The disappointment of stepping on Aster is like a thunderstorm on a summer night, coming fiercely and catching people off guard. KOL round, analysis of team inertia instinct, unanimous pessimism towards the DEX Perp track, and rational analysis of what everyone calls "overvaluation". In the face of the skyrocketing reality, the slap on the face appears so pale and powerless. I've been watching Aster skyrocket these past few days, and my heart feels like a piece of lead, heavy and hard to let go of. Every time I step out and feel anxious, I habitually take out the familiar book 'Walden' in front of my desk. Fingertips caressed the rough pages of the book, and the inexplicable restlessness and depression seemed to be gradually dissipated by the quiet atmosphere in the book. When my gaze once again fell on Thoreau's proverb - 'Use the most beautiful stages of life to earn money, so that I can enjoy a little questionable freedom in the least valuable stages of life', I felt like I was struck by a lightning bolt deep inside and suddenly enlightened. When I first read this sentence many years ago, it was just a casual glance and a beautiful warning, without much thought. But tonight, after experiencing Aster's loss and facing the potential temptation and disappointment of the so-called dozens of times KOL round, I reminisced about it again. Suddenly, every word became heavy and powerful. It is no longer just words, but has transformed into a clear mirror, reflecting the most genuine struggles and desires in my heart. I suddenly realized that we often place ourselves in a huge cage in pursuit of external, quantifiable things - money, status, and approval from others. We gave up the chirping of birds in the morning, missed the sunshine in the afternoon, sacrificed the time spent with our loved ones, just to "enjoy" a little illusory freedom that has been piled up at countless costs one day in the future. Thoreau told me that what humans are born with is the most precious. Our real needs are actually simple and pure. A meal, a piece of warm clothing, a shelter from the wind and rain. We could have experienced every unique moment in life, felt the tenderness of the gentle breeze, listened to our inner voices, and pursued the intangible wealth that truly touches our souls. However, we are misled by those 'hypocritical and burdensome materials' and plunged into one' gold rush 'trap after another. I started to reflect, what are we really pursuing? We always think that the end of life is the pinnacle of wealth and the throne of power. But Thoreau reminded me that the journey to the end itself is the most precious and pure gift in life. Every setback, growth, and connection with the world we have experienced along the way constitute our unique life. But we often only focus on rushing forward, forgetting to look down at the road under our feet and miss the most beautiful scenery along the way. At this moment, I finally reconciled with myself. The disappointment of stepping on Aster is no longer a heavy burden, but a profound reminder. It gave me the opportunity to pause, re-examine my inner self, and contemplate what truly matters. Walden is like a wise man, without fancy words or passionate speeches, but always able to penetrate the mist in my heart with a calm and powerful force, allowing me to regain the long lost tranquility and peace. It reminds me that the most beautiful scenery in life is not in the distance, but in the present moment. What we really need is not more wealth, but less desire and a heart that can feel the world. Let's encourage each other, dream brothers and sisters!
