In this occasion we explore the fear we takers have to the leaver’s life style. Here we see where the true power of mother culture lies in. The reason why we can’t move one past this culture and why the 60’s were a failure was we didn’t know how to live any other way. We have an irrational fear for the wild and the dangers that it has to us. The reason for this fear to be irrational is that we evolved to live in harsh conditions. Being sedentary caused by agriculture has caused us to have health problems such as obesity these days.
The taker culture is so illogical because of this. We believe that this is the way that it was mean for us to be. Being rulers of the world and therefore reduce our activities to the minimum. (In terms of physical activity.) It is also hard to believe that if we were meant here to put balance we always look back and think that the old days where better.
When it comes to argue between Ishmael and our narrator it can be a lesson Ishmael is trying to teach too. “I know you don’t, and that’s what irks me. You’ve become a passive listener here, turning your brain off when you sit down and turning it on when you get up to leave.” (p.212) this can happen to us sometimes. In occasions we turn off our brains and become passive listeners. It´s what happens when a teacher tells you something but instead of thinking if you agree or disagree or why you just take the teachers side and go the easy way. The narrator wasn’t pondering whether what Ishmael was presenting was right according to what he believed. He just agreed without any sort of doubt or even comment on this. (This doesn’t mean that Ishmael’s arguments weren’t well presented and hard to revoke.) Of course the narrator and his mentor are nothing but puppets in a play to tech us a new way of seeing our civilization.
Finally Ishmael made it clear, the leaver’s way of life was much better that the Leavers had. The reason why the leavers were happy and weren’t worried or stressed during most of their life is because survival was their main worry. By survival I mean going out and grabbing something nice to eat in the great food producer that is the world. Now in order to survive you must go to school, then to university and you would have needed to do a very good job on those two to get a good job and survive. Here you can see the difference. We have to do more work, get more stressed and we have to be as close to the best as possible to get the job you want. The leaver’s life is simple and relaxing. Just eat and sleep. Finally going the leaver’s way is easier because we evolved to live in the wild and to find food. What we do right now is a great change in our way of thinking that our physical body hasn’t evolved to yet. Maybe someday living this way of life will make us happy but in between we might have already crashed and we might never have a chance to see what will become of the world. Why would we want to change our way of life if we’re happy as we used to be? If the leaver’s lifestyle was so good why did the first leavers become takers? Why if our mother culture wasn’t present did this begin?
