w-6day4

Before the history of mankind could be written there lived a tribe of ape-men. These hunters who lived at the Three Forks belonged to the tribe of Uzunga. They lived rather in luxury while homo erectus, our ancestors were struggling to find their feet. Uzungaites specialized in one particular species. They hunted down Kau-kau, a species of birds for their plumage. Our ancestors felt envy at the way they lived. But the chief did not let them copy their ways saying, ‘First learn to stand on your feet. Later we shall have all the luxuries we have a yen for.’.
Years later uzunga tribe was stricken with a strange disease and they sought a medicine man who lived long way off. He told them to drink the blood of a kau-kau bird for a certain period of time. How disappointed the ape-hunters were! They had decimated the entire Kau-kau bird for their feathers! As a consequence the entire tribe of ape-hunters died out. All because no Kau-kau could be found.
Meanwhile our primordial ancestors had left trees for the savannah. They were ready for greater things.
Tailpiece: Exploitation of Kau-Kau by Uzungaites came at a high price. Nation-building is positive as long as each component looks closely to the way energy is spent ( and collected). Hitler’s `Aryan supremacy’ hinged on ‘ the final solution’ . Instead of liquidating Jews he had his Third Reich liquidated. Or take lessons from what happened in the ‘ 90s in the Balkans. Hatred is negative energy.
To sum: How species with totally contrary aims achieve order is due to the material nature of each player. Each contributes something towards Oneness whether one likes it or not. Energy is that hidden component. Who shall collect it is something no one can predict for certain.
