Lingshan Hermit: Will This World Become Better?
In September 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency accused the German Volkswagen Group of installing special software in the vehicles they manufactured in order to circumvent federal vehicle emissions regulations. Simply put, Volkswagen falsified vehicle emissions data - the actual pollutant emissions from the vehicles they produced were 40 times higher than the federal emissions standards. According to news reports, as many as 11 million vehicles were involved. Volkswagen will face enormous lawsuits and fines for this. Not long after the Volkswagen emissions scandal, Volkswagen's subsidiary Audi also issued a statement admitting that they had done similar things.
You may feel this has nothing to do with you, but this concerns everyone because we all need to breathe air. You need it, your children need it, even your cats need it. What Volkswagen did undoubtedly harms the health of every living being on this planet. Similarly, Japan's Environment Minister Shinjiro Koizumi recently stated that they will dump radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean because they have "no choice." I don't know how many companies like Volkswagen or governments like Japan's are secretly doing things that harm us, but based on my understanding of human nature, there must be many such cases—in America, in Europe, in Asia. What has been exposed is just the tip of the iceberg, with greater sins being concealed and unknown to us. In the past 200 years, rapid technological advances have seemingly made our lives more convenient than in the past, but at the same time, we have also paid a high price—animals and plants are going extinct every minute. When I was little, I could often see all kinds of insects on the window screens, but now most are gone. Some scientists predict that in 200-300 years, the largest land mammal will be cows. Those hippos, rhinos and other large mammals will be long extinct. Compared to 100 years ago, our transportation is much more convenient now, but at the same time, we have to endure breathing air polluted by vehicle emissions. With the support of modern technology, we have become very lazy—we can no longer go back to the days without cars. Perhaps we are acquiescing to these big companies earning our money while secretly damaging our health.
Whenever I see things like this (the Volkswagen scandal), it makes me lose faith in humanity. If we analyze why these big companies do such things, you can trace it back to their values. Perhaps in the beginning, they were people with the right values, people of integrity, but in the face of enormous profits and pressure, how long can their beliefs withstand? Cracks will soon appear, and it may not take long for their entire value system to start collapsing. When they start doing evil, they will give themselves ample justification—they may feel guilty at first, but gradually they will convince themselves, saying "Other companies are doing even worse things. Compared to ISIS who beheads people, we're just emitting some gases." They will make themselves believe they have done no evil. Slowly they will no longer feel they are doing evil, and eventually they may even feel that the people obstructing their evil-doing are the ones doing evil instead. In the past, they may have felt such actions were not good according to their moral system, but now they don't believe doing so will harm them personally—other than causing some slight unease. On the contrary, they believe it benefits them—it allows them to earn more money. Although statistics tell us 80% of the world's population has religious beliefs, the truth is the world has reached a point where most people only believe in this life—not the afterlife. Most people don't truly believe in their own faiths, even if they may seem devout, praying morning and night every day. For the sake of profit, they can betray anything. Without huge profits and pressure, many Western companies are still willing to pretend to have morals and principles, but under enormous business interests, they cast all that aside.
"Humankind is still progressing (though haltingly), and such progress is often driven by a minority. Without the calls and protests of animal rights groups and everyone's efforts, I believe the royal family living in Buckingham Palace may still not realize to this day what grave mistakes they made and how many lives they owe—just to maintain a fancy, majestic display, they killed a large number of black bears. Fortunately, they have come to realize this and are prepared to make corrections. Making mistakes is not frightening; what's frightening is making mistakes and refusing to change. Those who persist in their mistakes are the most hopeless people in the world." - Excerpt from Lingshan Hermit's 'Will This World Become Better?'
I wrote the above 10 years ago. Many things have happened in the world over the past decade: Donald Trump became president of the United States, the United Kingdom decided to leave the European Union, ISIS rose and fell, smartphones have become ubiquitous, and people no longer read newspapers. I'm 38 now too. Over the past 10 years I've seen and experienced many things, a lot of which made me lose faith in humanity. 10 years ago I confidently declared I would do many things, and over the past decade I have indeed kept doing them. I will continue to do so in the future. Over the past 10 years I've experienced much success as well as setbacks. These 10 years have taught me many things, one very important fact being: No one can be changed unless they want to change themselves. It is absolutely impossible to change even the tiniest habit of another person. No one will admit they are wrong either, no matter how ridiculous their mistakes—they will not believe they are wrong. Humans are the best at finding excuses for themselves. Everyone loves themselves to the point of madness. They love their own perspectives with the same fierceness a mother tiger protects her cubs. Mark Twain said: "Convincing someone they've been duped is harder than duping them." The most unshakable thing in this world is a person's established perspectives—even harder to shake than the Earth itself. Compared to getting someone to abandon their perspectives, I believe it would be easier to cement together the 300 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy with concrete.
To change the world, we must change most people's values. According to 2019 statistics, there are now 7.7 billion people on this planet—a massive number. Let alone 7.7 billion, even changing one person is extremely difficult. If you truly want to practice Buddhist teachings, you have to overturn almost your entire worldview—Buddhist principles are a completely different world from what you learn in textbooks. From my years of experience, most people don't actually change their original perspectives. They just pretend to possess Buddhist values—even they themselves may not realize this. To change a person's ideas is tantamount to upending their entire world—they have to negate almost everything they were born with and grew up believing—negate their parents, teachers, the things they believed since childhood, negate the entire value system they built over 20-30 years. Not everyone has the courage to completely overturn everything and start over. In fact, only an extremely small number of people have such courage. To change the world requires rebuilding most people's values, which must start from rebuilding the values of a minority. Then that minority influences more minorities, until the minorities become a majority—an extremely lengthy process. From the Volkswagen emissions scandal, we see that the people making such decisions do not care if others' interests are infringed upon. They only care about immediate benefits. The Volkswagen board members are all such people. To avoid such things happening, most people's mindsets must change—to the point where most Volkswagen board members would not think this way, or even if some did, they would be the minority. This is very difficult. It is not an achievable short-term goal.
Will this world become better? Perhaps, who knows. But we must still continue doing the right things.

So. Crossing the Line 1 year anniversary huh. Yeah it is,,,insane that this AU is a year old??? The AU that literally got me into Hermitcraft,,, it’d been a year. Man. Bless @twigs-sprigs and @shadesofvioletvoid for ever making this thing, and being nice enough to drag me into it. I’ve been working on these PFPs for most of October, because I really wanted to celebrate this AU. It’s still one of my favorites, it means a lot to me, and it makes me emotional still :>
CTL my beloved. Love this AU sm, and you have my permission to use these PFPs so long as ya credit me. It’s been a fun year of being an HC fan.
(Reblogs with tags and comments are appreciated and encouraged. Thank youuuu)

He started a resistance to
Show that he meant business
He rounded up some commoners
To bring about mischief
The mayor didn’t like that much
And formed a brand new group
Meant to suppress the resistance
And hopefully regroup
Neither side was in the right but
They also were not wrong
Because the matter was complex
The war was not very long
The leaders made amends with other
And they all lived happily ever after

Saw someone’s reply to Scar’s comment in an animatic that said ‘Die HEP’ and as a resistance supporter AND a Grian fan, we don’t claim you or anyone else who do this. 
And to anyone who does this sort of stuff, you’re the ones that needs to see this most:
Be respectful jesus christ, it’s not that hard.

Do you have any CTL AU headcanons?
Well I mean we made CTL so all the headcanons are canon, but I can give some of my favorite little details about the AU! Feel free to theorize on some of these.
All the resistance members have purple on their outfits, even if it's the smallest inkling of it. Before they has to retreat underground, it was the easiest way to know who they could trust and who they couldn't.
Moopop actually has a major role in the plot of the AU, but it's not really known for a while what it is. There's a reason Scar is so insistent on getting the unaffiliated Hermits to drink it, even going aa far as sending some of the HEP members to deliver it.
Tango was actually going to join the resistance, but due to an unplanned incident, ended up joining HEP(this is a reference to that one stream where Tango joined the resistance but later we see him working for HEP.)
All of the HEP members have blue eyes. Yes that's important.
Impulse and Stress are lowkey the parents of the resistance, despite Grian's title as "Mother Spore".
Over time, Stress's flower crown is replaced with a crown of mushrooms.
Even some of the non-affiliated Hermits have a role in this AU. Most notably is Zed. What his role is? I won't say. But it adds to the amount of Team ZIT subplot angst I have in this AU.
Impulse and Ren are basically the second and third in command after Grian. They've worked in a trio with him before and are the most readily available resistance members to take over if need be.
Grian, Impulse, Etho, and Stress are the only resistance members who can actually fly without elytra, as they either have wings or can shift to have them.
Grian isn't a shapeshifter in this AU. He's full on Avian.
That's all I'm gonna give out for now. Feel free to theorize on what some of this stuff could mean :D -Mod Slime

Some CTL angst! When Grian and Impulse accidentally interrupt the HEP meeting, they actually get hurt in the process. Grian gets shot and Impulse gets cut up. Impulse had to save Grian so he wouldn't get any more hurt.
Au by me, @shadesofvioletvoid and @sm0nks
