Leavers and Takers are concepts in "Ishmael", corresponding to Older culture and younger culture in "The last hours of ancient sunlight".
Takers have several major features:
1. A firm belief in inadequacy and shortage.
Not enough food, not enough space, not enough air, not enough money, I have to fight, I have to fight.
2. The world is cruel, the strong eat the weak, and the fittest survive.
3. I want to survive and therefore (have the right) to do whatever I want.
In order for me to live, all my actions are legal. If you don’t endure it, I’m sorry, you are too weak, you are not worthy of survival, give me space and resources.
The only conflict in this documentary is the conflict between Takers and Leavers.
"A half for me, a half for you." "There is enough for everyone." This is what Kadis often talks about. You survive I survive, you survive I can survive, I survive you can survive. Don't fight, don't grab, enough, enough, we are all good.
Cadiz treats her neighbors as the Paleo-Indians treat their American colonizers.
When the greed of the neighbors has seriously damaged the harmony of the land, Kadis wants to leave. This is the only thing she can do. Leavers who are in harmony with all things are not capable of violence. When they encounter violence, they can only flee. This is the only thing they can do.
You might be thinking, "Why not resist?" That's because, at the very first moment of resistance, they become their "enemy"—their opposite.
When the Takers left, Cadiz continued to operate in harmony with the land, and you see how much light and love she created. She is the real powerful person.
