Enlightenment of "pulling out seedlings to encourage growth";

This fable tells a concrete truth: "haste makes waste." The development of objective things has its own laws. It is not enough to rely only on good wishes and enthusiasm, and it is likely that the effect will be contrary to subjective wishes.

People should give full play to their subjective initiative according to objective laws in order to do things well. On the contrary, if you only do it according to your own subjective wishes, even with good wishes and good motives, the result can only be counterproductive.
