060 Cube Stars(8)
Marven didn't understand what Little Square was saying at all, and he had to interrupt Little Square's tirade and say, "You mean you just want to be alone for a while, and you don't want to be with those cubes." Right? ”
Little Square nodded and said, "yes." But they didn't agree. ”
Marven said, "Who doesn't agree? ”
"All of them are squares."
"There's no way to communicate with all the blocks." Marven thought of himself saying a word, and countless squares responded with countless squares, "Do you have a leader?" ”
"What's the head?"
Marven thought for a while and said, "It's the king, the president, the chief, the village chief, the captain and the like." ”
Little Square shook his head.
"And who's in charge here?"
"They have the final say." The little square replied.
It's them again. Marven felt that this matter was very difficult.
He suddenly remembered an incident from Mia's childhood. At that time, Mia had just learned to sit up, and could neither climb nor walk.
Mia is especially fond of stealing Marven's stuff. Marvin is angry with Mia.
Mom and Dad told Marven, "Marven, Mia didn't mean to rob your things. Because Mia is small and just a baby, she doesn't know that there is a difference between you and her. Think you're her, she's you, you're one person. ”
"Huh?" Marven thought it was strange, "I'm a boy, she's a girl." She's a little baby, and I'm a big brother. We're not alone. ”
The mother said, "But the baby herself doesn't know, so she will think of you as herself, thinking that your things are her things." ”
Later, when Mia began to learn to speak, she often confused "you" with "me".
For example, if Mia wants Marven to give her something, she will say, "Give it to you!" ”
Mia doesn't want Marven to stay with her, so she says, "I'm going to go away!" ”
The mother explained: "The baby was unidentified when he was young, and when he grew up, his language was unknown. ”
Marven couldn't understand what his mother was saying at all, but he could also understand that babies only learned to distinguish between you and me when they were growing up.
Marven is now five years old, and he sometimes can't tell the difference between his own and someone else's.
Mom called this distinction boundary.
Marven now saw the small square in front of him, and finally understood a little. The squares on the planet don't have boundaries between you, me and him.
"Then I'll talk to them." Marven let the cube get into the buggy and drove to the altar.
Marvin stood next to the tower where the king's heart was held and asked, "Which one is Transfiguration Altar One?" ”
A square jumped in front of Marven and said, "I am." Marven, what's the matter? ”
Marven told the Transfiguration Altar No. 1 about the idea of the small square, and the Transfiguration Altar glanced at the small square with a strange gaze and said, "Our Cube Star is a big family. All the blocks are part of the family. Our ancestors have been united and connected for generations. ”
"But. Sometimes people lose themselves when they are together. Every square is no longer free. You see, there are so many squares of you, and even you speak exactly the same. ”
"Isn't that great? We are all family, brothers and sisters. ”
Marven thought for a moment and said, "Then some people should be allowed to live their own lives." ”
Transfiguration Altar One said, "If everyone were like that, our family would no longer exist. ”
Marven suddenly realized that the situation of this cube star seemed to be the opposite of the giant star he had been to before-
People on the giant planet just want to stay away from others and live their own lives.
The squares on the cube star want to be connected for the rest of their lives, and no one will be separated.
Marven, who has the experience of building a fairy tale town on a giant star, knows that forcibly separating people and forcibly bringing people together are not right, and will not make people happy.
But how do you convince these cubes?
