Among all the goddesses in this world, surely they will get along, right? Right? Right?
I asked, "So they get along with each other, then?"
They were just looking at me, waiting for me to continue. I could sense their hesitation as if they were uncertain about revealing the truth. Finally, one of them spoke up and said, "Well, it's not always smooth sailing among goddesses...Just like any other being, they have their differences and conflicts too...." said the saintess...
"Well, if your goddesses themselves are not getting along with each other, what about their creatures?" asked I.
"There is still no big war or sort of war between each race, but there is some conflict between each other.." explained the saintess. "However, it's important to note that these conflicts are often resolved through diplomacy and compromise rather than violence...The goddesses understand the value of harmony among their creations and strive to maintain peace whenever possible."
"That's your goddess understanding? or do other goddesses understand about that?"
"What do you mean?"
"The Goddesses understand the value of harmony among their creations and strive to maintain peace whenever possible...Yet, they can't resolve the problem among them, and they have the guts to tell their creatures to maintain peace..."
She put her drink and said "That's a valid point. It may seem contradictory that the goddesses themselves struggle to resolve conflicts, but it's important to remember that they are not infallible beings... Just like their creations, they too face challenges and disagreements... However, their understanding of harmony and peace serves as a guiding principle for their creatures, encouraging them to seek peaceful resolutions in the face of conflict...."
It seems contradictory that despite their belief in seeking peaceful resolutions, there is still a lingering animosity towards the demon race...Even though they acknowledge that their Goddesses are not infallible beings, this prejudice remains...Perhaps it is a reflection of the complexities and contradictions inherent in polytheistic beliefs, similar to the stories of Greek Gods and Goddesses where the narrative would have been simpler if Zeus had maintained his chastity.
"If your belief is peaceful among the goddesses creatures, when Varania and Chis, the before demons, come here, why do you have an ill feeling or a hurt feeling towards them?"
"This ill feeling or hurt towards Varania and Chis may stem from a deeply ingrained bias or fear that has been passed down through generations. It is possible that despite their peaceful nature, the demons are still seen as a threat due to cultural or belief conditioning. It is important to challenge these preconceived notions and foster understanding and acceptance among all beings, regardless of their origin or nature."
That's a good argument from her. Some humans' hurt feelings are not about the fact that they hate them; instead, they are scared of them or envious of them. As she said, this fear is passed down through generations, so it's hard to erase this fear...
"So their prowess, their power, and their long-living creature, humans, especially all of you, have hurt feelings for them or hate them..."
"Exactly, this fear is deeply ingrained in our society, and it will take time and effort to overcome it..."
"Let's cut about all the societies that we felt fear from or scared of; let's just don't think that as humans who want peace with them...Does your goddess or your belief exclude the demon race as a peaceful race?"
"I don't quite understand your question?"
"Let's make it simple: you are the saintess, the apostle of Goddess Ainur...Your words and your actions should represent Ainur's words and actions... Do you think the demon race is a peaceful race or not?"
"That's depend..."
"Okay, so what do you see about Lilith, the demon lord? Is she a peaceful creature? or destructive creature?"
The saintess was hesitant to say anything; she looked at the others while the others were just enjoying their drinks. The saintess took a moment to gather her thoughts, considering the implications of her answer. She finally spoke, "From what I have observed, Lilith's actions have been more destructive than peaceful..."
"So it means you and your goddess want her to be stopped by any means necessary...."
"Yet, You can't just assume all the demons are like Lilith...There are maybe some demons who have "
"Yeah, sure, but what you want to do to them is not the way they want to; you just want these demons, who think differently from Lilith, to do as you and your goddess want to do, right?" I questioned, tinged with scepticism.
The saintessess paused for a moment, contemplating her words carefully. "I understand your concerns," she replied earnestly. "However, it is not about forcing them to conform but rather guiding them towards a path that promotes"
"A path of your belief and your goddess belief, not the path of their belief or their goddess belief..."
She continued, her tone calm and reassuring. "We believe that by embracing our beliefs and teachings, they can find inner peace and fulfilment...It is not about imposing our will upon them, but rather offering them an alternative perspective that may resonate with their spiritual journey."
"Still you and your goddesses have hatred among the demon race...You and your goddess Ainur just want the demon race to live like you want...Not let them live what they want...If you have the feeling to have peace with them, you will not pass out or be scared in front of Varania or Chistera..."
"Because it was a genuie of fear..."
"You know what, You like to embrace this peaceful coexistence between races, but you want all the races to follow your beliefs and your goddess...This type of matter surely will make the conflict between goddesses who live up there more problematic and difficult to resolve...I believe this peace and coexistence only comes from your words and your goddess's words because when I met Aella and Noella, they didn't even say about the conflict that happened..." Or maybe I didn't ask them, but still... I continued, "Instead of what I have seen, they didn't seem to have a problem with other races....Like Lilith, when she came here, she was genuine and clueless, and I think she didn't see this conflict between humans and demons as a big matter...So it must be from your beliefs and your goddess..." I pondered, realising that the lack of conflict awareness among Aella, Noella, and Lilith could be attributed to their unique perspectives and experiences as long-living creatures...
Perhaps their longevity has allowed them to witness the ebb and flow of conflicts between races, leading them to adopt a more tolerant and understanding mindset. Additionally, their exposure to diverse cultures and societies might have shaped their perspectives, enabling them to see beyond superficial differences and focus on shared humanity instead...It means just one thing, humans who not long-living creatures, don't understand what the long-living creatures have witnessed and thought; their thinking is different from what the long-living creatures are thinking, or is this just a feeling of jealousy? Or it can be jealousy from the goddess Ainur that she has a human race and wants to dominate all the races.
