Explanation of answer to Rootkit 7
Quoted from Puzzle One.
In the survivarium, only babies have a right to be loved. All the rest of us just have a right to respectfully request our friends and brooders to love us. Even if we are deserving, it is still not in our power to compel the love of another. Nor can we punish someone who, despite our deserving, refuses to love us. We can shame someone who does not acknowledge a favour, but in some karmas such as the blue, which is the karma of bodily communication and healing, we understand that feelings are delicate, that’s why we tend to privilege the opinion of the more passive one over the more active one in any physical conversation. Shyer people need more space to be happy in.
The hardest thing that the kids have to learn, as they grow older, is that their automatic right to get what they want as babies, starts to change as they become children. If they are happy, they barely notice where the ‘automatic’ reward becomes ‘conditional’. When they’ve told us that they’re bored and they’ve finished playing their games or eating their snacks, we place a little task in front of them, like tidying toys, and ping! A big fat red karma reward shows up, and new fun challenges unlock. Putting away toys means crinkleberry crumble and brorybread for lunch!
But soon kids realise that karma doesn’t just bring neat stuff. A kid who is good at pulling any given karma will find that people look at her with respect. Soon, people get to know the colours of your soul through karma. And there is so much admiration that you forget that all these people who love you aren’t actually obliged to do so. They’re doing it because they want to. If they stopped, you wouldn’t be able to do anything about it, but that’s okay, because why would you want them to stop? You’d much rather reward them with karma for doing it, and that makes them want to do it some more.
The point is, you don’t need to have a right to be loved if people are free to love you when you make them happy. You’re just very motivated to make people (and yourself) happy. But in hanyo town, you’re constantly threatened with the refusal of love. It’s all, ‘Fiddle these figures or the boss won’t love you.’ ‘Clean these stairs or the supervisor won’t love you.’ ‘Kill these people or the commander won’t love you.’ What they call love is just a short respite from unending hate. They hate you, but if you do as you’re told they will pretend to be your friend as long as it suits them. You see now that YOU are obliged to love them regardless. You are meant to sacrifice your time, your health, your happiness to them as though they are your children, but they behave like your enemies.
How do they get away with this? Only by making sure no other behaviour is possible for anyone, whether person or hanyo. If you don’t follow the hate-rules, you’re open for bullying, because you’ve shown ‘weakness’, as they call it. Their system makes no sense, and so they make sure you never get hold of any other system to compare it with, in case you figure this out. So the idea that love must be given without question by people to hanyos and their hanyobait is one of the lies on which hanyo town is based. The lie is very old: it was created back in the day when there were still homes and families. That world is long gone, but its lies are alive, because the hanyos are using them today for the same purpose for which they were invented: to steal the minds and bodies of people and enslave them.
