pens her understanding of human Nature's evil her thoughts on The Madness of evil reached theoretical Heights plunging her into a deep spiritual crisis as an idealist she seeks to dedicate her talents to a grand goal yet now feels that her past efforts were meaningless having experienced Despair and pain she feels compelled to reshape the world in the midst of such a profound crisis she receives a reply from the tri solar an the first alien civilization to respond for this she has waited for 8 y
ears at this moment excitement shock nervousness and a myriad of complex emotions flood her heart this may be the new ideal she can tirelessly fight for however with the message decoded the tri solar and kindly warns humans not to make a reply ye is also acutely aware of that if she responds Earth's location will be exposed inviting Invasion upon Mankind's home at this critical juncture the fate of the human race rests in y's hands for the first time she feels the power to control the destiny th
e moment she learns of the Extraterrestrial civilization she finds a cause she can dedicate her life to she may not understand the tri solarin but she is intimately acquainted with hell a hell that is rotten to the core could it possibly get any worse therefore he pays no heed to the warning let alone informed any one of the news instead she deliberately conceals everything and meticulously prepares her reply the fate of human civilization rests on these two slender fingers without hesitation sh
e presses the launch button and responds come here I will help you conquer this world our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems we need your Force to intervene thus a new idealism is born and put into action she will punish human evil with the aid of the tri solarin she has found a cause to dedicate herself to and she doesn't care about the price she has to pay whether it's her own or someone else's Le also finds an alien signal has been received but doesn't yet know that

atred however no one repents and everyone prefers to forget those things and move on with their lives which completely disappoints ye people not only commit evil without Scruples but also refuse to acknowledge their own wrongdoing even when everything has been exposed to the light of day they still try to avoid culpability using the evil of others as an excuse shamelessly seeking comfort and ease since human nature seems irredeemable he believes even more strongly that external help is needed in
her mind the small hope that had just appeared for society evaporates like Dew under the scorching sun and any doubt about the super betrayal that she has already committed vanishes without a trace the introduction of a higher civilization from the universe into the world of mankind finally becomes yes unwavering ideal y weni the main antagonist in the story of the Three body the Supreme Commander and spiritual leader of etto is thus born but why can the triar ran save Earth's civilization y we
na who does not understand understand the alien civilization at all holds a rather naive idealist belief if they are able to cross the universe and come to our world it means that their science has already reached a fairly high level in a society with such Advanced science is bound to have higher civilization and moral standards from the time ye appears on the scene she has appeared as a victim her father was killed her mother betrayed her and ye herself was subjected to rounds and rounds of pla
nting framing persecution and discrimination but we must not forget that she has always been an idealist like many young people at that time you once dreamed that the ideal world would definitely come but the misfortunes around her especially the injustices she personally experienced made her realize that her previous idealism was problematic the disillusionment of her ideals caused her to experience a great spiritual emptiness but she did not become a mediocre and return to her daily life the f
act that she can walk into the red Coast base without hesitation even at the cost of ending up there indicates that she is not suum coming to her fate but rather seeking a new ideal the reply from the triar an provides a place for this new ideal to materialize once it is birthed she throws herself into the Earth tric Solaris movement with the same Zeal as others throw themselves into the cultural revolution she's not bad she's not stupid she's just obsessed with her ideals thanks for joining zom
