Chapter 12 is a discoverment for the man, he now know what he is suppose to do what he is suppose to teach to the rest of the human race. As I read the book I didn’t understand why Ishmael gave him so much information that sometimes didn’t relate to save human kind and how they were suppose to encourage man kind to change. “All along I’ve been saying to myself, ‘Yes, this is all very interesting, but what good is it? This isn’t going to change anything!’… This is what we need. Not just stopping things. Not just less of things. People need something positive to work for. They need a vision of something that… I don’t know. Something that… I think what you’re groping for is that people need more than to be scolded, more than to be made to feel stupid and guilty. They need more than a vision of doom. They need a vision of the world and themselves that inspires them.” Pg 243-244 What I now see is that all the information that Ishmael gave the man was to correct man kinds mistakes and, to prepare him to evolve into something better.
Whatever is around when we have evolve will think of us as great creatures. “Just think. In a billion years, whatever is around them, who ever is around then say, ‘Man? Oh yes, man! What a wonderful creature he was! It was within his grasp to destroy the entire world and trample all our futures into the dust—but he saw the light before it was too late and pulled back. He pulled back and gave the rest of us our chance. He showed us all how it had to be done if the world was to go on being a garden forever. Man was the role model for us all!” pg 242 If we give a little encouragement to the Takers they will react fast and positive and this is what Ishmael had planed, for us to evolve and for future creatures to think positively about us and our actions.
