《Ocean - Discovery Bay - Horse - Tolerant Mind》, Painted by Dawnxisoul393

Hong Kong's Lantau Island, in the shape of a leisurely horse, has created its graceful and gorgeous coastline. Discovery Bay Beach is known as one of the most beautiful beaches on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The coastline here is winding, and the mountains on the shore are towering. The streets of Discovery Bay are clean and lush with flowers and trees. The spacious avenues are lined with beautiful Bauhinia trees. Discovery Bay is a dreamland. When you are there, she is not very real, after you leave, she becomes lifelike. The beauty of Discovery Bay can capture the hearts of every resident and passer-by, leaving a deep brand in their hearts. Private cars are not allowed to use and pass inside Discovery Bay. Golf carts and buses are used instead. There are many picturesque buildings and building facilities scattered in the original natural environment, and one of the most beautiful building facilities is "Discovery Bay North Square". From the second floor of the square, you can see the beautiful scenery of Discovery Bay North. On the other side, there are charming beaches and the sea.

When we were painting on a quiet beach in the north of Discovery Bay that day, many shops were not open yet, but it also added a sense of peace to the town. The morning on the Discovery Bay coast was very charming, the sea was so blue, like broad blue silk, all the way to the horizon. On the sea, gulls were flying and descending to the beaches, as if embroidering beautiful patterns on blue silk. The sound of the sea waves sounded like the lullaby our mothers whispered when we were babies. We stood on the beach, looking at the blue sea, listening to the sound of the sea, and breathing the fresh air of the sea. The fine sand seemed to kiss our feet, it was very comfortable. We were quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of us. However, a drizzle broke the tranquility of the sea. Drizzle was like silk, like thread, like fog, falling on the sea, leaving countless small water flowers rippling on the sea. Some sailboats gently passed, long "tails" like white knives, as if to cut the water in half.

The overlapping mountains were wrapped in layers of mist as if covered with a layer of the mysterious veil, looming, showing their gentle beauty. We didn't leave the beach and continued painting under the umbrella. The sea was hiding in the fog as if shy. Soon, the drizzle and fog began to dissipate, starting from the sea, where the gulls were exposed, ripples layer upon layer. When the squashy and fog were over, Doris said that she had just seen a brown horse in the fog. It sniffed the stones by the sea leisurely and stepped into the sea with its hooves. The appearance of horses in the fog was almost mythical Daniel thought. Daniel said that this should be Doris's illusion. Although Discovery Bay is frequented by horses, which are for tourists and residents. We see them on the road almost every day, but the probability of a horse on the beach is very small. Doris insisted that she actually saw a brown horse, and described that the wind blew the mane of the brown horse and waved it like a child.

Doris also said that the brown horse roamed the edge of the Bauhinia wood on the edge of the beach. Daniel said with a smile, "maybe the thick fog just gathered into a brown horse, which is the God of fog". In fact, we all love the horses in Discovery Bay, and we often see them in our dreams. Sea, beach, horse, Bauhinia, breeze blowing, swaying in the quiet world. Horse, a creature full of spirit. Since ancient times, horses fighting on the battlefield have had strong hooves and full courage, insisting on charging forward even when injured. The hairs of the horses rise with the wind, which is quite manly. They have gone through the ups and downs on the battlefield without fear. To get in touch with horses is not only to feel the heroism of horses galloping on the battlefield but also to understand that they have the spirit of hard work, calmness, and tolerance. However, the most important thing is that the character of horses is integrated with the spirit of tolerance of the sea.

In the present world, people who are unable to calm their minds and are in a hurry to achieve things should perhaps have the calm and generous spiritual connotation of a horse. The greatness of spirit is higher than the greatness of material. The spirit of tolerance is the reason why we have a spiritual connection with horses, and it is also the reason why we seriously study the character and spirit of horses. Tolerance can convey warmth, tolerance can resolve resentment, tolerance can create harmony. Tolerance means being open-minded and tolerant of other people's faults with a broad mind. Tolerance is one of the effective ways to resolve contradictions and misunderstandings between people. A fable, widely spreading in Asia told that two people went together, one on an ordinary horse, the other on a fine horse. On the way, the fine horse bit the common horse's neck and shed a lot of blood, but the common horse still went its way as if nothing had happened. At night, two people lived in the same hotel, the fine horse did not eat, did not drink, and was shivering.

The owner of the fine horse told the owner of the ordinary horse about this. The owner of the ordinary horse said: "It's probably ashamed of biting its companion. It doesn't matter. Just wait for me to bring my horse here and let my horse persuade your horse." After the ordinary horse was brought in, he used his nose to get close to the fine horse and ate with the fine horse. In less than an hour, the fine horse recovered as before. Because of tolerance, the sea gathers trickling streams and rivers, and human beings can achieve virtue and compose harmonious music because of tolerance. Tolerance is a secluded orchid in an empty valley, sending out fragrance. Tolerance is a strong pine on a high cliff, it becomes stronger and stronger after wind and rain. To tolerate others is to release oneself from the cage of heart, to liberate oneself, and to return a pure soul. In the story, the common horse's tolerance is to repay good for evil. Tolerance is a state of mind.

Tolerance is to forgive others for their temporary faults and to be a generous person in a friendly way. Tolerance such as water gentle, in the face of conflict is often more effective than extreme revenge. It is like a clear spring that washes away the momentary hostility between each other, and it is like a white lotus flower that warms the hearts of each, makes people calm down, so as to see the original reason for things. In the fable, the bitten horse wisely chose forgiving, and the two horses eventually became friends. If it had fought back, in the same way, the outcome would have been a lose-lose situation. The common horse in the fable is wise. It is wise to repay good for bad. A higher level of tolerance means not only neglecting personal gains and losses but also being able to warm other people's hearts with one's own love and sincerity. From the fable, we can see that the horse who made the mistake has realized his own absurdity and shame.

At this time, the bitten horse showed tolerance and comfort, bright and warm, which not only melted the ice in each other's hearts but also radiated the heat of love into each other's hearts. In this materialistic age, what people lack is tolerance, if we choose tolerance, we also choose understanding and warmth. The highest level of tolerance is not only reflected in the handling of an event in daily life, a person's tolerance comes from a kind heart, a person's connotation comes from a respectful heart, a person's cultivation comes from a kind heart. The person, who can tolerate others can make people tolerate him, the person who knows how to respect others can get the respect of others, the mind that treats people gently is always accompanied by making oneself peaceful everywhere. We should choose tolerance, this will not damage our dignity, but will help us cross mediocrity in the long river of life. Only with a tolerant mind can we understand the true meaning of life.
