Chapter 7380 (Seven Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty) A New Wish
Gray-Handed Man said, "Actually, it's not so bad."

“Oh, well, it’s not so bad, but if I think your explanation makes sense, wouldn’t you think your explanation has achieved its purpose?” the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man thought for a moment and replied, "My thought right now is: if I don't want to explain, then not explaining has already achieved my goal; if I want to explain, then explaining has already achieved my goal."

The brown-handed man said, "I am very pleased with your answer."

The gray-handed man asked, "Don't you want to hear me express how much I care whether you think my explanation makes sense?"

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "This is the answer I'd like to hear more of. It's made me think of a lot of things."

The gray-handed man asked, "What scenarios have you considered?"

“There’s no need to be specific. I’ve thought of many other scenarios, and I agree with what you just said,” the Brown-Handed Man said. “In some situations, as long as I do what I want to do, I don’t need to regret it, no matter the outcome. ‘Not explaining’ and ‘explaining’ can both be seen as ‘small goals.’ Once those ‘small goals’ are achieved, the goal is achieved. You’re speaking from the perspective of our current conversation, so there’s no need to add any conditions. But I’ve broadened the scope of the situation to include other scenarios, so I need to add conditions. If we encounter situations where ‘not explaining’ or ‘explaining’ would have serious consequences, then I will weigh the pros and cons.”

The gray-handed man said, "Oh, so you thought of those things."

“Hmm,” the Brown-Handed Man said. “Not all explanations will be understood, and in some cases, there’s no need to worry too much about whether others can understand after you’ve tried your best to explain. If you don’t want to explain, then don’t. If you want to explain but others don’t understand, as long as you feel that you’ve done your best, there’s no need to force anything.”

“Hearing you say that, I feel the comfort that ‘casualness’ brings,” said the gray-handed man.

The brown-handed man said, "You've captured the feeling I was trying to describe."

"You were feeling that way just now?" the gray-handed man asked.

“Yes, that’s why I said, ‘I’m very happy to hear your answer,’” the Brown-Handed Man said. “I didn’t express myself very clearly just now. I did feel the comfort that ‘casualness’ brings, and what I meant by being happy to hear it is related to this comfort.” The Brown-Handed Man smiled and said, “Now, whether you want to explain what we were talking about earlier is up to you.”

Grayhand said, “I wanted to explain. Before, I said that whether you didn’t comment earlier was simply because I didn’t ask for your comment in the first place, or whether you had other ideas and decided to ‘think about it’ yourself, it’s actually the same as what you said about me ‘not caring’ in terms of my subsequent behavior. That’s what I meant by ‘almost’. Before I said that, I also said, ‘Since that’s the case, I don’t need to ask anything further.’ What I meant by ‘almost’ was that I ‘won’t ask any more questions.’ Whether I think about it myself, my subsequent behavior will be to not ask any more questions; whether I say ‘not caring’ or ‘think about it,’ it’s my own business, and the common manifestation is ‘not asking any more questions.’ From this perspective, it’s pretty much the same.”
