Summary

This quote compares the inner worlds of men to the fluctuations and diverse landscapes of the earth's seasons. Just as the natural world experiences stormy and sunny periods, desolate deserts and fruitful oases, towering mountains and deep abysses, and the endless cycle of planting and harvesting, men's personal worlds also go through ever-changing experiences of joy, hardship, stability, and moments of enlightenment. It suggests that just as nature's landscapes vary, so do the complex emotional and psychological landscapes of individuals, where contrasting emotions, struggles, and personal growth are perpetually intertwined.
