Answer 1

Maybe no one would regard himself as foolish. But please look at what the man is doing in the picture: He is cutting down an old tree just to get the ball on the tree for his children, if so, how can we admit that he is wise?

Just like somebody abandons a watermelon but wants a piece of sesame, there are many phenomena which we can’t understand in society.

For example, a person who strives for power and wealth at all costs, would rather lose his happiness, friendship and even his conscience. Factories strive for profit at the cost of polluting environment. Wars between countries ignore people’s lives. All these phenomena are really imperious to reason, but they can be called one

name–strive for little profit at a dear cost. Therefore, when we are going to do something, we should count the cost and find the wisest method.
