consideration.
In addition, we need to be wary of the deeper issues that may be hidden behind this view. Once the "sun tax" is introduced, will more natural resources be included in the scope of taxation in the future? Water, Soil, Wind ...... Will these natural resources that we depend on also become "commodities" and be clearly priced? Such a future is undoubtedly worrisome.
In this materialistic society, we are often tempted by money and interests, and forget our original intention. But remember, there are some things that money can't buy, like sunshine, air, and love. These are the most valuable treasures in our lives.
So, when we're debating whether we should charge for sun exposure and air breathing, we might as well pause and ask ourselves: What are we really after? Is it money and profit, or is it the selfless gift from nature?
In conclusion, I would like to say that the experts' opinions, while new, are not necessarily correct. In the face of such "wonderful ideas", we should keep a clear head, stick to the bottom line of human nature, and cherish every gift of nature. Because in this world, the truly priceless things are often the most easily overlooked by us.
On this subject, we might as well do a thought experiment: what would you do if one day you had to pay for the sun and the air you breathed? Do you choose to continue to enjoy these gifts of nature and pay for them, or do you choose to find other ways to meet your needs? There is no standard answer to this question, but it is certainly worth pondering.
Some people may say that this is unfounded, and that such a thing will never happen. But I would say that the future is full of uncertainties. In this unpredictable world, the only thing we can do is to remain vigilant and think, not to be fooled by superficial phenomena, and to stick to our beliefs and principles.
In conclusion, whimsical ideas like the "solar tax" are shocking and reflective, but they also remind us to appreciate nature's gifts more and not take them for granted. At the same time, we should also be wary of attempts to privatize natural resources, which not only violate the laws of nature, but also harm the common good of mankind. Let's work together to protect our common home on Earth!
