溫故知新 Old wisdom, today’s insight — ONGO
Light Is Sweet, and It Is Pleasant to See the Sun
Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun.
The Preacher, who repeated "vanity" so often, praises light near the book's end — the morning sun, that ordinary light touching the eyes, is beautiful.
Did I once, even once, feel that a single ray of sunlight through the window today was beautiful?
📝Reflection
The Preacher, who repeated "vanity" so often, praises light near the book's end — the morning sun, that ordinary light touching the eyes, is beautiful. Where one arrives after passing through impermanence is not cynicism but a deep gratitude for the small beauty of daily life. That we live to see the light — this seemingly obvious fact is in truth a daily gift. As the Buddha said "be a lamp unto yourself," the light of life is not far off but at this morning's window. Only one who knows impermanence knows that this single ray belongs to a today that will never come again. And so it is the more radiant.
🌱Apply It Today
When you meet sunlight at a window or outdoors today, pause ten seconds to feel: "I am alive to see this light."
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
