Chapter 53 Unreasonable

Shaar's words were cruel, and deeply impacted Arthur, a ten-year-old boy's worldview.

He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, his hair stood on end, and his body trembled slightly.

Alicia also fell silent, because she knew that Xia Ya was talking about a naked reality.

"Why did this happen?" Arthur asked again, his voice trembling in disbelief.

"Part of it is because of natural choices." Shaar said.

"In nature, there is a set of rules that make the world last forever.

For example, sheep eat grass, and wolves eat sheep. If there are no sheep on the grassland, weeds will grow wildly and take the nutrients of other plants.

Conversely, if there are no wolves on the grassland, the number of sheep will get out of control until the grass on the grassland is eaten up, making the land barren.

Then, the sheep will gradually die out due to the lack of food.

And if there are more sheep on the prairie, there will be more wolves. Conversely, if there are fewer sheep on the prairie, wolves will decrease accordingly due to lack of food.

All of them will be maintained in a reasonable balance, providing a circular principle for the world.

There are many such relationships in nature, which I call the food chain.

Of course, this is only part of the vast biosphere created by nature over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

However, there is one animal that somehow breaks the cycle. "

Arthur is very smart, he figured it out quickly, and said, "Human?"

Shaar nodded, "Since humans made and learned to use tools, they relied on wisdom to defeat all beasts and stood at the top of the food chain. No animal can curb their growth.

But human beings have not completely escaped from this world and jumped out of the iron rules of nature.

Human beings have no natural enemies, and in the end, it will evolve into another result.”

"There are too many human beings, so much that there is not enough food to eat." Arthur said in a daze.

Shaar smiled, "So, for the continuation of human beings, there must be something that can allow human beings to re-enter the cycle.

But in this world, only human beings can fight against human beings.

So, there is war. "

Looking at Arthur who was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Xia's words continued.

"Of course, that's just why war exists, not why this war exists.

In fact, many times, many wars were fought when resources were still plentiful.

This can be said to be a precaution against the future, but it can also be said to be due to human greed. "

"Human greed?" Arthur looked up at Shaar.

"Human beings are never-satisfied animals, because desires are endless."

Char looked into Arthur's eyes.

"After owning huge wealth, people will only desire greater wealth, and after owning a piece of land, people will only think about owning bigger land.

Desire is a double-edged sword. It provides human beings with upward momentum and allows civilization to develop, but at the same time, it also leads to all the things you have seen. "

Arthur looked around in a daze, and then he said, "I won't do this."

"Of course, human nature is very complicated." Xia Ya said, "That is the most elusive and hardest thing to identify in this world.

You can see the most selfless kindness and the most despicable evil in people. "

There was a little confusion on Arthur's face, "I don't understand."

"You will understand later." Xiaya said patiently.

"We can go back to the topic just now."

Xiaya watched him quietly, and after a while, he said.

"Do you think this is reasonable?"

Arthur turned his head sharply, and said excitedly, "It must be unreasonable! Why can you deprive others of their lives at will just to satisfy yourself!"

"very good."

Shaar closed his eyelids slightly, raised his cheeks slightly, and revealed a smile.

"There are some people in this world who always say that existence is reasonable.

They accept all the injustice and darkness in this world, and even take it for granted that the world is like this.

Glad you're not one of those people. "

Xiaya pondered for a moment and said.

"A long time ago, human beings were naked and drank blood, and civilization did not exist.

But because they wanted to keep warm, they invented clothing.

Because they wanted shelter from the wind and rain, they built houses.

Because they wanted to heal their wounded companions, they invented medicine.

He also felt that killing people or stealing other people's property was wrong, so he created the law.

It can be said that the development of human civilization so far has been created by people who feel "unreasonable".

Existence is reasonable, which means denying the progress of civilization. "

Arthur nodded half-understanding.

Char stared at Arthur and asked.

"So, do you want to change all that?"

Xia Ya's words seemed to have a kind of magical power, which made Arthur's heart beat slightly faster, and he opened his eyes slightly, but then, he said with a little confidence.

"Can I?"

"you can."

Shaar said seriously.

"You have the ability and the opportunity."

"But I don't know what to do."

Suddenly, Arthur seemed to think of something, he looked at Shaar, and said eagerly.

"Can you teach me!?"

The corner of Shaar's mouth raised an imperceptible arc, but he didn't answer, but said.

"Go in, this town can't stay any longer."

But Arthur didn't respond, but knelt down in front of Shaar, put his head on the ground, and said firmly.

"Please teach me how to change all this!"

Shaar lowered his eyes and quietly watched Arthur who was kneeling in front of him. It seemed that his body was trembling slightly because of the sea breeze blowing, or because the fear just now had not subsided.

"Do you want to learn everything in an instant?" Xiaya teased, "I can't do it."

Hearing this, Arthur raised his head and said excitedly, "You agreed?"

"I have a lot of time." Xia Ya said, "I don't mind finding some recreational things to do."

He looked at Arthur, "However, that may be very difficult."

"As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen again, I won't be afraid no matter how hard it is!" Arthur said, his eyes and tone were firm.

Xia Ya didn't answer, but continued, "Go in, your kitten is scared to death."

Youth's vows are always easy to come by, but it will take time to prove whether they can really come to the end.

Arthur came back to his senses, because of the shelling just now, Sonny was holding him tightly at this moment, shaking non-stop.

Arthur quickly picked up Sonny, gently stroked and comforted him, and led him into the house.

Perhaps because Calcifer was inside, the house outside the castle was still intact.

Alicia watched all this quietly from one side. She didn't interrupt when Shaar was educating Arthur. After Arthur entered, she spoke.

"You gave him an unattainable ideal."

Alicia looked deeply at the burning flames around her, "His Majesty Moria once wanted to change, but he gave his life and love, but he couldn't do anything."

"The difference between ideals and utopias is that ideals are difficult to achieve, while utopias cannot be realized.

The world is always built by idealists, isn't it? "
