09 - Conquer not rule
Babel said slowly.
"I'm an elder, and I'm supposed to encourage a child's innocent dreams, but you and I just talked about the power struggle, and I can't treat you like an ordinary child."
The elder of the tribe regained his composure, "This is a foolish dream, the imagination of a fool, you can't do it. ”
She was able to listen because Rama showed something else.
He is a scholar first and Genshin Impact second, and the two identities bring two tolerances to the value.
Because Rama is valuable, his delusions are called by Babel the dreams of a child's innocence.
If he has no value, the tribesmen will just slap him in the face and tell him that you don't dream.
This is not a foolish blow to education, but a bloody reality.
"The elders of the tribe are vying with each other for power, and you want to get rid of those who don't follow your orders."
Rama sighed, "But at the same time, you teach the tribesmen at the bottom that they are all blood relatives and should help and support each other. ”
"It's not a conflict." Babel crossed her legs and looked relaxed, "The power struggle is a matter between us, but the power we fight for is built on the tribal people at the bottom. ”
"They are unwilling to support us, and any master mother or elder is all vain things."
"What do you think is the relationship between tribes and tribes for the whole desert." Rama continued to ask.
"Enemy." Babel pondered, "You don't have to go on. ”
She was well aware of Rama's rhetoric.
It is nothing more than an emphasis on the relationship between the desert and the rainforest, an emphasis on true hatred.
But·······
"Do you know what hatred is?" Babel's face turned cold, "In this tribe, everyone has to fight for survival, if your father dies at the hands of the warriors of another tribe, then you must kill the other party to dissolve the blood feud after you are strong." ”
"And at this moment, the other party's child is also full of hatred, and he will look forward to an opportunity to take your head away and pay tribute to his father."
"The only way to end hatred is to kill all enemies," she said, standing up, "because the dead will never act with hatred." ”
"You tell them that our troubled life is due to the conspiracy of the Rainforest people, and that we should unite with the other tribes······ So how are you going to calm the hatred that the tribes have hunted each other for 500 years? ”
"With your mouth and with your words, my dear child?"
Rama's expression remained unchanged, "You're in a hurry, Elder. ”
Babel's expression was distorted for a moment.
"You !!"
"Knowing the truth and practicing it are two different things." Rama spoke gently, "You know that I am right, but you cannot follow the right path, so you refute my immaturity, my immaturity. ”
"It's like, if I'm wrong, you're right."
Very classic means.
When I can't prove that I'm right, I can only beat you wrong.
You're wrong, and I'm naturally right against you.
"You're right, so what? Should the right ones be promoted, and should the right ones be promoted? ”
Babel sneered, "You're too young, Rama, this world has never been like this!" ”
On the temple, the rotten wood is the official, and between the palace and the majesty, the birds and beasts eat the ······
If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if your conscience is gone, then you can ······ Earn more!
The world has always been like this, it preaches good and good, but gives more room for evil and filth to live.
But that's not a reason for people to embrace filth and reject good.
Rama took a deep breath and spoke calmly: "If something has always been like this, then is it right?" ”
"Isn't it right that it has never been like this?" Babel flicked her wrist, "Then there's only one thing that's always right." ”
She can't convince Rama, and even has a tendency to be persuaded by Rama.
But fortunately, she still has one more thing that Rama can convince.
When words are not enough, use fists.
In Babel's concept of life, fists are much more useful than words.
Words are really limited.
Rama sighed.
This answer is not unexpected at all.
In the five hundred years since the death of the Red King, the desert has not been without capable people, and it is not that no one has seen that there are people behind the scenes to induce division and antagonism and provoke hatred.
But you see, what's the use?
He is your father-killing enemy, so you can say if you want to kill him.
If you have hatred on your back, how can there be no hatred in others?
You yourself are not willing to take the lead in abandoning hatred and uniting with others, how dare you ask others to give up hatred?
Compared with the unclear hatred of sowing discord, the deep hatred of the sea of blood is in front of you, and the dilemma of plundering materials to survive is close at hand, and a person cannot see the future too far.
When you look up at the stars, you can't forget to lower your head to eat.
When you can't eat enough, you don't have the heart to take care of the stars.
There are too many smart people in the world, but being smart has never been the key to getting things done.
"No one can quench hatred, Elder." Rama shook his head, "Including me." ”
"But power can suppress hatred, and force can keep people at peace for a while."
"And then, hope and the fertile land will change all that."
Babel laughed angrily.
She would rather Rama hadn't taken all this into account, it was the prerogative of children, they didn't have to think everything through, and adults shouldn't have such high expectations for children.
Even the desert where the survival link is harsh will give the little ones some chances.
It is the innate privilege of children to have the capital to try the wrong path.
But adults can't, and if adults do something wrong, they must pay the same price, and there is no need to be forgiven.
But that's not the case with Rama.
After thinking about hatred, he shook his head and said that he couldn't convince a group of people to give up hatred.
So he gave an answer.
"I will put the sword around their necks, and when they fear death and conquest, they will turn away their hatred and use it for me."
"And when I get the fertile land of the rainforest and bring hope and resources to the sand sea, they will completely forget their hatred and be convinced by the territory and resources I have brought."
This answer is far more absurd than not thinking about it.
I can't think about it, it's a matter of ability, and after thinking about it, I come up with this kind of answer, obviously I have a problem with my head.
"Just a vision?" Babel retracted her smile.
"No, something else is needed." Rama shook his head, "But that's the final answer. ”
"You're not going to make it." Babel shook her head, "Forget it, before the words, I think you need the education of fists and blades even more. ”
"That's what I want to show you, Mother."
Rama bowed respectfully.
An important but not very important thing, Babel was his adoptive mother.
