"The blind man carries a lantern" is originally a joke, which refers to a person who does things without using his brain and only does unnecessary things. Recently I got a new interpretation from a friend.

This is what this 2 friend said: There was a blind man who always held a bright lantern in his hand when walking at night. Others were curious about it and asked him: "You can't see it yourself." , Why do I still carry a lantern while walking?"

The blind man said happily: "The reason is very simple. I carry the lantern not to light the way for myself, but to make it easier for others to see me. If you hit me by mistake, you can protect your own safety and help yourself.”

Once, I was riding in a car with three friends, so I borrowed flowers and offered them to Buddha, and then narrated this story to share with them. 4 After hearing this, my friend felt the same way and supported it with his own practical experience. He said, "I used to drive through tunnels and always didn't like to turn on the lights. Firstly, the tunnel is not long and the light inside is not bad. Secondly, I found it troublesome and thought there was no need to turn it on and off. Unexpectedly, one day I was hit by an oncoming car. The big truck hit me and I almost died. Later, I realized that the lights on the car were for the other party to see, because the car passed through the tunnel and the other party went from a bright place to a dark place, and it was inevitable that the vision would not be adjusted. It’s really dangerous to drive without turning on the lights..."

Five friends in the world, on the slow road of life, how lonely and dangerous it is (walking) for oneself (walking), good or bad, no one Know where you come from and where you are going.

If you can learn from the blind man holding a lantern, you can illuminate the way for others and also illuminate yourself. Always help and care for others, and others will be able to help you. This is what the saying "doing good brings happiness" means.
