Ishmael

My favorite quotes were

1)"Man is the end product of creation. Man is the creature for whom all the rest was made:this world,this solar system,this galaxy,the universe itself."-page 57
2)"Man was born to turn the world into a paradise, but tragically he was born flawed.And so his paradise has always been spoiled by stupidity,greed,destructiveness, and shortsightedness." -page 83

3)"The green plants are food for plant eaters,which are food for the predators, and some of these predators are food for still other predators. And what's left over is food for the scavengers, who return to the earth nutrients needed by the green plants."-page 117

I learned about world from Ishmael is that world was made for man, and man is here to conquer and rule the world. His rule was supposed to bring paradise as he increases his mastery to the world but he is failing because he is not being perfect.I learned about myself from reading Ishmael is that i need to take better care of the nature and the environment. Material presented in the course and Ishmael are giving us the same messages. We need to take care of our mother nature and if we all try then we can all save the world.
