In Existence, teachers were rare.
Not instructors who recited facts or demonstrated techniques. Not mentors who shared their experience or guided development.
But true teachers who fundamentally changed how their students perceived reality itself.
Across the countless eons of Observable Existence, entities had risen to power through struggle, through theft, through inheritance, through luck.
Very few had risen through genuine teaching.
The pessimistic truth was that most who claimed the title of teacher were frauds.
They hoarded knowledge to maintain advantage over students.
They shared just enough to seem generous while keeping the best insights for themselves.
They created dependency rather than independence, ensuring students always needed to return.
This was the Way of Existence.
Knowledge was power, and power was not freely given.
Even among THE Living Existences who'd formed the grand Civilizations, how many truly taught?
