Chapter 1993: Cognition Is Difficult to Change

Except for Aphrodite, most of the people have never been to the Almighty City, so how to go depends on Aphrodite. However, they may have overestimated Aphrodite. Although Aphrodite has been to the Almighty City many times and even lived there for a long time, if you say how familiar she is with this city, you really overestimate her.

Speaking of familiarity, Aphrodite, who is from the upper class of the Almighty City, may know a little bit.

But this is the lower city of the Almighty City.

Gods will not come here. Only low-end manual laborers will come here. Why do gods come here for nothing? A long time ago, there were actually gods coming here, and at that time, the gods had not fallen.

When the Pantheon was first established, it had a very clear purpose, and the founders were all like-minded partners. Everyone had the same goal and was goal-driven. At that time, personal gains and losses were not very important, and everyone was trying to build a good organization.

The Pantheon was not like this at the beginning. At that time, the gods and mortal believers had a lot of contact. Even the manual laborers in the City of Almighty would often see gods. Some gods would even take the initiative to come to them and spread their gospel.

But as the Pantheon grew in size and ruled more and more worlds, things became different.

With the development of the Pantheon, the gods felt that they had left their hometowns and now they finally had a career. Naturally, they wanted to enjoy it... In fact, if the Pantheon could continue to expand, perhaps things would not be so bad, but they obviously muttered about the cruel level of deep space in the universe. The gods are indeed very strong, but other civilizations in the universe are not vegetarians either, and they directly gave the Pantheon back.

As soon as they saw that they couldn't beat them, this group of stray dogs who left their hometowns immediately shrank back. It's not that they don't want to make progress, but they don't have much spirit, and they lose their spirit when they encounter setbacks. So they simply stuck to their own ways and started a closed-door policy, prohibiting their believers from contacting more advanced civilizations and suppressing new ideas within themselves.

In a word, after fighting for such a long time, can't I enjoy myself?

So the wind of enjoyment began to sweep the Pantheon!

So many gods with aspirations basically left the Almighty City, such as Asgard. Asgard has been full of vigor since leaving the earth, and several generations of kings have been enterprising. Naturally, it is impossible to mix with the insects of the Pantheon.

In addition, there is a series of marine gods. Although Poseidon has poor personal ethics and is considered an old rogue, this guy is not a big loser. He directly sacrificed himself for the earth and stayed in the inner world completely, becoming the cornerstone of the new world. And Poseidon's wife Amphitrite is a very good god. She doesn't like the atmosphere of Olympus, so she chose to build her own domain, and then never came to the Almighty City again... Of course, it is more likely to avoid Zeus, the super rogue.

You have to know that Olympus is narrow-minded, and Poseidon and Zeus have a very bad relationship. Amphitrite is so beautiful that anyone can guess that this grandson will never let Amphitrite go.

In addition, some messy gods have also stayed away from the City of the Almighty. These gods either live their own lives in their own territories, or start a new one like Asgard, but Asgard is the most successful.

So now the City of the Almighty has completely transformed into a paradise for gods.

Mortals?

Mortals are insignificant here, no one cares, and no one cares.

So the lower city of the City of the Almighty has completely become a place where primitive laws run rampant.

Such a filthy place, the gods will naturally not set foot.

Aphrodite knows nothing about the lower city!

"What should I do?"

Thor finally comforted his girlfriend. Just now, Kai's words "Just listen to this kind of words, they are all liars!"

But Melinoe was so angry that he wanted to argue with Kai.

A person's cognitive level determines his vision. If you don't see more scenery, you will always be trapped in your own cognition. This is the case with Melinoe. She grew up in an extremely closed environment since she was a child. Her parents don't want her to get in touch with the messy things outside.

The Hades is closed, so closed that they rarely communicate with other gods. Among the twelve main gods of Olympus, the god most familiar to Hades and his wife is only Hermes!

Hermes is a god in ancient Greek mythology, known as the god of commerce, travel, theft, magic, animal husbandry and sports. He is one of the twelve main gods on Mount Olympus, usually portrayed as young, energetic, holding a snake staff or with a winged hat.

In ancient Greek mythology, Hermes was the son of Zeus, who grew up hidden in a cave with his mother Maia. When he grew up, Hermes became a cunning and resourceful god, who was portrayed as both smart and cunning, often using various means to achieve his goals. Hermes played an important role in ancient Greek culture, especially in trade and commerce. He was considered the patron saint of merchants and was portrayed with a purse and a trading sign. He was also the patron saint of travelers, because travelers were an activity that coexisted with adventure and opportunity in ancient times. He was also considered the patron saint of thieves and magicians, because these professions often required skills and ingenuity. In addition, Hermes was the patron saint of sports and animal reproduction. In the ancient Olympic Games, people prayed to Hermes to bless the winners of the game. In terms of agriculture and animal husbandry, Hermes was believed to protect shepherds and their flocks.

In general, Hermes was an important god in ancient Greek mythology, representing a variety of fields such as business, travel, theft, magic, animal husbandry and sports. He wears winged golden boots and holds a magic wand, and can fly around as quickly as his thoughts. Therefore, he became Zeus's messenger and the messenger of the gods.

This person is considered a socialite of the Olympian pantheon, and he has a good relationship with almost all the gods. Except for Ares, this guy is basically the opposite of Hermes...Ares is basically only liked by Hera and Aphrodite, and other gods hate him... His interpersonal relationships are a mess. His sister Athens is his mortal enemy, his brother Apollo hates Ares, and Hermes also thinks he is a reckless man and a barbarian, while he discriminates against Hermes and thinks he is just an errand boy. Other brothers and sisters basically hate Ares, including his father Zeus, who also doesn't like Ares, his stupid son.

But Hermes is different. All gods welcome Hermes to come to their palaces to enjoy wine and music with them. At the same time, Hermes is very humorous. His riddles and jokes are traditional repertoires that all gods like.

Even Hades and Hades would hold a banquet to welcome him when he visited.

Because Hermes was the only god who could freely enter and leave the underworld besides Hades and Persephone. He once led the great hero Hercules to the underworld and brought Cerberus, the three-headed dog of the underworld, to the human world. When the ghosts of the dead went to the underworld, they were escorted by him, so he was also the guide god of the dead.

So all that Melinoe knew about the outside world came from her uncle. Who was Hermes? He certainly couldn't use those dirty and filthy things to scare other people's little princesses?

You know, Hermes was the guy who could say what he wanted to say to people and what he wanted to say to ghosts.

You know, this guy even treated Hera as a guest of honor.

Like all the gods of Olympus, Hera was petty and big-hearted. She was hostile to Hermes' mother Maia... no, basically all women who had an affair with Zeus. The same was true for Maia. Although Maia was a victim as always, she was seduced by Zeus. In addition to her own child Hermes, Maia also breastfed Arcas, the son of Zeus and Callisto. He was considered Hera's mortal enemy.

But Hermes could get along well with Hera. Not only that, he was often an important guest at the banquet of Queen Hera!

Such a person naturally could not go against the wishes of Hades and Persephone, so anything he said to Melinoe was embellished.

This has long affected Melinoe's understanding of the world!

Changing cognition is a very difficult thing. The so-called "it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature" is actually because a person has formed a certain inherent thinking and concept in his heart. If he wants him to make a change, it is almost difficult to do it. Only in this way can we realize the difficulty of "the prodigal son returns to the gold", because it involves our view of things and how we view ourselves and others. This may require us to spend a lot of time and energy to learn new knowledge and skills. Therefore, changing cognition is a very difficult thing.

Everyone lives in a different environment and receives different education, which results in different perceptions of the external environment. As time goes by and the horizons grow, personal perceptions are constantly improved. The perceptions in childhood are like a seed that takes root and sprouts under the catalysis of time, and gradually becomes unforgettable. The environment will have a subtle influence on a person's growth. Different environments shape different perceptions of individuals. When one is in poverty, one is despised and attacked by others without knowing it. In adolescence, personal perception is not comprehensive, so it is easy to be influenced by others. Emotions spread quickly. When a person's heart is full of negative emotions, it is inevitable that they will show some in the process of interacting with others. Everyone is an independent individual. When one is inexplicably attacked by others, counterattack is inevitable, so conflicts between the two sides will arise. A person's habits often accompany him throughout his life, because when he has not suffered a huge change, he is often confident. Many times, out of the maintenance of self-esteem, individuals are unwilling to change their behavior.

How to change your own perception?

First of all, you have to admit your ignorance!

In Mo Yan's "Late Bloomer", a passage gave me a deep inspiration: "Only when people know that they are ignorant can they become humble from the bottom of their hearts, no longer rely on their talents and be arrogant, and no longer be aggressive. So people always become more peaceful as they live. We call it growth. Growth is to slowly respect others as much as you respect yourself. Admitting your ignorance does not mean denying yourself, but to improve yourself."

This is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to sit up!

Just kidding, Melinoe is a god!

Have you ever seen a god deny himself?

Impossible!

Because this also exceeds Melinoe's cognition. She has been educated since she was a child that they are gods, the greatest and wisest existence, and they cannot be wrong!

So they enter a dead loop!

For the same reason, Melinoe does not believe that the dream of the omnipotent city is false.

Because she has known it since she was a child!

It's just like people need to breathe and fish need to be in water. It's natural!

Melinoe does not think that her cognition is wrong, so she naturally cannot believe it.

Fortunately, Melinoe is now infatuated with love, otherwise he would have fought Kai for three hundred rounds.

Thor is fine.

He has been to Earth after all.

Although Earth is much more backward than Asgard, its society is also much more complicated than Asgard... Of course, it is also possible that he was born as a prince of Asgard, and the ecology of the bottom of Asgard society is impossible to show in front of the prince.

But on Earth, he is just an ordinary police officer.

Yes, Thor was also a policeman on Earth, the 15th Precinct in New York... a policeman in the most messy neighborhood in New York.

There, Thor saw the sufferings of the world and understood how evil people can be.

So although he looks silly, he can accept the current situation more than Melinoe.

At least now he still has a sense of familiarity with the situation in front of him.

It seems to be back to that chaotic neighborhood!

The environment of the lower city of the Almighty City... Strictly speaking, it is not bad. After all, it is the Almighty City, even the lower city that the gods cannot see will not be really dirty and messy.

But the only fatal point is that it is very desolate here.

If I have to describe it, it is like the wasteland world in the movie Mad Max.

There are no production and living resources here, the land is either Gobi or desert. And there are countless garbage falling from the sky.

Everyone here needs to work and then earn enough resources for their own lives.

Those garbage will be sorted and classified by the people living here, and then processed in different ways.

Those with recycling value will be taken away and recycled. Those that cannot be used will be processed by the garbage treatment plant.

There are also many factories here that manufacture various goods for the upper city.

In other words, the lower city does not support idle people.

In addition to the scavengers, there are also big screws.

The sudden appearance of four idle people still attracted the attention of many people.
