成熟的标志-你享受每个季节(4)

The signs of maturity¹ 成熟的标志

 

You enjoy each season

 

你享受每个季节

 

 

Most of us have a likening for either summer or winter or spring or rains.

 

 

That's fine. But there is no need to get irritated whenever your favorite season has been replaced by another one.

 

 

There is a cycle of seasons and life forms adapt to that. No one can control seasonal² cycles and no one should control them.

 

 

So if you are enjoying changes in season, however abrupt³ they might seem, you have grown into a matured individual.
