Can we save the world?

ANDREA

According to Ishmael the only way to save the world is by having someone like the narrator, who has realized and released himself from the arms of mother culture, can help the rest of humanity by approaching them and slowly repeating the same process Ishmael made with him. To be more specific, Ishmael said that first Cain must stop murdering Abel. An expression that demonstrates that we should stop killing the Leavers because not only are they an endangered species, the are the Takers only hope to show them that they the destroyers, don't realize that there is no one right way to live. Then you must spit out the fruit from the forbidden tree which means you must stop believing you have authority and the right to know who lives and who dies. All the men have dominated the order of this world and have killed of a lot of species in order to make room for themselves and their needs. All it takes is one person to spread the word around and inspire them to want to change and leave mother culture behind in order for people to stop enacting the story that's destroying the world (248-249).
I think that we can't really do much to save the world but I believe it's possible to slow down the destruction in the world by keeping the environment and ourselves clean to preserve our resources that have a great impact on us and not spread diseases and prevent new ones to emerge. The most important thing that helps the story we're enacting reverse itself is by having people change their ideology on how to save the world. Once that's done we need to take action and make a movement worth fighting for. Goals to save the world also need to be reasonable since not all people will give in to easily and you can't do it all at once. It would be a long process but the result would be worthwhile and rewarding for everyone. However, not everyone has the same mentality and so that is why things won't work and the story will never be reversed. Education and respect is also key because at a young age people can be dominated and shaped to be a certain way and since they are the future rulers of this world they need to understand the importance this world is as well as all of its inhabitants. Of coarse, this would be done in a positive, caring and loving manner (not like Hitler and other dictators). Education is maybe even the most important thing to saving the world. Will that ever be accomplished?
