There seems to be a key point in the situation of surface people, that is, "the owner of the granary is unwilling to help those who need food". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is not speculation in special cases, but common sense.

"That's where it's different. As in the previous situation, for the owner of the granary, if he wants to help others, he has to harm his own interests. He won't help because, 'He doesn't belong to the same group as those who need food.'" ”

Yes, not belonging to the same group. If the person in need of food and the owner of the granary are not the same group - not relatives, disinterested, not closely related - then the interests of the two are irrelevant.

If he hadn't stolen food, his family would have starved to death, which was clearly to the detriment of people in his group. In order to avoid this from happening, then he is bound to steal food to the detriment of others. The interests of others have nothing to do with their own, and this is an iron law that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people established by their ideology. It is not because the human nature of surface people is inherently evil and selfish, but because in the absence of resources, the only way to survive the group is through this "selfish" way.

"Their so-called interest for the benefit of the group is also a manifestation of selfishness. "On the surface, they will do whatever it takes for the good of the group, but in reality, their so-called group is nothing more than an enlarged individual. ”

Whether it is an individual, a family, or a country, they are all just a part of the world. If the people here harm the interests of others for the sake of some interests, then the world will not be able to develop well. Everyone harms the big interests of other groups for the sake of their own or the small interests of the group, which is almost diametrically opposed to the floating continent. In this case, it is inevitable that the floating continent and the surface of the earth will present a completely different social atmosphere.

After some explanation, the dream understood. She knew why the assassins had put their lives on the line to kill her, and why they had abandoned the Iron Whale. What she understands now is not the reason for doing it, but the essential motive for doing it—to harm the interests of others for her own sake.

The life of the illusion has nothing to do with their interests, so they can assassinate the illusion in order to destroy it, and the life of the assassin is their small interest, and the situation that the dream knows is the big interest, and in order to protect the big interest, the small interest must be sacrificed. The Iron Whale is a benefit to them, but this benefit may fall into the hands of the mages and become a scourge, damaging their interests, so they choose to sacrifice the Iron Whale to prevent the mages from obtaining greater benefits, which is also a way to obtain benefits.

"However, there is still something ...... the dream I don't understand something. Dream sighed, "How did they do it?"

"Hmm...... I don't think they're doing this because they're fierce, cruel, callous, or whatever. "It is reason, a clear judgment of what is at stake." If you want to live, you have to abandon your sensibility, which they have engraved in their bones since time immemorial. ”

"Dreams can understand, but they definitely can't agree with it. Dream said through gritted teeth.

"Yes. Princess Perberita looked solemn, "It's understandable, but it definitely can't be agreed." ”
