The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao finished talking to Glow and came to the dining room. The palace did not have a shortage of food and you can eat anything anytime. So he spent some time eating and recover. Laohu Bai had been greatly alerted this whole day.

Tomorrow they will be leaving for the kingdom of the dark. The day went by very quickly and Yang Dao spent his time walking around the city He liked the atmosphere here. The clean and fragrant roads well maintained traffic. However, the boy still found some things odd. Such as the laws of how to dress or how to act in public. This was something people discovered by instinct and not by books.

These things were taught by the elders and anyway every human had the right to wear the clothes they like, what was going on here with the imposing laws. So, Yang Dao decided to correct what was not fitting in the scene. To do this, he asked Glow to call for a meeting with all the ministers and to arrange the meeting in the public.

…

In the square, in front of the palace, a huge crowd was gathered. They were all looking at the square pedestal set up in the center. At this moment, on the pedestal sat Glow, Orion, Laohu Bai, and the fellow ministers.

Glow motioned and Orion stood up from his seat he said, “Calm down, please. The child of Chronicles arrives.” this was something the royalty insisted on doing. They did not want Yang Dao to appear on the pedestal in a mundane manner. However, their method was too high profile so Yang Dao said, “I will drop from the sky.”

They all agreed when they saw Yang Dao doing something he did not like for them. They cannot be too pushy to the Dao Child, can they? So now just as the old man was done speaking a figure slowly glided down from the sky.

Yang Dao had beautiful azure wings on his back. When he touched down the people all knelt in reverence. They have people who can fly but not with such beautiful wings. The boy sighed and with a wave of his hand all the people stood up from the ground. He said, “Thank you all for coming over today.”

The people all clapped their hands breaking into thunderous applause. Yang Dao waved his hands and said, “Please calm down.”

His words were like the words of heaven. The people followed them with no hesitation. They immediately stopped and the hall became quiet. Yang Dao almost cried at this scene. He took a deep breath and calmed himself. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

He took out a coin in his hand and said, “What I have in my hand is a coin. This coin represents this realm. Just like this coin the realm also has two sides. However, the difference between the coin and the realm is that while the coin is in harmony, the realm is in chaos” he paused. His words send tremors among the people.

They did not expect that a simple coin can show them an example of the realm they all live in. On the pedestal, Orion and the other imbalanced were surprised to hear this. Yang Dao spoke again, “A coin has two sides because it needs two sides. One head and one tail. Just like humans, if we all had no legs but one head, will we evolve?

Similarly, the realm has two sides, The light kingdom, and the dark kingdom. What you need to understand is that there is nothing different between the humans on the two sides. They all have two eyes, two ears, one nose, etc. What they have is a different mindset toward life.

But I do not understand how different thinking on the grounds of a war? Some people like to eat meat, while some like fruits. Some like to dance in public, while some like to be alone. Why is it so difficult to live together? In harmony and balance like the coin?”

Orion spoke up, “Lord, do you mean to say that we made a pact with the kingdom of Dark?”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “You misunderstood me, Minister Orion. What I mean is to make harmony inside yourself. If you are not in balance how can your world be in balance?”

The old man was stunned and nodded. However, his eyes were flashing. Yang Dao spoke again, “The imbalance inside us is formed by the loopholes we ourselves created. For example, the law of child upbringing.”

His words shook the people but the boy did not give them the time to absorb it. He continued, “The law states that every mother-to-be should give birth to their child in a special hospital, to ensure that the talents of their child will get them the opportunity they need to have a successful life. This law also stimulates fair conduct and treatment. Am I correct?”

The people subconsciously nodded. Yang Dao spoke, “How can a mother stay happy and calm with herself when she, after nurturing a baby with her blood and love for months inside her, have to give it up for a period of fifteen years? Coincidently they may get allotted a child that is their own by the system but is everyone so lucky?”

The people shook their heads sideways, they agreed that not everyone was so lucky. Glow on the stage was trembling slightly. Even Orion had his eyes wide open. He could not believe that Yang Dao was going to make a change in the law that has haunted him for ages.

Yang Dao said, “Why can the law not ensure equal treatment to the children and still give them the opportunity they need to have a successful carrier, while they live with their parents? Some may think that since you are a doctor your child should be a doctor too. But that is not how the world works. Not all the fingers in your own hand are the same, how can your children be the same.

Let them have the freedom to excel in the fields they have the talent to. This way you will have your child grow up in front of your eyes and be happy for them and with them.”

He paused and said, “Do you not think, this can solve a lot of problems?”
