Empathy

Song Jinqing's eyes looked at the direction of the pit without blinking, this was a bloody killing directed by her.

These alien beasts, like humans, were originally the masters of this planet, but the change of cosmic radiation has brought disaster and endless suffering.

Humans can survive and reproduce in the wasteland with their own wisdom, but they can't.

Radiation alters the life trajectory of animals, trapping them in a cycle of endless suffering.

Ironically, even so, they have never gone extinct, and even if they have to pass on the pain from generation to generation, they have not given up on reproduction.

They truly adapt to changes in the environment.

And human beings may be the remnants of the old world.

So what?

She learned to think like an environmentalist about the relationship between man and nature. only to find that he could not feel guilty about the bloody killing in front of him.

It's so ruthless.

For the first time, Song Jinqing touched the other side of her soft heart, hard and cold.

But this hardness pulled her out of the previous series of frustration, insecurity, and self-blame.

Begin to face up to your own weakness and the correspondence between danger and control.

She remembered what a psychologist (in this case from psychologist Jordon Peterson) had said: people should have the ability to hurt others.

Life is a very difficult process, and you can't face it calmly, unless you have the ability to become dangerous, but this is not the same as becoming cruel. You have to be strong, terrifying, and peaceful. 】

[Innocence, weakness, and harmlessness mean that you cannot bear the tragedy of life, you cannot take any responsibility, and you will eventually become cynical.]

If you're not a strong person, your self-control isn't a morality; If you don't have the ability to use violence, not using it is not a virtue either. 】

Obscured by the thick orange-red clouds, Song Jinqing saw the vague outline of the sun gradually sinking into the horizon.

Look at the rats who are still killing each other.

She did extremely cruel things to them, but it was in no way tantamount to indiscriminate violence.

"The loss of life is indeed regrettable."

If at this moment, she doesn't kill them or simply doesn't have the ability to harm them, is that morally noble?

No! That's not right!

Weakness will only make her die a miserable death like a mouse in front of her.

[I'm harmless, so I'm a good person.] This is not right. 】

[Because it takes strength to be a good person, and it is very difficult. 】

Song Jinqing swept the miniature version of the horse chopping knife in her hand, and there was no slightest fluctuation in her heart.

"But I'm not sorry for that." She replied to Jing Yan.

Song Jinqing looked at the blue-green light on her fingertips, and the mutation brought about collapse, but also brought opportunities.

Humans began to have magical abilities and learned to use the energy that nature had given them. From the weak in the mutation, it gradually becomes dangerous. But compared to the harsh environment, people are still on the weak side.

What qualifications do the weak have to forgive, forgive, and reflect? That's the right of those who are on high.

Of course, she can pursue a higher sense of morality, whether it is advocating environmentalism or world peace, but that must be under the premise that she and her people are safe enough, and before that, she must first pursue strength and strive to become a dangerous enough person.

At that point, she thought she would be qualified to empathize with these aliens and help them find solutions to their pain as much as she could.

This is the high morality she should pursue.

"You're a surprise." Jing Yan originally wanted to give psychological counseling to the little girl, but she didn't shake in the slightest.

Actually, you are the same.

Song Jinqing wanted to say this.

However, out of respect for her friends' miserable childhood oppressed by the Great Demon King, she kept her mouth shut. She didn't need to convey any sense of identity to Jingyan at this time.

He used to be weak too, and only the weak would shoot at the weaker.

Fortunately, he did not sink into this and indulge in the thrill of false revenge, but chose to make himself dangerous in the face of adversity, and learned to use the ability to control.

Now that he has become strong and dangerous enough, he has the qualifications to face suffering calmly and reflect on the past.

Jing Yan said that people are complex.

Song Jinqing feels that people are also fragile.

And this vulnerability will be infinitely magnified when it is in a vulnerable situation, which in turn will stimulate a more complex human nature.

She could imagine, and just thinking about it was suffocating.

"To not let yourself fall into such a hopeless situation, you have to become strong first." At this time, Song Jinqing can do at this time, the most profound empathy.

……

"The self-inspection of the mecha is completed, and the repair of the energy cabin is 70% complete."

Finally.

Jing Yan took a deep breath and came out of the field.
