Why is that story important. Well like the fish the human time traveler felt that the universe's end all goal was to create man.
Was the universe made for man?
(I'll leave that for you to answer)
We're told every day that the world belongs to us. That we are the center of the universe. Every day your told that this is your city ,your state, your country, your continent , your planet, your solar system , your galaxy. No one ever questions this...why should we. Its look a what if scenario.
What if you were corrected every time you said "this is my land"? What if saying that this planet is your was just as bad as cursing in front of a nun? How would the world change. Would we have more respect for our animal community?
Now what if the opposite was true. What if every day you were told that this world was your? Wouldn't you treat it as such?
