Beginning of the world
At the beginning of Earth, all living things lived in their respective groups. Rabbits with rabbits, lions and lions, tigers with tigers, and so on and so on. No animal had the initiative to interact with someone from another group. They were accustomed to their own kind and never actually tried to reach out to someone of a different group. They all ate just what the Earth provided, and respected the property of the others.
The animals learned to live this way, but something about the perfect harmony sounded wrong. The big bear was the first one to point out the boring life they were living, excluding everyone that wasn’t their kind. It was unknown of to talk to other animals if they were not the same kind; but the bear was tired of it. In order to change its way of living, the bear decided to make a plan to get all the different types of animals to live together and cooperate with each other. He spent days and nights thinking about ways to successfully execute his plan, he knew it would make the world a better place, even when others disagreed. Finally, he came up with an idea.
He asked the gods to let the other animals know about a new place he had discovered, where he said he found many fresh resources for all. One of the gods listened to him and went along with his idea. The next morning, all living creatures followed the god’s instruction and went to this new place, meanwhile the bear was already there making the last adjustments to the plan. Eventually, all the animals were there and they looked to each other weirdly. The bear let a giant cage fall down from the sky and forced the animals to not only be together, but cooperate with each other to escape the bear’s plan. Month’s passed by, and the animals started to give up their individualistic mind and engaged with each other. This led to all the animals working together and successfully, but not intentionally complete the bear’s plan. The bear was proud of what he had accomplished. A new society based on companionship and diversity was created. The gods applauded him for what he did, even if it was against the original rules and a complete new way of living. At the time nobody knew if it was the best way for the living creatures to live, but they all knew it felt right.
