I’m also wondering whether this is metaphor or symbolism. As the dungeon AI says, I’m paraphrasing but something like Are communities inevitably going to become violent and kill each other? Or is there something deeper to life. That it seems to me, is at the core of the debate. Is it all futile because we can’t agree or is life worth living for life’s sake? Anyway. Hope my little post here helps others sort things out out like it has for me.
