Reluctantly giving up communicating with the observer, Gaia looked at the distant starry sky, slowly clearing her mind of all distracting thoughts.
The observer still needs to be contacted, and he still needs to understand what is happening in various places on his body.
When he first came to the world, it was still unclear why the humans he met attacked him. It was best to have conclusive evidence like today before taking action in the future to avoid accidental killing.
But what has been done is in the past, it cannot be changed, and even if it could be changed, Gaia would not choose to do so.
On the road of life, most of the time, creatures neither understand themselves nor others. When I encounter a problem, I don’t know how to solve it, so I always regret the past, worry about the future, and be dissatisfied with today.
This is why most people live miserable lives.
A Zen master once said that every minute you spend worrying about the future and regretting the past is a minute you lose and re-date with life.
In Gaia's view, there are always regrets in life, but you can't always regret the past.
Too many people spend their time and energy regretting their mistakes, thinking over and over again in their minds that if they had done so and so at that time, they would not have done so and so. Time passes by with regret, but the reality has not changed in any way.
No one wants to do the wrong thing from the beginning, no one wants to deliberately mess up their life, everyone wants to make the best decision for themselves at every moment. But who can predict the future?
Decisions made in the past were actually the best decisions based on the capabilities, resources, wisdom, information and environment at the time.
Regret is one thing, but wantonly revising the past is another. This behavior is undoubtedly denying the past self.
If there is no past self, what is the present self?
What's more, even if the past is really changed, new problems will continue to arise. What should we do then? Changing the past over and over again, trapped in time and a cage called perfection for the rest of your life?
That is undoubtedly the stupidest choice.
Gaia herself will choose to package the past beautifully, seal it, and store it in a glass cabinet.
But it won't change it.
When we anticipate something, we often only notice the good side, but when we actually experience it, problems abound, and we begin to complain, complaining about the changes in our choices, complaining about the deception of life, and complaining about being too impulsive in our past choices.
Sometimes I wonder if everything would really be better if I chose another path.
A blessing in disguise may be a blessing in disguise, and taking a long detour may encounter strange things that you have never seen before. It is only after many years that you realize that choosing another option is actually more likely to lead to the so-called success.
"Everything is the best arrangement."
This is true, but...
Sometimes it may take an hour to discover the subtleties of this "arrangement", and sometimes it may take decades.
The bricks of the past are being piled up, Gaia is sitting here now, at this longitude and this latitude, the body and shape created by nanorobots are all piled up by the choices of the past.
Maybe just because one more Hatcher was killed and one less “mosquito” was killed at some time in the past, Gaia may appear thousands of miles away with a completely different appearance.
Every creature makes a choice, tears, laughter, and everything else, and then experiences peace, suffering, and life according to its own choices, and just lives like this.
Gaia, who had already begun to enter the sage mode to think about the philosophy of the universe, sighed in her heart and clasped her hands behind her head. She was about to lie down and think about other things, but was supported by two pairs of small hands.
"Mila Miki, what are you two doing out here without sleeping? Be careful if Punk finds out and gives you a scolding."
Gaia, who knew it was the Demon Twins running over, asked calmly without turning around.
"Already slept well!"
"After all, Miramichi is also an abyss creature,"
"The rest needed is very short,"
"Hey, big brother, what are you thinking about?"
She ran to Gaia with a smile, and considering that the others were still resting, Miramichi's voice was much softer than usual.
Knowing that she couldn't hide, Gaia simply stretched out her hand, hugged the two little ones and lay on the wet grass while they screamed in surprise, pointing her slender fingers at the bright starry sky:
"Look, how beautiful the starry sky is."
"Yeah, indeed."
"It's a pity that this world is not beautiful."
Hearing the two little devils in his arms say this, Gaia didn't take it seriously:
"Not at all? When you look up at the stars, the stars in the sky are doing their best to blend the little bits of light together. Although they are not as brilliant as the sun or as clear as the sky, they are Dreamlike light spreads to the world, illuminating people's hearts, turning the earth into a strange place, and bringing beautiful dreams to people.
The night sky is the exit of this infinite cycle. Looking at the night sky, I feel indescribable joy. In a moment of silence, there is no longer any suffering. Look carefully, there are many bright stars twinkling, and there is no longer any jealousy, ugliness, or ignorance. , some are just happy and joyful. "
After twisting her body, Miramichi was still laughing and joking:
"But but!"
"The world is still ugly, isn't it?"
"The more beautiful the starry sky is,"
"The more it brings out the filthiness of the world."
He is indeed a devil, tempting others to fall at any time.
With a slight sigh, Gaia put down her hand and began to stroke the heads of the two little devils:
“Although I don’t necessarily know more than you, and I spend most of my life in a daze, but——
For this world, no one can understand the essence, and no one can see the whole picture.
Some people feel that the world is beautiful when they are treated gently. Even if someone tells them about the dark side, they cannot empathize with it.
Some people will be doomed by bad luck and surrounded by all kinds of ugliness. At this time, they are told that there is a beautiful side to the world, and they can't wait to exchange identities to make others experience pain.
Being able to look at the world with neither joy nor sadness is the pursuit of wise men and prophets, and what can be achieved is not humans but gods.
As for the world we are talking about, it is only created in our own minds using our experiences and knowledge. So I can completely understand that you two think this world is dirty and ugly, because there must be something dirty and ugly in your cognition and experience. Ugly things are seen.
I feel sorry for the filth and ugliness you see, because they bring confusion, confusion and confusion.
But at the same time, I also congratulate you. You have also gained a lot. You have witnessed the pain of others, the dirty and ugliness, and in the end gained the desire for knowledge and truth that is willing to think about all this.
Now back to your question, why is the world so dirty and ugly?
I don’t know, it’s just so dirty and ugly, and I have to face it since I was born.
But precisely because the world is ugly, we should live better.
Just like the starry sky in front of us, when you look at it, are you looking at the shining stars, or the gaps between them? "
(The starry sky that loses its gaps loses its beauty, doesn’t it?)
