Chapter 69: Thoughts in the Heart4

Dream's brow furrowed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Princess Perberry's words are right, if only the development of the "individual" is considered, then there is nothing more important than life. If life is lost, then nothing is just empty words.

But the people on the surface who assassinated themselves didn't think much of it. They rushed straight over, using their bodies as sharp blades, not caring about their lives at all. In the previous discussion with Princess Perberry, Dream also realized that those surface people chose to end their lives in such a bloody way also had an intention - to make Dream fearful, even if it could not hurt Dream Dream's body, but also to make Dream Dream's spirit impacted.

But what good can they bring to them now that they are dead?

"So, surface people are not completely 'selfish' beings. "What do you think they can do by doing that?"

A surface man is commended for completing a task assigned by his superiors, and his family is rewarded even if he dies in the middle of the mission. This was something that Dreamy had known before, and Dream thought it was reasonable.

"Now that you know that, let's do more from that. Family members can be exchanged for other people, and being rewarded can be exchanged for other things. Princess Perberita continued, "What will happen if they don't die?"

"Something will happen that is worse than death for them. Dream swallowed and said.

"Yes, they have things that are more precious than their lives. The people of the Floating Continent are like this, and so are the people on the surface, but there are only slight differences. "But it is these small differences that make there great gaps in lifestyle and ideology." As you know, once upon a time, the surface of the earth was a 'group' that allowed people to live well. In that case, in the midst of continuous natural selection, the internal members of the 'group' that can survive should regard the interests of the group above their individual interests, right?"

“…… Wait a minute. "Dreaming has noticed something is wrong," if that is the case...... The people of the Floating Continent also regard group interests as higher than individual interests, right?"

"That's the point I'm going to make, Lord Dream. Princess Perberita said solemnly, "The people of the Floating Continent do regard group interests above individual interests. However, the key point is in the scope of the 'group'. Strictly speaking, the 'group' of the people of the Floating Continent refers to everyone else. In other words, the people of the floating continent regard the interests of others as higher than their own, and this is where the difference lies. ”

"Huh?" Phantom frowned, "What's the difference?"

Is there any difference between the interests of the group and the interests of others and not their own interests?

"Yes, it seems like there's just a bit of a gap in scope, but that's actually the most important point. This disparity in scope makes the ideologies of the people very different. ”

And most importantly, why is this happening?

Isn't it all that a person sacrifices a part of his own interests for the benefit of people other than himself? Why is the floating continent so peaceful and harmonious, while the people on the surface are intrigued?
