There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden
shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such
things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are
resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the
same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.

In the end, how wet you get is proportional to the time
you are in the rain.
