People are born small. Compared with mountains, man is just a tiny ant; Compared with the vast years, man is just a ephemera; Compared with the rolling world of mortals, man is just an irrelevant cell.

Facing the universe, we are small. The distance from the distant to the infinite, extending to the eternal time, makes us feel helpless and lonely. A song "Youzhou Tower" tells people's sadness. "I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, and my tears fall." A sigh, countless people regret it; A line of clear tears touched future generations.

However, people will not be humble because of smallness, nor will they deny greatness because of smallness.

But Zhuang Zhou, two thousand years ago, already understood all this. A man as small as a mole is dwarfed by Kun Peng, but Zhuangzi doesn't care. As long as people are in harmony with me, I will reach the realm of freedom. "Taking the meaning of heaven and earth and resisting the debate of six qi", man not only transcends heaven and earth, but also transcends the material world that binds him, wandering around Wan Ren and becoming eternal in the universe, and smallness can be transformed into greatness.

Maybe we will also think of Hawking. This little cripple has the whole universe in his heart. He analyzed black holes with human rational thinking and explored nebulae with the light of scientific wisdom. The Universe in the Shell contains the vastness of the universe in a simple shell, showing the message that greatness and smallness are only between a line. This is also a kind of greatness. Small means big.

In the face of complex society, people are insignificant. Every moment has birth, illness and death, and the vast sea of people can't stand the slightest ripple. There are very few people who can be called "great". Most of them spend their lives in the ordinary or even vulgar, quickly submerged in the pace of social progress and disappeared into the collision of people.

However, even though they are small and humble, people still promote the progress of society. The "dust" in Touching China is proof. There is a sentence in the award speech: "The dust is affectionate and the love is silent." Dust is not anyone, but it is indeed everyone of us. Every little person gives a small amount of love, and the love of thousands of people in Qian Qian will converge into a torrent. "Great love is speechless" because this kind of love has risen to the spiritual level. It not only saved the suffering people, but also saved the conscience of every mortal. This is also a kind of greatness.

The old chief asked the young people to climb the holy mountain to determine the heir, and only the young people who climbed to the summit got the position of chief. Because he wisely realized that man is small compared with heaven and earth. However, he doesn't know that this kind of behavior, this kind of cognition, itself proves the greatness of human beings. It's great to know you're young. Isn't it a great epiphany that you are still struggling when you are small, but you know yourself when you are small?

Small and big, the two poles of things, the front and back of coins, seem contradictory, but in fact they vary from person to person. Man is great when he realizes his smallness and observes the greatness of heaven and earth. Man is great because of smallness, and eternal because of greatness.

[analysis]

Based on the comparison between man and nature, man and society, this paper clearly highlights man's smallness and greatness: man is as small as ants, ephemera and cells, but from a philosophical point of view, smallness can be transformed into greatness; Relying on science, small embraces great; On the premise of love and mutual assistance, smallness can converge into a powerful force to promote social progress and civilization. Typical materials, both Zhuangzi, Chen Ziang and other cultural connotations, but also Hawking, dust and other flavor of the times. The argument is flexible and powerful, or extended or compared, with clear levels and prominent centers.
