Quote: Leavers are those who live in the hands of the gods.


Question: What does it mean to live in the hands of the gods?


Comment:
Okay well this quote grabbed my attention because throughout the whole book they talk about the takers and leavers. The takers were the ones that were civilized and the leavers were the primative ones. Then going forward in the book we found out that the leavers are those who live in the hands of the gods. Most people are takers so that meant most people just moved on with their lives and left the past behind. Which in the book I understood that takers where the ones who new from good and evil which meant they were most likely like the gods because in the book when the gods talked they would say they new from good and evil and who shall live or die. Which there was also the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In my opinion to live in the hands of the gods means well in the book there was a part when I beleive when they were telling a story they said that if you were to plant your own food you would no longer live in the hands of god you would rule yourself but if you just stored your food the gods had control over you.
