Failure as Big Brothers

Many times I’ve seen digitally engineered sneak-peeks of soon-to-be urban communities. I see the images full of construction, roads, and bridges. Then, I look at the space of condemned land beside the picture. This action gives me a feeling of depression, of sorrow and grief for the land we’re expanding to, because the virgin land is beautiful and majestic on its own. The only way to prevent this is to renounce our acquired instinct, to expand and conquer.
Not only has mankind surrendered the process of evolution by taking their lives into their own hands, but has also lost the potential of man, which is to be the “big brother” in the area of being a role model to other species, for man is the first organism to be introduced to the challenge of choosing between the tree for gods and the tree for living things. If man kind would have succeeded, it would have showed other species how it’s done and scoot over to let them do it for themselves. On Page 243, the pupil deduces the following conclusion: “In other words, the world doesn’t need to belong to man---- but it does need man to belong to it.” This is so as to demonstrate how it’s supposed to be done. Since we are the first, we are going to be responsible for dragging down not only our culture, but also the other species’ potential, as well as the Leavers’ perfected method for living. It will al go to ruin.
