The Northern Hemisphere where I live is now past winter and the spring equinox.
Today is a windy and quite cold day.
They say that when the wind blows on the outside temperature, the perceived temperature drops and you feel colder.
When the wind blows and brings cold, if you think about it in terms of Eastern humanities, it reminds me of a well that pumps up groundwater and uses it as drinking water.
As a well, it must have a wooden bucket with a long rope that touches the bottom of the water to pump up the well water.
In some cases, the rope on the bucket is too short to reach the water and you cannot pump up the water.
Nowadays, there are no cases of pumping up groundwater using a pump like in the old days when there were no water supply facilities, and there are even fewer cases of pumping up well water by lowering the bucket.
When you are in trouble, seeing the light outside the tunnel means you have come to the end of the tunnel, and when you ask how far you are from the summit while climbing a mountain, saying “It’s right there” encourages you, meaning that you should not give up because you can see the results right away.
An old proverb says, “A town can be moved, but a well cannot be moved. It does not decrease or increase. You drink the water from the well as you go. If you reach the point where it is almost useless, it is also like not putting a bucket in the well. If you break this bucket, it will be bad.”
Water is the life-giving water necessary for human life, so it must be managed well. On the other hand, if you look at the Seolgwaejeon, it means danger, so if you manage it well and overcome it, you will be able to achieve your desired goal.
The current international political and economic reality may seem bleak and daunting, but if you put in a little more effort and wait, you can release the clear and cool water from the well into the bucket.
At this point, the only problem is that it takes time for the bucket to come down and scoop out the water.
