Abstract

The theme of this final chapter (no greater love) is the simple concept that, if the human species really cherishes this beautiful world, it will gladly give anything to save it. Instead, this species puts itself first, and holds that the “commercial prosperity” of just one vain and merciless species is more important than the biological survival of every other species. But imagine a people who sacrificed their kind to save life itself from perishing. Isn't that a purpose worth setting aside global differences? Imagine perhaps the idea of no greater love is about to find a place in an imprescriptible history that illiterate kinds will benefit from forever. This species, more than any other species, may join together as one humble and reverent kind and make every effort toward saving this beautiful planet from its longitudinal yet incidental myopia.

超越初恋
这最后一章的主题(没有更伟大的爱)是一个简单的概念,如果人类真的珍惜这个美丽的世界,它会很乐意付出任何代价来拯救它。相反,这个物种把自己放在第一位,认为一个虚荣无情的物种的“商业繁荣”比其他所有物种的生物生存更重要。但想象一下,一个民族为了拯救生命而牺牲了自己的同类。这难道不是一个值得搁置全球差异的目标吗?想象一下,也许没有比这更伟大的爱的想法即将在不可预知的历史中找到一席之地,而文盲将永远从中受益。这个物种,比任何其他物种,更可能团结在一起,作为一个谦卑和虔诚的种族,尽一切努力拯救这个美丽的星球,从它的纵向但偶然的短视。
