Magus Tech Chapter 89: Life is meaningless

The study room in Prince Gero's palace is very large and spacious. There are many bookshelves inside, and the bookshelves are full of books.

When people who are not familiar with him come in and see the study, they will think that Gero is a knowledgeable prince who loves to read, but in fact, Gero has never read these books. The study is not his, although it is owned by him in name, but the actual owner is his teacher - a court teacher - one of the few people he trusts.

Gero walked into the study with disheveled clothes, and saw a silver-haired old man sitting in the study long ago, reading a book with great interest. Because of his poor eyesight, the old man put the book almost on the tip of his nose.

The old man looked very seriously and didn't notice his arrival at all.

After a long time, the old man became a little thirsty. He put down the book, took a sip from the cold cup, and saw that there was another person in the room. The old man was not surprised at all when he saw Gero just getting up, as if he was not surprised. Just shaking his head slightly, he was about to pick up the book, ready to continue reading.

At this time, Ge Luo couldn't help but speak out, looked at the silver-haired old man and said, "Teacher."

"Huh?"

"You said..." Gero frowned and asked, "You said, am I a failure?"

"What's wrong?"

"Look..." Gero said, "I can't compete with big brother in politics. I'm not outstanding in other aspects. I can't endure hardships, I can't bear crimes, so I'm not good at swordsmanship, horsemanship, etc. Insufficient knowledge, timid, and almost no prestige. To be honest, it may be a good thing for the eldest brother to become the king. If I become the king, I must not do well, and I may mess up the entire kingdom.

Recently, I have been trying wizard meditation, but even with some potions, the effect is not obvious. I feel like I'm really a useless person who can't do anything well. If I didn't have the status of a prince, but was the son of an ordinary farmer, I'm afraid I would have died long ago? I think it's really pointless to live like this. "

After Gero finished speaking, he looked depressed and hoped to be persuaded.

The silver-haired old man spoke slowly, and said to Gero, "No."

"Huh? Teacher, you mean I'm not that bad?" Gero's eyes lit up slightly.

"No, I mean, if His Royal Highness really becomes the son of an ordinary farmer, he will die very early. However, your life, Your Highness, and the lives of many people, are not lifeless. Meaning, but never meaning.”

"I..."

"Your Highness..." The silver-haired old man turned his head, squinted his eyes at Gero, and said softly, "Actually, you have to know, ahem, most of the people in this world are ordinary people. Whether it is a farmer's son , or aristocrats, there are very few people who have the qualities of courage, wisdom, decisiveness, and reason. In fact, there are not many people who are cruel, evil, cruel, and bloodthirsty. Most people are essentially the same. Small and ignorant, they can be called ordinary or mediocre.

Your Royal Highness, you are aware of your mediocrity, which is very good, you have already surpassed many people. And below, all you need to do is accept this mediocrity. "

"I..."

"What's so bad about mediocrity? Why do people pursue what they want? Once people have pursuits and desires, it represents the beginning of pain. People should actually be willing to be ordinary, so that they can get extraordinary Much happiness, after all, the world cannot be changed by just one or two people.

We... ahem, we are all just a group of bugs on the earth. We are born, we live, and we die. Our lives are not necessarily meaningful, just like the fat chickens raised in the kitchen of the royal palace. Your Highness, do you think there is any meaning for them to live? For them, they are meaningless, but only for us, because we want to eat their meat. "

"I..."

"Ahem... People don't necessarily have any meaning to live. The reason why you think about this issue, Your Highness, is because you are alive. In fact, there are so many beasts and people on the earth. Does it make sense? No.

As long as enough land taxes can be collected, the lord doesn't care whether the farmers in his territory are happy or meaningful. A hundred peasants, and a hundred other peasants, made no difference to the lord.

Prince, in my opinion, the whole world is chaotic and full of temptations. An ordinary person can easily get lost in it, be attracted by something, be it love, or wealth, or power, and then mistakenly think that it is the so-called meaning of life, and then pursue and struggle hard.

Maybe you catch up in the end, and then find that everything is nothing more than that. In the end, maybe I didn't catch up, and then I died with regret. In fact... these are all deceptions of life. Life is inherently meaningless. The difference between it and death is just being alive. Your Royal Highness, you are a prince, so it is your luck that you don't have to worry about food and heating like ordinary farmers, but other than that, there is nothing else.

You can be a good prince~IndoMTL.com~ and you can be a bad prince, but you are only a prince and you can't change much. Even your elder brother, the new king, is just a king, and he can't do anything casually to make the world change.

We are all worms on the earth, we live, or live with difficulty, or live with ease. Accepting that our lives are meaningless and then facing death in peace is all we can do. Do you know why I keep studying here? Because only reading can make me forget all this and get a moment of peace. "

"I..." After listening to this long paragraph of teachings, Gro felt that his whole body was not good. His depressed and decadent mood fell directly to the bottom of the valley, and he felt that the whole world was gray. Nothing makes sense.

The teacher in front of him seems to be right, everything is meaningless.

What he pursues, what he wants, has no value, and has no benefit except to bring him pain and trouble.

But Deep in his heart, Gero vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Is everything really meaningless?

What is the purpose of all people living in this world in a daze? Is there no one who really thinks of a really meaningful thing to do?

Unfortunately, he can't answer this question, maybe someone can answer it?

Lying limply on the wooden chair in the study, Gero couldn't help but think of the man he saw in the forest of the border Viscount Lanster's territory - the young wizard.

Is it also meaningless for the other party to live? The other party, if meaningful, what is it? Does the other party know the meaning of life and the world?
