cultivators generally choose:
• Desire: Indulgence, consumption, sensual pleasure, class temptations
• Evil: Conflict, hatred, whistleblowing, struggle
• Fear: Fear of rule, existential anxiety
• Sorrow: Exploitation, tragic narratives
They:
• Deliberately create wealth disparity
• Manipulate education and promotion
• Guide mortals to harm each other
• Strictly limit the distribution of "hope"
The meaning of mortal life is reduced to "emotional output."
Love and joy are considered:
• Low output
• Difficult to control
• Unstable
• Detrimental to rule
Therefore, they have long been marginalized and stigmatized.
