And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness.
And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it."
The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine.".
The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me."
Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals.
And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left.
Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop."
But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

What is this communist bullshit?
Should we not all strive to be better and be ambitious. In the big picture, yes we should be unhappy since we haven't accomplished all this shit centuries ago. First it was the Ottomans, then the Inquisition, then the Communists, now it's fucking all of them. Can you leave people alone?
Being ambitious is about making the future brighter for your kids so they can be better than you and their kids like them and so on. This type of parasitic thinking where it's better to be happy now and stay content with everything is what makes us stagnate and eventually regresses all of our work.

Communists, liberals and environmentalists biggest faggy argument against capitalism is that the earth will wither away since we apparently only consume, but when they use that dumbass argument they forget the concept of supply and demand.
The biggest thing I got from this is SAVE THE EARTH from the evils capituhlists. But of course everyone's reaction is different.
So, can you explain to me what it should be about or what you have gathered it should be about? The largest thing beside communism I see is the argument for culling human ambition.
