What are the Three Realms? Nothing more than the realms of the poor, the rich, and the powerful. That’s the food chain at work. People think they’re at the top, but they’re not. The law of survival is simple: sheep eat grass, wolves eat meat. People drew wisdom from the laws of nature, so humans eating humans is part of the food chain, too. If you think this law is wrong and want to change it, then congratulations: you’re the one who wants to defy fate. Many people will tell you that changing yourself is easy, while changing others is hard. But you want to change the law itself. If you aren’t struck dead by lightning, you might just become the kind of kid who gets candy. Since Heaven can’t destroy you, it will try to win you over. It will shape your circumstances, change your understanding, and raise your perspective, turning you into someone who gets to eat meat. Then you’ll worship its laws and tell the whole world that they are perfect. That’s human nature: when hungry, we seek food; when weary, we seek comfort; when suffering, we seek joy; when humiliated, we seek honor; while living, we calculate our gains; when dying, we worry about our reputation.
