Chapter 5018 (Five Thousand and Eighteen) A Group
"'Forcing yourself' to try to imagine? Is it difficult for you to imagine?" asked the brown-hand man.
"Yes, it's hard to imagine." The brown-handed man said, "Because... I have never lived in an environment where bullying is generally accepted as something that shouldn't exist... I... I have a very hard time imagining it, because I can't even imagine it. I myself... don't think that bullying should exist in the first place. If I want to imagine that... that situation, first... I have to temporarily change my own ideas... I try to do it. I changed my mind and imagined myself as a person who believed that bullying should not exist in the first place... I finally succeeded in imagining it after a lot of effort, but... I couldn't imagine others being like that. "
"I've imagined myself like that, why can't I imagine others like that?" said the brown-hand man.
"Because...compared to myself...I don't believe that others would truly believe that bullying shouldn't exist in the first place." The man said.
The man with brown hands asked again: "Why don't you trust others?"
"Because... I usually get bullied." The person said, "I can't believe that those who bully me... think that bullying shouldn't exist." The person said.
The man with brown hands asked, "What about those who have not oppressed you?"
"I still don't believe it...I've...never heard anyone say that bullying shouldn't exist. When I was...oppressed...no one's actions made me...see it. That person thinks so." the man replied.
The man with brown hands asked: "When you think that way, the person who cast the spell on you must have known about it. What happened to him?"
"He told me... let me continue to try to imagine." The man said.
"Did you imagine what he said?" asked the brown-hand man.
"Yes." The man said.
"Have you imagined it?" the brown-hand man asked again.
"Imagined it." The man said.
"What else were you thinking about at that time?" asked the brown-hand man. "I just thought... if it was like what he said, the people who bullied me thought that bullying shouldn't exist at all, then... I wouldn't be bullied many times..." the man said.
The brown-hand man said: "After you thought of this, did he say anything to you?"
"I told you," the man said. "He asked me how I felt."
"How did you answer?" the brown-hand man asked again.
"I said in my heart...that way...I will...feel very comfortable..." the man said.
The man with brown hands asked, "Where is he?"
"He told me...let me imagine what it would be like to live in that environment for a long time." The man said.
"Did you imagine it?" asked the brown-hand man.
"Yes." The man replied.
"Did you imagine it quickly this time?" asked the brown-hand man.
"No," the man said, "It's difficult... it's still very difficult, it can be said... it's more difficult."
The man with brown hands asked, "Have you tried to imagine?"
"I tried very hard, but...but because I need to imagine living for a long time in an environment where bullying people should not exist at all...this...requires stronger imagination." The person said, " This is not the same as imagining someone speaking up for me when I am being bullied. In that situation... just imagining an individual standing up... is not as difficult as imagining a group of people like this... It’s more difficult than imagining it for other people.”
