兔不鳴

Although the world is filled with those who remain silent in the face of injustice, their behavior becomes entirely understandable once you view them as rabbits. No matter what threat a rabbit faces, it cannot make a sound. It does not even cry out for the sake of communication. It is hardwired with DNA designed to stay silent, hide itself, and suppress even a groan of pain; thus, except in the most extreme circumstances, it is incapable of making a noise.

Those who resemble rabbits are exactly the same. No matter how much injustice saturates the world, they are absolutely incapable of raising their voices. Because their own survival is always their topmost priority, they merely remain silent, just like rabbits. They simply watch what others do, hide, and keep quiet.

This is not to say that they are entirely useless to society. For the sake of survival, they remain loyal to the tasks handed to them. They are no different from slaves. Slaves who do not fight back. They are structurally identical to slaves whose violent instincts have been utterly castrated. How incredibly useful they must be to exploit. No matter how corrupt a task you assign them, they cannot make a single sound and will simply do exactly as they are told.

In the food chain, herbivores occupy the lower tiers, yet they are vast in number. The human society operates in precisely the same manner. Failing to deliver any meaningful message, those who call themselves intellectuals collude with authority, and they refuse to help even when a person is dying right beside them. They live solely for their own survival, achieve nothing but their own survival, and then perish. The only legacy they leave behind is a mere handful of grass passed down to their offspring rabbits.

Obese rabbits have dressed themselves up in fine suits. Yet, to the beasts of prey, even the fattest rabbit is nothing more than just another rabbit. Those who have pulled out all their own teeth just to make a living, and have forgotten how to use their vocal organs, do not know how to fight back even as their own flesh is being torn away. With nothing but identical rabbits surrounding them, how could they possibly have a way to fight the beasts? When one of them becomes prey to a beast, the surrounding rabbits remain silent, just as they always have, whispering to themselves, "As long as it's not me," and "As long as I'm safe, it's fine."

In the eyes of a predator, they all look exactly the same. The fatter one simply looks more delicious. A human who has lost the ability to fight stands absolutely no chance of victory when the moment arrives that they must inevitably fight. That is the predetermined final hour for those who choose to live as rabbits.
