It is often said that "knowledge and action are one," but I have a different perspective. In reality, there are many examples of "knowing that something is unachievable yet still attempting it," much like a gambler who, even when fully aware of the slim chances of winning, still insists on placing heavy bets; there are also those who feel confident in their victory, yet hesitate and dare not take action at crucial moments.
It is evident that "knowledge and action being one" is by no means an easy task; it resembles a long journey of cultivation. When outsiders observe with a cold eye, they can rationally judge; but once they are involved, swept up by emotions and interests, there are very few who can truly achieve consistency between words and deeds.
