Explanation of answer to Rootkit 4
Quoted from Puzzle One].
Rootkit Three and Four may seem contradictory, but they are not. Remember I said happiness beyond the womb is only perfect in the pinch. The two sides of the pinch are nurture and protection, and when they touch, then all is well. We have to exert some pressure and spend some energy to keep the pinch tight, but then that’s why we’re eating and breathing. Happiness, when nurtured just enough and protected just enough, is ordinary and routine but also never boring. This may seem contradictory to you, but only if you’re reading this in hanyo town, where fun usually involves giving someone some kind of pain, or at least breaking and destroying things. In other words, hanyos protect their own happiness by destroying everyone else’s. It’s as if hanyos believe there’s only a small, dwindling supply of happiness in hanyo town and the only way to get more is to take it from others. We don’t believe this.
We believe that humans when left to themselves, that is free from coercion so long as they do no wrong, naturally make happiness for themselves and others. Just watch a bunch of kids playing, although of course in hanyo town you can’t do that unless you have privileged access, and I’m told also that kids are taught early to bully and dominate each other in hanyo schools. It’s not that we don’t play vigorous games here, or that we don’t occasionally get hurt, but nothing we do involves hurting someone as part of the rules, except for hand-to-hand combat training which is a special case of red, orange and violet karma, and is ultimately intended to counter a possible hanyo invasion. We pull blue and purple karma by shaking hands and saying friendly words after a practice bout, no matter how violent the combat was, or whether anyone got hurt. No matter what happens, we make sure our happiness has no victims.
From far away in hanyo town this may seem like a small change to make, but it means everything. To the hanyos, the purpose of life is to win, and no cost is too steep to pay for making everyone else lose. As a result, everything, whether it’s war, love, thought or even eating and sleeping, is defined as a game in which anyone who wants to be anything must compete. Hanyos compete against other hanyos for the big prizes, while hanyobait competes against itself for the crumbs, and also for the prize and reward of being chosen for the team of any given hanyo likely to win at the big games. You’re taught that the only possible happiness for you comes from helping your owner or your boss to win. This is only true if every other possible happiness you might enjoy has either been taken away from you or was never allowed to exist.
If you wish to be free of hanyo town, accept that your happiness is the only goal worth fighting for, yours and that of every other Survivor who travels with you. And that the only fight it will require is the fight to escape. Once you grasp this, you cross the line between their universe and ours, our happiness and their winning, between hanyo sense and Survivor Antisense.
