本杰明Tear Tower, Montelbaanstoren, one of Amsterdam's landmarks, to be precise, one of the monuments, located on the banks of the Oudeschans old canal. Therefore, it is old and old; plus tears, it seems to be vast. The tear tower is not shaped by tears drops, spire shape. Legend has been a lighthouse, not true. Legend has it that a woman waited for her husband to go on a long voyage, waited for decades, and after leaving her alone, the woman became a lighthouse, that is, the tear tower. The legend of the incarnation, although beautiful, is not true. The tear tower was built in 1516 as a part of the city wall of Amsterdam, the watch tower to protect the city and the port; The upper part of the tower was expanded in 1606, with spires added to form a tower of forty-eight metres high. From the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, the fleet of ships belonging to the Dutch East India Company sailed beside the tear tower. Legend has it that the family members who went to sea and sent off when the ship was departed here reluctantly, tears became dripping, so the tower was named the tear tower. The legend of the name of the nearby tower was named without tears, and it was picked by faith. Yet we are more willing to believe in ancient legends and myths, if only sad enough, beautiful enough, enough to add to our pleasure or strength, and even we are willing to worship. We have always been in doubtful affirmation of things or ideas we have identified, but we have always been inconceivable negatively about things or ideas we have rejected. Just as genetics of organisms, inheritance is basic and approximate; Mutations are rare, and mutations are rare to succeed and be passed on. In fact, from an evolutionary perspective, the real factors that shape and promote human progress are the struggles and cooperation between genetics and mutations. On the other hand, his engrossing, my vendetta, is also a great thinking. For example, the East India Company mentioned above has been a credit to Western history and a symbol of colonialism in the Eastern context. However, human tears are the same. The legend of the tower is also accessible in nature. Our ultimate choice is either to be different and to be unified. Either, in addition to tears, or tears. The people on the tower laugh, tall... far away...
