Theme: Implicit

The 22 cards of the Major Arcana are often considered the most important cards of the deck, revealing the transmigration and provoking connotation of human life. Among which, the Hermit card at No. 9 is most meaningful symbolic of inner seeking, introspection and contemplation. While double 9 in Chinese implies in the final analysis, we choose the method of inner tracking to further explore seclusion mind of our modern society at the end of year 2017. It's concluded as below 3 chapters in our event.
First is about the cause of seclusion, it's indicated from Plato'quote that "We have been looking for, but he had already had; we always look around, but missed what you want", we should follow the path of fulfilling our inner peace, what the joyful is deserved to be appreciated, rather than staying in suffering.
Second is about the melody of pursing seclusion, it's released from history that a man of letters and refined scholar in ancient times tended to live in seclusion no matter how excellent ability he had shown to society, still seclusion is a dreaming life. We could see from the case of Beethoven that even he couldn't hear anything, he composed the famous Symphony of Pastoral afterwards due to the melody of music in his heart rather than relying on ears. Same apply for our common people.
Third is about addiction to seclusion, it's always regarded persistent as a key role to success, good intention might spark at start, but you probably need to experience a very long and lonely journey till final success. We should have the faith and live as a hermit before success is revealed.
Implicit as it indicates in "implicit function", only when independent variable is given that it will be explicit.
