บท 1274: 577 Sad_1

As the young lady's cold voice fell like shattered jade, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Simultaneously, a shadow seemed to shroud over everyone's heart.

The phrase "evil deeds will incur divine punishment" echoed in everyone's ears, pounding rhythmically like a drum.

Most people live by the philosophy of seizing the day, as being selfish is human nature. When personal benefits are threatened, vile thoughts begin to breed. Once you taste the sweetness of victory, it's easy to deceive others and yourself further in the name, 'If one doesn't look out for themselves, they're bound to face destruction'.

People live their lives grasping for the tangible benefits right in front of them. Karma and afterlife only become concerns once you're on death's door, or so they believe.
