emptiness

Energy flowed into his body, and a gentle warm current flowed through him as if it were a physical object. The hunger subsided so quickly, and each time he had eaten too quickly, he would get a period of too brief gratification, followed by emptiness and boredom. What he needed to do was the way he had learned to deal with it in the face of emptiness. He knew that it would do no good to continue lying lazily, but would only push back the endless feeling of emptiness, and that it would come more violently later.

He rolled over and sat up, coming to the bottom of a dark tree. The tree was not too tall, just over a meter or less than two meters tall, and it was dark from the bare roots to the tip, except for the small round bean-sized fruit that emitted a ghostly glow, which looked a little disgusting. Pure white fruits are very rare in this world, and most of them are ordinary fruits with various colors, and species like this one with a dark body and a shimmering light are many more than white fruits, but they are also very rare. There should be energy in it, he guessed. He wouldn't absorb the energy in it, not to mention that he was already full now, and he thought he had discovered the fruit long before he fainted from hunger. Unlike white fruits, they grow from the ground just like other species. And the white fruit, which can be eaten by them for generations, exists on its own, without soil. He wouldn't do what he wasn't allowed to do, and as he turned to leave, he was attracted by a few dark shadows in the trees. It turned out that the tree was covered with insects, one on almost every tiny branch. The insect was as black as a tree, and it came in a variety of sizes, with the largest being at the top of the tree. If it hadn't been for the fact that it writhed its fat body back and forth in the shimmer of light, he wouldn't even have noticed its existence. There were far more fruits on the tree than he had thought, and the fruit was not a single growing ground as he had seen it at first, but clusters of them formed large clusters, but only a few of them gave off a faint glow, and most of them were as dark as the tree, and when he was not looking, he would mistake them for scattered small round bean-like isolated fruits.

Most of the bugs lay there motionless, and the fruit around them didn't shine a single light. The largest one at the top swings rhythmically in different directions. Every time he turned his body in one direction, the other side dimmed, and only when it was facing in other directions did a few fruits shimmer. The tree and it flickered and writhed at regular intervals, not easily noticeable, and what attracted him was the upward movement of a few bugs that were far inferior to it but also unusually large. Unlike it, it was pitch black everywhere they passed, forming black shadows, and it was this reason that he discovered this mysterious kingdom of trees and insects.

The strange behavior of these bugs made him curious. Fortunately, they weren't too far away, and they weren't moving slowly, so he had plenty of time to watch the bugs play. In dozens of breaths, several bugs came to the big worm and formed a circle around it in the middle. The big insect was half erect and didn't writhe, and the others were half erect and motionless, and the whole tree was pitch black, no longer shiny, barely visible. He got a little closer, barely recognising them. Time only stood still for a short second, and what happened in the next moment surprised him a little, and several insects on the periphery bit the big worm in the center at the same time and quickly sucked it dry. Almost at the same time, the whole tree was shining with black light, and the clusters of black fruits were clearly visible with a black sheen. The insects that were originally fixed on the branches and leaves greedily sucked the black light, and their bodies instantly doubled. The fat bugs at the top were also swinging their bodies in different directions like the big bugs before, and the black light had converged, but it should be too clearly visible, maybe they hadn't found a way yet, but naturally there wouldn't be much time left for them.

These bugs are supposed to live in symbiosis with the tree, just like them, by sucking the energy of the black fruit. They don't have to look around, the dirt provides them with infinite energy, but it also restricts their movement, if they can't hide well, they will soon be eliminated naturally, will they be like him at that time will be integrated with the tree and the soil, he doesn't know, he has no intention of continuing to observe these insects and their fate, turned and walked away. He knew that he had seen what he wanted, that he didn't need to waste more time and energy, that this time that should have been empty was in the past, that the next one might be tomorrow or someday, but now he knew he had other things to do.

The source of emptiness stems from abundance, excess energy needs new outlets, and everything around it becomes meaningless.

Premiere testimonials

Thank you to everyone who has the time to read the clumsy work by heart. What I want to say to my friends about the world in the book and the real world is that the values of the current world are suitable for the current world, and everything needs a process, but all the destruction of the good in this process will not be forgiven, because for the heavenly world, sometimes it can not be done, but it needs to be confirmed, and doing and recognizing are two levels of things... Some things are inevitable in themselves, accidental things can't change this inevitability, in the current world, if you use a higher standard to measure the current world, such as morality, will it be better?, moral people are respected, there is no morality or people under morality are at the bottom all their lives, if this is the case, will it become better, I don't think so, because there are very few people in the world who are truly morally noble, for more people, if they follow this line of life will be hopeless, you may say that morality can be changed and improved, I do not feel that this improvement is of much significance in relation to the present nature of mankind, and that such a change, if realized, would be more hopeless than the use of more material values, because at the present level of human beings, it is a fairer way for most people to measure their abilities by a more material value than to measure them by morality (or their equivalent in other natures), because the measure of human abilities by material means is less demanding of man himself, Of course, for a very small number of people, it may be ridiculous to the point of unbearable, but it is not the most painful, but the most painful thing is to have to change themselves to adapt to the values of this society and the stage in which they know very well.
