Kcanthers Begins - Chapter 3 - Emergence - Part 4

Evolving Understanding Initially, the Kcanthers are not endowed with feelings such as trust or mistrust; their nature is primarily oriented toward support and collaboration. Guided by an instinct for cooperation, the Kcanthers base each of their interactions on a common goal, fostering harmony in their relationships. However, over time, through their exchanges with the human world, they encounter a far more complex reality. Faced with individuals seeking to exploit their generosity for personal gain, the Kcanthers begin to understand the importance of vigilance. They realize that while kindness is noble, it must be accompanied by caution. Thus, they start to cultivate more nuanced emotions, such as measured trust and thoughtful mistrust.
