‘Not even dog poop can be used in medicine’, ‘Rolling in a dog poop field is good for life’, ‘dog poop on a silk cloth’… It is said that there are 18 Korean proverbs that contain dog poop. Why are you suddenly saying such bullshit?
Today’s topic is Teacher Kwon Jeong-saeng’s 『Dog Poop』. As the proverb says, because dog poop is common, it refers to something insignificant and useless, or a lowly and difficult reality. Today, the traces left by Dori’s albino under the wall contribute to the creation of great nature. It melts and permeates your entire body.
He doesn’t pay attention to the fact that sparrows are dirty, and when he hears people say that the dirt that fell from the oxcart is dog poop, which is the dirtiest of all poop, he gets upset regarding his own uselessness. However, when spring comes and the dandelion buds that sprout from the spring rains start to bloom, the dog poop becomes fertilizer for the dandelions. Dog Poop, who had finally found his usefulness, happily hugged the dandelion bud with all his might. And the dog poop that soaked into the dandelion roots finally made a pretty flower bloom.
We held the year-end meeting of the picture book reading club with 『Dog Poop』. Years of practicing asking questions will shine like a dandelion flower. Because this question arose.
“When I said that dog poop is as useless as a sparrow or a lump of dirt, I thought of myself as useless. However, when the dandelion asked her to be her fertilizer, she willingly became fertilizer for the dandelion. Like this, I think life can change depending on how I define myself. “What do I think my identity is?”
The reason why it is important to talk regarding my identity as myself, not as someone else’s mother, is as follows. Because I need to know who I am to know what I should do. Also, I can immerse myself in things I like, gain the strength to endure things I don’t like but have to do, and prune away things I judge to be impossible or should never be done.
In a word, it means being able to discern reason. I can decide the direction of my life when the standard is not whether it is right or wrong, but whether it is good for me or not.
The common use of dog poop made flowers bloom, and similarly, the common use of ideas created good questions, and good questions make ‘me’ bloom. When something common has meaning, it can turn into something precious and no longer common.
Try a reading club next year to make your good thoughts valuable through books!
