So the real morale of the story is respect- Nature, the elderly, strangers, family, and for one's self. This is shown all throughout the movie. When あなた respect people, they will treat あなた well & will comfort あなた when you're down. Even if あなた don't want to like someone, あなた should still be kind. And finally, when あなた treat nature with respect, it will respect あなた back.
