Futuristic Fantasy: The Far Future

Learn

"Before you begin this lesson, Keil, your teacher will ask you. What should a student have before taking knowledge from his teacher?"

Keil. He doesn't know. During his time in his village in a teaching, he was often absent. The reason is simple, because many people do not pay too much attention to education, then he follows the majority. Only Heil, the only person who often makes Keil come in teaching. There were only three teachers in Keil village. The men came from outside the village and taught the locals at the request of some elders by setting some conditions. But, they were still educated Munasians who ran away from the pursuit of the invaders.

Keil remembered one of Heil's words about the answer to a similar question being asked by his teacher now.

"Keil, teaching is important. Don't waste your time not learning in your youth. Besides, now we have an educated man here. We need to know what we don't know. The more you look, the more you feel alive. Make life have a purpose"

"Are they not just strangers looking for attention? Why don't they just leave. After all, not many cared about teaching or anything. They were just raving about 'counting', 'natural sciences', or something like that. Did they brainwash you?"

Heil slapped Keil very hard, even now Keil still remembered the taste.

"Keil, watch your mouth! If you always take the truth with what many people do, you will only harm yourself! And, respect them. They give with their hearts what they know. They are teachers to you, as are the second parents who educate you on the other side. Remember, that one day you will regret wasting this opportunity. There is no result without hard work, and learning is an attempt to see your future. And, you won't really be able to learn, if your heart contains only bad prejudices and arrogance. Then, behave as you are devoted to your parents, or you will forever never understand the benefits of what they are saying!"

...

"What's your answer? Is it a difficult question? You won't start today's lesson unless you answer exactly this question"

Keil held back his trembling teeth—grogi—. Started taking a breath through his mouth. Then, let his tongue say what his mind wanted.

"Be respectful.."

"Have you? Only it—"

"Be polite.."

"Be nice.berkap—"

"Enough! You'll mention hundreds of things that are almost similar. Answer firmly without going around in circles. Keil! Listen carefully, I'll only say this once, but you should always remember it for the rest of your life!"

"I'll listen to you.."

"Pronounce 'i heard and I did'. Never hesitate to be a man!"

"I heard and I did.."

"Pronounce firmly. The same words with different tones will mean different!"

"I heard and I did!"

"That's better. We're gonna start"

Keil took a serious stance. He will catch what his teacher says best.

"In the old words there are six things a disciple should have. Those words are thousands of years old. But, even thousands of years, a pearl is still a pearl. It will always be a pearl no matter how much time passes"

"The first thing a disciple should have is 'intelligence'. Without intelligence, a student cannot begin learning. A madman can't learn. A person without intelligence or a fool cannot learn. But, a person who is stupid and aware of his folly, he will be called intelligent because he knows his stupidity. In the origin of ignorance that no—human born with wakal— and in the origin of man is stupid—because it does not know anything—. Stupid can mean two, he doesn't know, or he doesn't want to know. Whatever, while you act out your flaws and stupidity. Then, you're the one who's smart enough to say"
