Worrying about the sky is an educational fable, which describes two kinds of people: worrying about the sky and worrying about the sky. This fable satirizes those who have no ambition and suffer from loss. "Nothing is impossible to a willing mind." We should never be "modern alarmists", but be ambitious and open-minded, and devote ourselves to study and work in order to realize our lofty ideals.
This enthusiastic person's explanation of the fable of heaven, earth, star and moon is unscientific and can only represent the level of understanding at that time, but his spirit of caring for others and patiently inducing is still commendable.
The original intention of worrying about the sky is to advocate "let nature take its course and govern by doing nothing." This is a reflection of Taoist philosophy of life. Later, people often used the idiom "worrying about the sky" to describe unnecessary worrying about the sky.
