The heroic sword flea had shed eleven layers of shells and was ready to meet the waves

Have you ever heard of copepods?

Copepoda is a suborder of crustaceans that contains many tiny zooplankton. These small zooplankton, after hatching, usually need to go through 6 nauplii stages and 6 copepodid stages, a total of 11 shells, to become mature individuals. And then, after 11 tough molts, the little copepods were finally able to—

Swallowed by a small fish.

So what? So? So as a copepod, don't live?

No, you can't.

Born to be a copepod, then one can only strive to do what a copepod can do, just as being born as a human being can only strive to do what a person can do. We can't expect to turn your palm and it's overcast, and then turn your palm again and it's clear.

We can't sit there and wait for everything to get better.

After all, we are just individuals.

Even if it is very difficult, very hard, even if it takes a lot of effort, it is likely to be unable to get the harvest - like a heroic sword flea (Cyclops strenuus) somewhere, after floating across the ocean, through the wind and waves, after a lot of hardships, fading eleven layers of shell, or swallowed by a small fish boy.

But even so. Even so.

Even so, there is always something we should do.

There are no two identical leaves, no two snowflakes with the same shape, and no life that can be replaced by others.

Life is so wonderful, the world is so beautiful, how difficult it is to live. Birds cross thorns, summer cicadas dormant on the land, heroic sword fleas, alone in the face of the raging waves.

I walked through the waves, through the aquatic weeds, and then at the bottom of the food chain, I finally saw the zooplankton and my reflection.

The heroic sword flea had shed eleven layers of shells, ready to meet the waves, and the small me.

Get ready to go again.
