Life will always give you many choices … but when it's your turn, you won't have any choice.
"I want to be a scientist! I want to lead humanity to progress. "
Yes, this is the most common dream of children, and it's also the highest goal.
As long as it's realized, I can guarantee my career, benefits, and reputation. However, most children soon realize that this is an option that can't be chosen.
"Genius … No, only a prodigy can do this."
Soon, the harsh reality would tell you that you were probably just a bad student or an ordinary person. If you wanted to become a researcher or a scientist in the true sense of the word, having the talent and talent of one in a thousand was only the threshold. You still needed enough motivation and hard work.
Talent is one thing, motivation is another. Without talent, you won't even be able to enter the threshold. Without enough hard work and motivation … you still won't be able to enter the threshold.
"Don't talk about hard work. Is there anyone in our industry who doesn't work hard? If you want to go further than others, you naturally have to sleep later than others. "
Many of the top people in the industry had no choice but to sum up their past. They could be actors, researchers, athletes, or even writers who stayed up all night to update. The pressure was so great that they did not have the time to take a break and rest.
When they were young, many people were worried about whether they should be a scientist, a celebrity, a masked hero, or a firefighter … When they grew up, they would self-consciously say, "Wake up, stop dreaming. It's time to go to work."
Most people will do it step by step. They will do what they have the talent for. If they don't have any special skills and don't work hard enough, they will work honestly. It's good for you, good for me, and good for society.
Rorschach is a negative example. He was influenced by various "fairy tales" since he was young, so he wasn't interested in success or heroes. Instead, he yearned for "the life of an ordinary person."
However, a series of reasons caused him to be further and further away from the life he yearned for.
If it wasn't for his talent, he would have died in one of his adventures. From the very beginning, he came into contact with evil gods. Without talent and luck, he wouldn't have been able to survive. It's unimaginable that he could grow to such a level in just six or seven years.
With his life in danger and his sister's heavy responsibility, he didn't dare to relax for even a moment. Hard work is more important than life in danger and the fear of death if he takes a step back.
On the other hand, he doesn't have any beliefs, so he doesn't have a moral bottom line. As long as he can become stronger, he can accept any method.
Blaspheme life? Blasphemy? Rorschach didn't care about these taboos in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone other people's opinions.
Rorschach was created by many reasons and karma.
The envy and disdain of others? It had nothing to do with Rorschach. In his own eyes, he was just an unlucky guy who was forced into a corner by fate.
"… I really didn't expect that life is neither holy nor righteous. It's just a series of coincidences and conditions."
Every day, Rorschach would sit in the corner of Titan Square, which had just gained fame, and watch the sunrise and sunset. He would watch the sunlight fall and rise on the sculptures, which was rare for him to be lazy.
From dawn to dusk, from dusk to dawn.
Looking back at the past, he was somewhat confused and puzzled. He still did not know what he wanted to do.
Coming to this point could only be said to be a coincidence of fate.
To explore the mysteries of life and the wonders of magic? To be honest, Rorschach didn't have much interest in it. He was under too much pressure in life and didn't have much time to cultivate his interests.
To be a professional paparazzi, to be a journalist? Rorschach was a little interested in this. After all, in a sense, "Absolute Reality" was able to reach this stage because of his hard work. It was impossible to reach this stage without his own interests and hobbies … To reach this stage in the industry, even if one didn't have an interest, one would be forced to have an interest.
Career and reputation? Actually, Rorschach didn't care.
Friends and relationships, social circle? The more people he knew, the more Rorschach felt that he liked dogs.
Looking for irresponsible parents? On this point, Rorschach and Lori both had some thoughts. It was hard to say how much Lori risked her life to come here because of this.
But Rorschach was different. After knowing the "history" of his parents, he didn't have much resentment. They had their own lives and careers. People had no choice in the world. For some things, they didn't even care about their own lives, not to mention their two children in the "safe zone" … Cough, it seemed that Rorschach wasn't as indifferent as he made it out to be. He still had some resentment.
And the more he knew about their past, the more he understood the logic of a disaster lasting for a thousand years. With the degree of disaster that the two of them caused, even if they didn't come back, they would most likely be free somewhere. Worrying about them was thinking too much.
However, this was more of an intuition. He felt that nothing had happened to them. But in this world, the feelings and intuition of family members were more reliable than any divination or prediction.
'What do I want?' This was something that Rorschach had been thinking about for the past few days.
It couldn't be helped. It wasn't that he was being pretentious or that he was suddenly immersed in literature. It was a need to take another step forward.
No matter if it was the so-called advancement of mortals, Titan's "becoming stronger and larger", or powerful individuals' "finding their own path", they were all individual self-evolutions. But at Rorschach's level, it was necessary to find one's own path.
Even if he didn't have the talent of being honest, Rorschach had to face his true self and find his own path.
At the peak of Mount Sainte, facing these sculptures of Titan, observing their paths, finding a path that belonged to Titan, and finding a path that belonged to him. That was the suggestion given by Titan. Most of the Titan did the same.
But on the tenth day, Rorschach still didn't do anything.
Seeing the sunrise and sunset, seeing the Descenders of the New God's Church coming and going, seeing the sleeping acolytes waking up from their daze, and seeing powerful individuals suddenly advancing and improving, Rorschach still didn't do anything.
On the eleventh day, he finally moved.
He patted the dust off his body, stretched his stiff legs, and went down the mountain.
On the way, he met an awakened Descender, who asked him with interest.
"Did you get anything?"
"No, I can't figure it out. Let's not think about it. I'll just take one step at a time."
