Chapter 23 The Lion King

In the howling snow-capped mountains, countless pale green eyes flickered into existence beneath the cover of the heavy snow.

Unlike the shadows of anger, which would attack in the form of beasts as soon as they appeared,

the shadows of contemplation behaved with a different logic.

That is, one must not ponder what they are—

If you think they are a pack of wolves, then they truly become wolves; if you think they are a band of thieves, they do become thieves.

It is the human fear of "contemplation"... namely, "the difficulties one conjures in their mind."

The more uncertain humans are about what crises they may face, the more they exaggerate their difficulties, and the harder it becomes to act. In the end, they may be defeated by the predicaments of their own imagination before even taking action; head hung low, their spirit and vigor lost, they might suffer a nihilistic mental blow without having done anything.
