We all come from different worlds, each with their own set of values. You have yours, Mash has hers, Tamamo and the others have theirs...
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
It may seem like there's only one world, but it's actually divided into many different sections. What humans call hell is just another one of them.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
Cheep. The thoughts, values, and ethics of each society are what shapes that society's afterlife.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
For example, hell in your country and hell in[sr]Mr. Fionn's country are very different things.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 0]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
Humans have wanted to cope with the inevitability of death ever since they came into being.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
The particular laws and customs may[sr]differ between tribes and cultures...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
...but the idea that when they die, bad people are punished, and good people find salvation...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
...has always been a constant in each[sr]and every country you could find, chirp.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
Of course, these were always things taught to keep society running smoother for the living, not to describe what hell was actually like.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
To encourage people to live good, clean lives by promising they would find happiness after death.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
It all stemmed from obvious morals[line 2]the kind that anyone could agree were right and proper.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 9]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
It isn't usually hell's business to meddle with human society, or to determine what was right and wrong...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace A 10]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
...but our hell is sensitive to trends, so we tend to incorporate a lot of human religious values.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
＠Beni-Enma
|
||
They say hell and Earth used to be connected, that you could conceivably walk between them. That sounds rather inefficient as a land of death to me, though.

Humans no longer feared hell, nor thought they even required one, and the idea of seeking salvation in hell was lost.

The sparrow was so surprised she forgot she was an oni now, and found herself huddling up in fright.

“Well now, that is something. I say, neighbor, would you be willing to let me have that sparrow for myself?”

It was an old man known for being an oddball who put a lot of time and effort into impractical endeavors.

As a result, the rest of the village[sr]usually kept their distance from him.

This latest endeavor suited his penchant for impracticality quite well.

“I'm not sure either. But hey, you can't see someone unhappy and not try to help, right?”

“Try not to get caught next time!”[sr]he said with a laugh.

Time passed, and one day, the sparrow learned[sr]that the old man had fallen on hard times.

With no money to pay his taxes, and no neighbors willing to help him, he was slowly starving to death.

The old man gratefully accepted the sparrow's invitation, and enjoyed his time there immensely.

So the old man humbly chose the small basket,[sr]and returned to his own world.
