On Rain

     As goes the saying "One man's meat is another man's poison," rain, too, is longed for and welcomed by some and annoyed by others.
     After a long time of drought, farmers, ploughing in the hot sun, thoroughly wet, now and then look up at the sky searching for signs of dark, heavy clouds. When they are attacked by down-pour, they, thoroughly wet too, still look at their crops and vegetables in the fields, their eyes lit up with delight.
     In contrast, city dwellers tend to think of rain as their great trouble. If the rain continues just a couple of days, they pray for a fine clay though a week ago they were utterly annoyed by the inconvenience of water shortage. Young. people,as is often the case, curse the rainy weather for spoiling their beautiful dresses and smart suits as well as their merry-making and luxurious dates without giving a slight thought to the danger of empty reservoirs.
     Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Rain can refresh all living things on earth, but can also mar everything on earth. It supports the lives of many, but sometimes deprives many of their lives. Floods, one of the natural calamities, destroy thousands of homes every year.
       From the above discussion,we can learn how to look at things dialectically from a philosophical point of view.
