The sun which lies in the centre of the solar system gives light and energy to all living things on the earth. The plants wouldn't survive and the animals wouldn't get to eat and even the nocturnal animals would have difficulty seeing.
The bright and brilliant sun which sends its photons provides nature with its essence. Now people are using it for bitcoin mining in Norway as an investment. Something that would provide electricity to the machines that would solve the mathematical problems of the cryptocurrency and hence provide economic support to this country. These countries in your world were primarily Nordic countries.
The way we see philosophy and its importance. In some countries in your world, it is believed that the sun was devoured. It is truly difficult to imagine a world without the sun. The sun is important whether it is the parts where the blazing heat of the sun shine or it is cooler and less intense in other parts of the world.
The unchanging nature of the sun seemed to be the consistency people tended to believe in. The sun was after all omnipresent and full of energy. It contains so much energy that living things can grow and use the energy even though received miles away.
The sun was responsible for the crops that existed as well as the human beings who could exist because of those crops.
In the other dimension, the one you are from, people fight over natural resources which are plentiful considering that the supply increases as demand increases. But scarce in the sense that the population keeps growing until the distribution of the resources becomes a problem. Some get more, some get less and some get none.
In your world, it was predicted that the world population would reach 8 billion. Maybe it already has. Distribution of valuable resources even besides food, might have been a problem.
Food might be the least of concerns when a person has to travel and reach from one place to another. Oil and coal are none renewable resources of energy and are finite. Whereas electricity by hydropower and wind power can last for many years and is renewable. Therefore electricity in the future is even predicted to supply aeroplanes. The dependence on non-renewable sources would be reduced.
The main point made is that we all need energy for our bodies and our daily necessities. And if we don't obtain the energy we fall into difficult circumstances in which our quality of life is compromised.
The deeper the storm
So falls the captain
Deeper into the sea.
We see all of these storms that come into our lives. And wonder in silent contemplation whether it shall be our last ship ride across the ocean.
The waves of the sea, which are like radio waves or microwaves, are usually ignored. We imagine taking a child near the sea or river, while the idea of a tsunami or flood comes to mind. And then it takes us, like something inevitable, like something that can't change.
Life is full of risk. The unexpected things that govern the world. They say life is full of surprises, not knowing whether life is full of mysteries that will take us to mysterious and unknown destinations or not.
The festivals we celebrate remind us of the different times when we forget our worries and give certainty that we will have a constant reunion at least once a year with our loved ones.
Some festivals are for the rain and some are for possessions and wealth. There are different perspectives and reasons for the celebrations of major festivals. And many explain the inner nature of a human.
The needs and connection of a human to society. The connection of a person to his livelihood. The inner desires of a human.
The deep habits that last years.
And we indeed see the patterns. Whether a person follows a daily pattern of behaviour every day. Whether the person follows this pattern of habits every year. We can see and believe.
And it is found in different patterns but similar principles even in parts of your own dimension. We need not travel to different dimensions to see these patterns of behaviour and desires.
Whether it is food, the need may be salty, sour or sweet. Or it might be the taste we get from mushrooms.
As Demark looked into the house he used to live in, he couldn't believe his eyes, yet he knew that it was something inevitable given the choice that they had made during the war. He saw his house burning. He knew his family would resist the invasion.
His family was being burned with the house as a sort of demonstration or warning. Denmark tried to rush into his house but his fellow villagers wouldn't let him go.
"It's of no use." Said one of the villagers.
"I need to go." Said Demark. He tried pushing the villager off. Suddenly other villagers came to stop him. He happened to catch a glance at the other villagers' faces. The faces were full of concern.
Demark was on the point of tears now. His family was in no way perfect. But it was a very satisfied family. Now seeing the blazing fires and hearing the screams of his loved ones, the people he usually took for granted, gave him a kind of helplessness and sadness that only Demark thought only he could understand.
And yet he was here also feeling the concern of his fellow acquaintances. He didn't recognise the faces at first. But after staring for a long time, he realised that the person holding him was no other than the person he had seen years ago when he was travelling around the river area. In his quiet trips of solitude, he would see the man fishing or sometimes staring and watching the river. Demark imagined that the man, who now looked much older, had dwelled in deep penetrating thoughts while he stared at the moving river and heard its peaceful sound.
Something about the man reminded Demark the courage to live even though death might have been the easier alternative. He stopped resisting and when he did, the hands that were holding him tightly loosened. Demark thought he wouldn't cry.
But he felt heat on his cheeks and it wasn't due to the fire.
