There are roughly two forces in this world:
light and darkness. Some pursue light, while others fall into darkness; some
have to pretend to survive, while others choose to pretend.
My father always taught me to keep an open
mind and to be empathetic, that empathy is not entirely an innate trait, and he
also often reminded me that I need to develop the ability to think and judge
independently.
However, I can understand the above reasons,
but what I still cannot understand is: one day, my father suddenly shared a
passage in the humanistic care course: "Try to embrace the darkness, even
if it is the end of the world. The purpose of kindness is not to influence, but
to see, empathize, and pay attention to others. As for good and evil, there
must be deserved results. Because love is the only existence in the world; it
is the cause, the reason, and the result. We cannot always expect things to
happen in a good way, but we can prove its existence; on the contrary, we can
choose the development of things, but we cannot predict its consequences. Light
and darkness, love and non-love, are only a thin line apart."
Since this was not like the image of a
father who was usually quiet, and it seemed to imply that war could break out
at any time, doubts still surfaced in my heart, and I raised my hand to ask my
father: "Does this sound like embracing the enemy? Is there no bottom
line? Then, how can we explain to those who sacrificed their lives or innocent
people? Or, how can we calm the anger of kind people?"
When I was expecting my father to respond
to the relevant opinions in class, he gave all the students an extremely warm
smile and said, "You asked a good question! So, this is everyone's homework,
which is also our additional final report topic. Everyone has to report on
stage."
There was an uproar in the classroom.
The original expectation was instantly
turned into a rat shit. Therefore, when the bell rang, I ran out of the
classroom without looking back.
If you can forgive those who have hurt you,
if you can forgive them, whether intentionally or unintentionally, then you
must go through an extremely painful path; at least, that's what I think. They
let us suffer, but we need to look at our own darkness? Or even look at their
evil deeds and care for them and help them?
If this is the definition of kindness, then
I still don't understand the meaning of it? More importantly, how to balance
and choose between protecting yourself and your bottom line and your hurt
emotions?
All kinds of questions arose one by one in
that class.
However, perhaps this is not something I
need to think about or worry about at this stage. What I should face is the
gossip and cold words from my peers in the future.
As I hurriedly ran home, I heard someone
following me. The next second, I mustered up the courage to look back and it
turned out to be Tiffany.
"Why are you rushing so fast? I have
something to tell you!" Tiffany looked very excited, while I looked as if
things could be worse.
"You know what? The question you just
raised in class is exactly what I wanted to say! I've read through the history
of the universe, and the conclusion I came to is: those dark, evil forces have
not been affected by some factors, they have always been doing some things.
However, the highest purpose of our planet is kindness, so how can we get out
of this dilemma? And where should we show kindness, even if we really know how
to do it?" Tiffany was so furious that she seemed unable to understand
some truths, just like us.
"Maybe I should really ask my dad what
he's thinking?" I can't figure it out either, at least for now.
And this conversation with Tiffany seemed
to be the key, but I forgot this very thought-provoking topic because I was
worried about the troubles at hand.
Tiffany is my best friend since childhood,
she is from the Tiaan family, and her father is an old friend of my father. Our
two families often attend the same party at the same time, just like brothers
and sisters.
This universe is filled with various
intelligent life forms, which usually coexist in every corner of the world
through the exchange and transaction of materials or technology. Every
civilization, every race, and every family mostly abides by the cosmic treaty
formulated by the life universe, except for the Demon tribe.
They are cold-blooded, cruel, and full of
hatred, and some even have violent tendencies; they fall into the power of
darkness, mostly to gain dominance and control the world. The Demon tribe uses
control or threats to enslave individuals tempted by the mark of the beast, and
achieves their goals through seven means: pride, jealousy, anger, laziness,
greed, gluttony, and lust. They will use unscrupulous tricks such as deception,
lying, suspicion, provocation, and framing to create chaos, fear, and
illusions, and gain benefits from them to reach the dark abyss that we don't
know. What is the purpose? There is no definite answer so far, and we can only
infer that it will inevitably cause an inevitable crisis to the entire world
and the entire universe.
According to the analysis report of the
Blaine tribe, the Demon tribe will destroy the peace and balance of the
universe in an invisible way and at all costs.
Facing this powerful race, we have no
choice but to take action again. The countless lives lost, sacrifices and
contributions that have occurred in the past will never happen again.
However, perhaps it is precisely because of
the doubts and resentment of some tribesmen that, although my father's actions
in recent years have been clearly different from the weakness and vacillation
in the past, his supporters are getting fewer and fewer, and this is one of the
reasons why I am easily criticized by my peers. Some people criticize my father's
selfishness and arrogance, which have caused indelible damage and history; some
people accuse my father of being kind, and some people protest that the royal
family needs to be responsible for everything.
All the above disputes came to an end in this
chaotic war?
However, facing the darkness in front of
me, I felt unusually calm, unlike me who was afraid of darkness. Suddenly, I
saw a door in front of me, emitting light, so I moved towards the light source.
It was getting more and more dazzling...Huh! ?
Then, I quickly traveled through a time
tunnel similar to that in books, and I almost lost consciousness.
"ah……!"
Huh!? Who is the person in front of me? I
stared at this unknown space with wide eyes.
