In Ah Lai's feature-length ** "The Dust Settles", the image of the second young master of the fool has become a striking focus. He is different from ordinary people, not bound by worldly prejudices and complex emotions, so he is able to see the world in a purer and more authentic way. This seemingly simple perspective actually contains profound philosophical reflections.
The second young master of the fool is not swayed by the emotions of love and hate, which allows him to observe and understand everything around him with a more objective attitude. In the eyes of ordinary people, the world is full of complex emotional entanglements and conflicts of interest, but fools can see the essence of things through these complex appearances. This pure way of observation enables him to grasp the truth of things more accurately, thus avoiding many unnecessary misunderstandings and prejudices.
However, this pure and true perspective does not mean that the foolish second young master will be able to avoid harm altogether. On the contrary, he is more vulnerable because of this direct and pure way of observing. Because his heart is not protected by worldly prejudices, he must confront the cruelty and pain of the truth when it is laid bare before him.
However, it was precisely because of this direct and real experience that the mind of the second young master of the fool was also able to be in a relatively safe position. He doesn't need to struggle in the whirlpool of love and hatred, and he doesn't need to constantly calculate and fight in order to protect his own interests. His mind is like a clear lake, and although it is easily injured, it is also able to maintain a kind of purity and transparency.
This pure and authentic perspective is undoubtedly a revelation for those of us who live in a complex society. We are often held back by emotions and interests and are unable to see the world in a pure and authentic way. We often ignore the truth of things because of our own prejudices and interests. And the image of the foolish second young master reminds us to maintain a pure and true way of observation, not to be swayed by worldly prejudices, so as to better understand the world and human nature.
Of course, this does not mean that we should completely abandon our emotions and interests, but we must learn how to balance and deal with these complex emotional relationships while remaining pure and authentic. Only in this way can we truly understand the world and understand human nature, so as to find our place in this complex society.
To sum up, although the perspective of the second young master of the fool seems simple, it contains profound philosophical thinking. He sees the world in a pure and authentic way, able to grasp the truth of things as they are, but also vulnerable. However, it was this direct and authentic experience that allowed his mind to remain pure and transparent. For us ordinary people, this pure and real perspective is undoubtedly a revelation and reference. We should learn to maintain a pure and authentic way of looking in order to better understand the world and human nature.
