Chapter 5017 (Five Thousand and Seventeen) Oppression
"What do you think?" asked the brown-hand man.
"What I was thinking at the time was...even if I alone let go of that inherent notion, many other people would still...still look down on people in blue armor." The man replied.
"What happened to the man who cast the spell on you?" asked the man with brown hands.
"Then he...he told me...if no one is willing to start this, it will be easier for those people...to remain in pain due to historical reasons." The man said.
The man with brown hands asked, "What did you think after hearing this?"
"I thought... why should I... start this thing?" the man said.
"What did the caster say after learning about it?" asked the man with brown hands.
"He said... if many people start this at the same place where they are... after a period of time... more people's ideas will change." The man said.
The man with brown hands said: "What are you thinking about?"
The man said: "I think... I'm too lazy to bring about this change, because how those blue-armored people live... doesn't affect me..."
The man with brown hands asked: "What happened next?"
"He asked me... to think about whether it had no impact on me at all." The man said.
"What about you?" said the brown-hand man.
"I didn't think so," the man said.
"What happened to him next?" asked the brown-hand man.
The man replied: "He told me that different types of oppression may have... similarities."
The man with brown hands asked: "Did you understand what he meant at that time?" The man said: "I understand what he meant, but...but I don't agree with what he said."
The man with brown hands said, "When you heard what he said, how did you understand what he meant?"
The man said: "I felt at the time that he... what he meant was... that there was a similarity between the fact that some people bullied me... and... the fact that I bullied the people in blue armor."
The man with brown hands said: "Why don't you agree with this?"
"Because I think... people bullying people in blue armor from Tiecang are completely different from people bullying people from Tiecang." The man replied.
The man with brown hands said: "Did you think about how to be different at that time?"
"I didn't think about it." The man said, "I didn't even have time to think about it...he just...said the following words to me."
"What's next?" asked the man with brown hands.
The man replied: "He said...if everyone generally agrees that bullying people should not happen at all, then the number of people who are bullied will naturally be...much less. The amount of assistance the oppressed can get when they are bullied will be... …More…whether it’s behavioral help…or…moral support.”
The man with brown hands asked again: "Do you agree with what he said?"
The man said: "I just thought at the time... it made sense... but... but what I was thinking was that originally... there were so many unpleasant things in life... and there were fewer channels to vent through bullying... That would be even more uncomfortable."
The man with brown hands said: "Did that person know what you said after you thought this?"
"He told me... let me think about it, if everyone generally agreed that bullying people shouldn't happen at all, then... would there still be so many unpleasant things in my life," the man said.
"What did you think after hearing this?" asked the brown-hand man.
"I forced myself to try to imagine... the situation he... was talking about..." the man said.
