☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- That's right. Well done, EdgeLord-kun! - she gently patted him on the back for his remarkable insight. - Everyone who contributed to this event, or in the case of "food" - sacrificed themselves, even if not willingly, deserves respect for this act. This has been the case since ancient times, when people were not content with the same level of prosperity that they have today. For the same reason, it is considered blasphemous when food is wasted, because then it turns out that the animal died in vain, as well as the efforts of all the people involved were wasted, and the favor of the Kami-sama-tachi, with which they gifted us so that we could continue our life in our earthly shell. Everything in this life is interconnected and has its own soul, and one is part of another, like a matryoshka doll, so it is very important to maintain this balance. For some barbarians from my world, this was not obvious, because their culture has gone too far into individualism and the fragmentation of any material or philosophical concept into separate, easily recognizable parts, but in my opinion, this is foolishness. Cut off a person's finger - and it will remain a finger only in form, but at the same time it will lose all meaning for which it was intended, and in fact will be equated with any other junk that you can see on the side of the road.
