If the sand in our shoes leaves blisters for us and a terrible pain for our feet, what will the "sand" in our hearts bring us?
Edison, the great inventor, made a metaphysical mistake in his later years because he became more and more complacent. His stubborn opposition to AC transmission led to a fiasco. The great chemist David has a jealous sand in his heart. When Faraday was nominated as a candidate for membership of the Royal Society, the only objection was David, the president of the Royal Society and Faraday's teacher. He was worried that Faraday would surpass himself and endanger his throne. This vote was not enough to hurt Faraday's reputation, but it greatly defiled David himself. Newton is famous, but there is an idealistic sand in his heart. He spent 20 years trying to prove the existence of God and looking for the "first driving force" of celestial bodies from God, leaving a laughing stock for future generations. From this perspective, the sand in the soul is the ant hole on the levee of life. It can make us suffer for life: grand ambitions, beautiful ideals and lifelong career will be wasted. Even the giants will be troubled by it, damaging their reputation and career, leaving a mottled shadow.
Everyone's heart will be mixed with some large and small "sand grains". Such as (1) and so on. Edison, David, Newton and other world giants are still so, not to mention us ordinary people? Sand exists objectively, and the harm is so great, how can we take it for granted? Only by striving to improve one's moral cultivation, keeping a clear head, checking oneself at all times and being alert to sand grains can we prevent the invasion and harm of sand grains. Once sand intrusion is found, it should be decided immediately. If it is difficult to get rid of it for a while, you can also start from a little bit. In a word, sand can be prevented.
