"I got up at four o'clock in the morning and found that Begonia woke up." Kawabata Yasunari wrote, Begonia is open day and night. Why can it produce a different kind of beauty when it gets up at four in the morning?

That's because begonia flowers are completely integrated into our daily life. We bury our heads in study or work, but the beauty that is close at hand slips away quietly. When we take a step back and keep our distance from the begonia, we will enjoy different beauty like Kawabata Yasunari.

Why does distance produce beauty? Probably because distance allows people to grasp things macroscopically, and more importantly, distance brings unknown mystery and triggers people's beautiful fantasies.

Before the United States landed on the moon, beautiful legends about the moon, such as the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, were already circulating in China. However, when the astronauts brought back a few cold stones and sent back some "devastated" photos of the moon, fairy tales and legends ceased to exist. From then on, when people talk about the moon, they will only think of a desolate ball, not Jade Rabbit, Guanghan Palace and WU GANG.

Looking at the moon from a distance makes people have a beautiful daydream; Look at the moon carefully, and all people get are a few cold stones. This is the wonderful function of distance.

So how can we quit and experience the neglected beauty in life?

It is impossible for people to say that they suddenly immigrated to the moon collectively and looked after their homes on the moon. Then feel different beauty. The distance here is the distance of the soul.

In a materialistic society, people's hearts are always wrapped in fame and fortune, so that they can't appreciate the beauty around them. So keep a distance from utilitarianism.

When we stop studying for exam scores, we will find that the knowledge in books is so interesting; When we slow down the pace of going to work and school, you will find how vibrant the green trees on the street are. Life is full of poetry. What people lack is a proper distance.

When our hearts are liberated and we keep a distance from foreign objects, we will find that the sky is the sky that gives me the desire to soar; The earth is the earth bearing all things; The ocean is the one that gave birth to the first life.

Let's take a step back and keep a proper distance, and the beauty around us will appear one after another.
