Does people’s change over time leads to the changing world? Or does the world’s evolution contribute to evolving human beings? I also hold the question that what have happened before 2024 in Butler’ Parable of the Sower so that the highly civilized world transforms into a place where people confront misery and suffering. Both the scarcity of natural resources and the contorted (or the true original) humanity drive the world to the extremity—the disorder world, the dreadful devolution and the smothery suspicion between people. If it is the world that changes first, then what is the factor that causes the world to change? It must be the only conscious beings in the world—the human beings. In contrast, if it is the human beings change first, then why they transform the world they live and love into such a horrible condition? In the unremittingly changing world, which link has been distorted? 

In China we hold an ancient thought, which was originated from founder of Taoism, Lao Zi, that a thing turns into its opposite if it is pushed too far. Perhaps, the civilization which leads human beings to a more developed and harmonious society turns into something threatening and harmful? It happens in Parable of the Sower but had better do not in the real world.
