a bit tedious you must remember you can
trust no one in this world you can only
rely on yourself not even your parents
oh all right grandfather perhaps you
should watch a little less television
and think about what to have for dinner
instead why eat Cho grandfather you've
just said that no one can be trusted
that no one is reliable so why should I
trust you why trust me why not trust me
ha well well said well said yio you are
right to think this way there is no such
thing as trust in this world not even in
the words of your grandfather the world
is full of hustle and bustle all for
profit only interests and benefits are
the reasons people engage with you and I
am no different do you know when your
grandfather was young there were always
many rats in the house so he raised a
cat your grandfather pampered it daily
ensuring it was well fed and well cared
for so it could diligently catch Rats
the cat lived up to your grandfather's
expectations catching several rats each
day once the house was free of rats it
could no longer catch any so your
grandfather gave it away but not long
after the rats returned prompting your
grandfather to acquire another cat he
treated this one just as well but its
abilities were far inferior to the last
It could only catch one rat a day and
sometimes none at all though the rat
population dwindled gradually it never
ceased entirely whenever I considered
replacing this cat it would catch a few
more rats dissuading me from doing so
over time despite the presence of rats
your grandfather kept it and it stayed
for several years point one day your
grandfather suddenly noticed that this
cat had become remarkably skilled at
catching rats often bringing back four
or five in one go but it always released
the smaller ones or those that were
pregnant each time it would only return
with one rat your grandfather was
astonished this cat was incredibly
clever if there were no rats he would
have no need for it your grandmother
happened to be superstitious and upon
hearing this she was filled with Dread
claiming the cat had become a spirit
after that your grandmother was Restless
waking from dreams and fright for she
was terrified of ghosts thus I suggested
giving the Clever Cat away but your
grandmother was too worried fearing it
would come back for Revenge so to ease
her mind your grandfather killed the
intelligent cat it was quite pitiful
wasn't he it it did nothing wrong did it
but it was a
after all catching rats was its Duty
though it had the ability to eliminate
all the rats it chose not to this was
its cleverness it never trusted your
grandfather and always considered its
long-term survival yet despite its
intelligence it was still just a cat it
did not comprehend that humans can be
consumed by fear losing their
rationality when something exceeds our
capacity to withstand yet we cannot
comprehend it it must vanish do of
course if you are a scientist in suit of
Truth you would not think this way but
the common people do not crave truth or
the exploration of the unknown they
desire a stable life thus the first
lesson you must remember is to trust no
one and always leave yourself an Escape
Route the second lesson is to emulate
the Cat s wisdom when the birds are gone
hide the good bows when the rabbits die
cook the hunting dogs when enemy Nations
fall the strategists perish if you
possess value that can be exploited
ensure that your value persists or
create value for yourself however these
two points are not enough you must also
disguise yourself blending in with the
ordinary or even appearing inferior to
them once you surpass others too greatly
you will attract attention and jealousy
when your power or abilities reach a
level that ordinary people cannot grasp
or accept they will fear you they will
regard you as a different species and if
