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.'"

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.

Yeah, and I placed a comment looking for discussion. Why did you post this if you're just gonna respond to everyone with one or two sentences.
This story is dumb and discredits the work of humanity and the development the species made. Strive to be better, don't be content.
