Chapter 60: What life is
Yun stared at him, apparently beginning to get the link.
"Now you might question why would somebody do that? The simple answer is that he or she doesn’t like that person. The more difficult answer is somebody does some irritating things that somebody else doesn’t like. It makes them angry so they hurt the other person."
Yun thoughtfully said after a pause, "Like KaiKai pushed Mao in class? Mao was hurt!"
Mingshen brightened. "Smart boy indeed. Mao got hurt because Kai didn’t like him and so he pushed him. Your grandma is dead because your Mama and Dada got mad like Kai and so they made her dead. Your teacher must have punished Kai because he was being a bad boy."
"Yes."
"Similarly, your Mama and Dada are getting punished because they acted like Kai. But you need to understand the difference here," He raised his brow.
"Your friend got hurt, but he is still living. He is still breathing. So Kai will just get some scolding and extra homework probably. But what did I say about dying? You are gone forever once you die. That is bigger than getting a little hurt. Small wounds can heal but a stopped body cannot.
This means that killing somebody - making somebody die, is the biggest mistake somebody can make because that person can never come back. So when somebody does that, the rules, the law punishes them in proportion to that. Your Mama Dada will be punished for many years in a place called jail. That’s why, they cannot come to meet you and you cannot go to see them."
Yun trembled as his eyes teared up. "Mama Dada...bad like KaiKai?"
