A story about an astronomer .. I only remember roughly. ..

Thales, an ancient Greek philosopher and astronomer, saw the stars one night and predicted that it would rain tomorrow, but he accidentally fell into the pit under his feet. When someone saved him, he told the other person the prophecy. The person who saved him didn't think so, and laughed at him for looking at the sky instead of his feet and falling into the pit. As a result, it rained the next day. However, Thales' prediction became a joke, and many people laughed at him. Philosophers became synonymous with "only paying attention to the sky and ignoring reality". Two thousand years later, the German classical philosopher Hegel heard this story and proved to be a philosopher. He commented: "Only those who lie in the pit forever and never look up at the sky will not fall into the pit."

This story illustrates a lot of truth. Philosophers (astronomy is also philosophy) are obsessed with research and often don't pay attention to the details of life. Therefore, they are not understood, regarded as weirdos and even ridiculed. But to learn philosophy well, we should be like Thales, which is a kind of exploration spirit that philosophers should have. In order to understand the world and their own ideals, they can ignore everything and reach the realm of selflessness. Philosophy is the crystallization of human wisdom and the noblest and greatest discipline. This is why only philosophers are qualified to be called sages.
