The father, concerned that his son was wasting his youth recklessly, invited him for a walk. It was a clear, windless day. When they came to the lake, the father turned to his son:
- Look at the whole landscape: the sky, the sun, and the mountains are reflected in the water.
Dipping his hand into the lake and shaking droplets of water from his fingers onto the ground, he invited his son to look carefully at one of them: the whole world was reflected in it.
“The same thing happens over time,” the father continued. - One minute has all the properties of your entire life. It is a macrocosm, a reflection of your whole day, and one day is a microcosm of your whole life. Therefore, you must appreciate every minute of this life.
