Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5017 (Five Thousand and Seventeen) Oppression

"What do you think?" asked the Brown-Handed Man.

"What I was thinking at that time was... that even if I alone let go of that inherent notion, many other people would... still look down on the blue-armored people." The man answered.

"What happened to the man who cast the spell on you?" asked the Brown-Handed Man.

“Then he…he told me…that if no one was willing to take the lead, those people would be more likely to continue to suffer…due to historical reasons,” the man said.

The brown-handed man asked, "What did you think after hearing this?"

"I think...why should I...should I start this?" said the man.

"What did the spellcaster say after he understood it?" asked the Brown-Handed Man.

"He said...if a lot of people start this at the same time in their own places...after a period of time...more people's ideas will change." said the man.

The brown-handed man asked, "What are you thinking about?"

The man said: "I think... I am too lazy to bring about such changes, because how those blue-armored people live... has no effect on me."

The brown-handed man asked, "What happened next?"

"He asked me to... think about whether it would have any effect on me," the man said.

"What about you?" said the Brown-Handed Man.

“I didn’t think so at the time,” the man said.

"What happened to him next?" asked the Brown Hand.

The man replied: "He told me that different types of oppression may have something in common."

The brown-handed man asked, "Did you understand what he meant at the time?" The man said, "I understand what he meant, but...but I don't agree with what he said."

The Brown-Handed Man said, "When you heard him say this, what did you understand by what he said?"

The man said, "I thought at the time that he...what he meant was that...the fact that some people oppressed me...and...the fact that I oppressed the Blue Armored People...had something in common."

The brown-handed man said, “Why don’t you agree with this?”

"Because I think... the people of Tiecang bullying the people of Lanjia and... the people of Tiecang bullying the people of Tiecang are... completely different." the man replied.

The Brown-Handed Man said, "Did you think differently?"

“No.” The man said, “Before I had time to think about it…he…said the following to me.”

"What's next?" asked the brown-handed man.

The man replied: "He said... if everyone generally agrees that bullying shouldn't happen, then the number of people being bullied will naturally be... much less. The people being bullied will also be able to get more help when they are being bullied... whether it is behavioral help... or... spiritual support."

The brown-handed man asked again, "Do you agree with what he said?"

That person said, "I just felt that... it made sense... but... but what I was thinking was that... there are already so many unpleasant things in life... and if there is no channel to vent through bullying others... then it will be even more uncomfortable."

The brown-handed man asked, "What did that person say after he knew your thoughts?"

"He told me... let me think about it, if everyone generally agrees that bullying shouldn't happen, then in my life... would there still be so many unpleasant things?" said the man.

"What did you think after hearing this?" asked the man with brown hands.

"I forced myself to try to imagine... the situation he... was talking about..." the man said.
