Quote: "I'm saying that the prive you've paid is not the price of becoming human. It's not even the price of having the things you just mentioned. It's the price of enacting a story that casts mankind as the enemy of the world." (Ishmael 75)
Question: If the world was set in place for man, then why are we it's enemy?
Comment:
According to our "creation myth" the world was brought together all for man, humans. Starting with small single celled organisms and moving up to man, or at least that's what some believe. If this is so then why is it the none of our "toys" such as cars, factories, and constant oil drilling, are doing anything to help the world? Our cars and factories are constantly poluting the Earth, and as we drill for oil we're striping the world of its natural resources. I mean if it was really made for us shouldn't we be doing a better job of projecting it? Problems like over population and consumerism rain on us like gaint rain clouds. It almost makes me wonder what other enemies the human race has, I mean are we the enemy in the animals kingdom as well?
