Akio couldn't help but sympathize with Hotarubi's frustration. He was just as confused about how meditating could help him years ago, but maybe Hotarubi didn’t need inner peace; he wasn’t a sage after all, maybe he just needed to be less wound up all the time. With a bit of a smile, Akio laughed and responded, "Yeah, it’s confusing as hell, right?" He took a casual stance, scratching his head, "Look, I get it. It's all a bit 'out there.' This might seem a bit rude, but maybe inner peace is a bit of a lofty goal for you right now. Maybe you should start by trying to calm your energies a little bit. You’re wound up so tight over something so small."Akio adopted a more earnest tone, "You don’t need to be some enlightened super sage; you just need to calm your tits a little. Maybe you need to start at a bit more of an obvious place; there are a lot of examples that could be used: chakra, catching animals, fighting. Maybe you aren’t ready for any of those types of analogies, and you just need to calm down and reevaluate whether still meditation is even the right first step, you know?"As he spoke, Akio's mind raced with thoughts. He understood the challenge of finding inner peace, having grappled with it himself. Meditation, especially for someone like Hotarubi, might feel like trying to rein in a stampede, a feeling that Akio was all too familiar with. However, Akio knew that sometimes it was better to start with the basics. His own journey into meditation wasn't an instant success; it required patience and a gradual approach. He remembered the frustration of trying to follow complicated advice and decided to share some of his experiences, "Just focus on your breath while you're exercising or doing other things. You don’t really need to sit still and do all that present, but not present crap. If you can reign yourself in a little bit, maybe that’d be good enough to start, and you can worry about the other stuff later."Akio stuffed his hands casually back into the pockets of his hoodie before finishing, "Once you've got the hang of that and maybe when you’ve exhausted yourself a little bit, you can try the advanced stuff if you want to become some guru or something." Akio chuckled a little at the thought, this guy was at a worse place than him when he started on the path to sagehood. Akio had a lot of energy too but it was a freer energy and much less explosive. He wondered if it was even possible to reign in such an ill tempered energy. He hoped his words would at least help a little bit and find some purchase, offer a slightly simpler starting point to what seemed like a daunting task. Akira
