'Ah. There are many who mistakenly believe that when they hear the word "godchild," everyone will like them and they will spend their days happily ever after. There are many who think that because they are loved by God, they deserve it. However, if a person does not have to do anything to make everything go well just because he or she is a godchild, then all that will be created is a foolish creature. A life in which everything is determined not by the will of the individual but by the will of God can only lead to misfortune. In human terms, it will only produce adults who cannot become selfish adults.
Adults who cannot be selfish adults.
A life in which one does not make decisions by one's own will, but in which everything is decided by God's will. That is the God-child that many people have in mind. A godchild who is protected by God, loved by all things, and just lives happily ever after. That is the child that most people think of.
But such a godchild would become an adult who, as Mr. Doroian says, takes it for granted that his will will be done.
Because everything goes well, he is a being who does not understand the feelings of those around him.
Even I, because I am a godchild, sometimes do not understand the feelings of those around me. I am acting on my own will, and although God is not taking care of everything, it is true even if I am just cared for.
Then, if there really is a godchild as everyone thinks there is, I am sure I would be a self-centered being. I was horrified at the thought. Would it mean that everything would be decided without regard to one's own will?
The phrase "adults who can't grow up" reminded me of my older sister. The sister I hardly ever spoke to and whom my parents never let me get close to.
The older sister who was taken in as a godchild and was selfish. I thought about Mr. Douroian's words that this sister must have been that way because people around her made her feel so special.
She said, "Also, I'm wondering about ......, where I was, when I was there, I didn't have a bad crop. But then it would go bad or something. So did the country. Do you know what that means?"
I think it's just another kind of automatic blessing. I know this from the gods I've met and the ones I've heard about.
It is said that the land where a godchild is born will never have crop failures or natural disasters, but that is not true. It is not that they prevent them from happening, but rather that they reduce the probability of things that originally had a high probability of happening. In fact, there have been disasters that occurred with or without a godchild.
"Lowering the probability?"
"Yes, that's right. I think so. The lands that had been plagued by disasters every year stopped having disasters and crops grew more easily. I think that the godchild is just lucky, so to speak. You've been lucky too, haven't you, Lelunda?
Yes. The most important thing to remember is that you can find food that you've been looking for, and everything you've eaten has not been poisoned, and you can find seafo ...... immediately after being discarded.
The forest is inherently dangerous. They are inhabited by demons and many of them are poisonous. Yet I never met any demons or found anything edible.
That probably means that the probability of finding something edible is high and the probability of encountering demons is low. Of course, it is not absolute, so depending on the godchild, even the godchild may eat poisonous plants or encounter demons. It means that the probability of being safe is higher than normal. And, as I said before, the place where a godchild is present is like a place where one's luck improves by itself.
A place where there are deities is like luck by itself, Doulouaian said. It increases the probability that crops will grow, that demons will not attack, and that natural disasters will not occur. But it is by no means a panacea. When it happens, it happens.
If the place where the godchild belongs goes through something terrible, we don't know what will happen to the godchild. So you could say that the range to which a kamiko belongs is a gradual extension of such blessings. I have heard that in the past, the whole country to which a godchild belonged prospered while the godchild was there. Of course, not all problems did not occur. And if the godchild loved the place, the remnants of the blessing would continue to grow gently after the death of the godchild. Little by little, the probability that had increased because of the presence of the divine child would return to its original probability. However, a place that the godchild does not love means that the gently spreading blessings of the godchild are suddenly lost. Lelunda did not love the place, did she?"
"...... yeah."
The village where she was born and raised. The country to which he belonged. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at your own personal life. The only thing that I can say is that I have no hatred for the village and I have no love for it. I had no hatred or love for the village, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I had no feelings at all.
If so, the place has just rapidly returned to its original form. The godchild is one who is loved by God, but God has not given the blessing of happiness to the whole organism. There are, of course, times when the influence of the divine child can be disastrous. The divine child is good for some people, but it is also bad for others. A land that rapidly loses the influence of the divine child and returns to its original form has no problems if it can cope with the ...... situation, but if it has become too accustomed to the situation while the divine child was there, it can decline rapidly. There are a certain number of people who will stop taking measures against disasters because no problems occurred while the godchild was there. However, there are also those who stop making any effort to grow crops, because even if they cut corners a little, crops often grow in the land where the godchild is located. In those cases, it would be something that would hit hard when the godchild didn't love the land."
On the land that the godchild loved, the remnants of the godchild's blessing will continue. The blessing is slowly lost. In the meantime, a response is made.
The land that the godchild does not love rapidly reverts to its original form in the absence of the godchild. That is why those that were out of touch while the godchild was there are hit hard.
I thought that ...... Kamiko is, after all, unusual and special, but - just not a happy, very nice thing.
Lan said that the village where he was born and raised suffered from insect infestation and poor harvests. That may mean that the villagers did not take any measures because the crops would grow even if they neglected to take countermeasures. Because, as I recall, the villagers were so desperate to pay tribute to my sister and make her better that they didn't put much effort into anything else. They were growing crops, but I never heard them discussing what to do in case of a bad harvest. Does it mean that they were not thinking about what to do in case of a bad harvest because they started to have good harvests?
Maybe ......, or perhaps a godchild, is in a sense a being that ruins the people around him or her. I feel indescribable when I fall into that kind of thinking.
Is a godchild something that ruins the people around it?"
I can only say, "It depends on the surroundings. In the first place, a being that doesn't deal with a bad harvest just because there was a good harvest in the first place, whether or not there is a godchild, if there continues to be a good harvest, it will surely take the same action. After all, if those around the godchild lost their diligence, that would be their own problem and not the godchild's fault. Of course there will be some influence from the godchild, but in the end such people will be the same whether the godchild is there or not. Well, if Lelunda cares about those who are by her side now, she should not overconfidently trust the power of the divine child. And he should take measures to deal with what happens after they are gone. If it is a place that Lelunda loves, it will gradually return to its original state, but there is no guarantee that disasters will not continue to happen. Just because it's less likely to be attacked by demons doesn't mean it won't."
Mr. Doroian continued to say to me.
