I hope you're enjoying the discussion, cause I have nobody else in my ring of friends to talk this stuff about.
Spoiler stuff so I'll do it in white.
So, the whole point of paradise is that you cannot have paradise because you cannot have ultimate happiness w/o ultimate sorrow. So the monolog by Kiba in the beginning and the end is true "You can search to the ends of the earth and never find it". What's lame though, is you don't see them reincarnated or whatever that last scene is supposed to represent until after society has evolved far enough to have big cities and cars again. So basicly, it's just history repeating. Kiba begins running in the end, for the same reasons he was running in the beginning to find a paradise that doesn't exist.
