Appreciate Beauty, Appreciate Life

I was going to see the maple leaves
To appreciate maple leaves
we cannot just watch one maple tree
After three hours' driving
I was approaching the maple forest
The closer we approach a maple forest
the more disappointed we are
In our imagination
maple leaves should be exuberant with a very brilliant red
In fact
we can never see this kind of red
In the sun
the leaves of maple forest have three colors
red, yellow and green
When we are close to them
we will find
every leaf is gnawed
and it has not a pure color but a withered one
To appreciate beauty
we must choose the best moment, the best angle, and the best distance
However
if we have never approached a beautiful thing
we will never know which distance would be the best one for appreciating
Life teaches us how to appreciate it
