Part
Four
Well,
there ain’t no use cryin over spilt milk. I can think of a lot o’ things I
could’a done better. When I made man’s brain bigger, I didn’t take his
predatory nature into account. Him an’ the wolf used to walk around the world
namin’ all the animals. They was friends at the time. Next thing I know, man is
goin’ around killin’ all the wolves ‘cause he figures they’re pests. Go figure.
An’ then he gets in there an’ kills all the other critters. That was different
of course ‘cause they needed the food. But they didn’t know when to stop! They went
way overboard until it became nothin’ more’n sport. It wasn’t long before
everything was more or less hunted to extinction an’ people began to realize
that once it was done, hunters would no longer come an’ pay big money to hunt
no more ‘cause there wasn’t nothin’ left to hunt.
Well,
would you believe it, but it was Schwartz who put together a promotional
package to bring it tourists to come an’ just look at these unique and giant
animals instead o’ killin them. They got together to sit around a table like
the one I just smashed to smithereens an’ he pitched them the benefits of a
sustaining tourism business. It was a good idea at the time an’ they all bought
in. Of course, humans bein’ what they are were soon competin’ with one another
for the tourism dollars. They should’a kept up their family dinners, but they
got on their feet a bit an’ first thing ya know they was back at the ‘us an’
them’ business.
The
thing I wanna emphasise is that Schwartz, even though he was moonlightin’ from
his job at Satan’s place, set an example of how humanity should behave. So even
though he’s on the other side, he’s not all that different from us. An’ that’s
why we should welcome him to our table an’ treat him as part of our family. Remember
when you asked me to, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us”? That was no joke. That’s exactly what we gotta do an’
I’ll do it too. I strongly suggest you adopt that same philosophy. I know he’ll
be suspicious to start but if we demonstrate to him that we are sincerely
serious, he’ll come around to the idea that we are all the same. It’s the only
way to eliminate the “Us and Them” an’ replace it with we, the family.
