i already explained it it's about our relation with beings it's metaphysical/existential
the ending is directly about everything that happened.
It appears everything is at war and hostile to each other and you are alone in the universe.
The whole scene when the masses are turning against them
>“No; oddly enough I am not quite hopeless. There is one insane little hope that I cannot get out of my mind. The power of this whole planet is against us, yet I cannot help wondering whether this one silly little hope is hopeless yet.”
>“In what or whom is your hope?” asked Syme with curiosity.
>“In a man I never saw,” said the other, looking at the leaden sea.
>“I know what you mean,” said Syme in a low voice, “the man in the dark room. But Sunday must have killed him by now.”
>“Perhaps,” said the other steadily; “but if so, he was the only man whom Sunday found it hard to kill.”
it's essentially a series of apparent evils and they are in the worst situation possible
>“Everything’s gone. I’m gone! I can’t trust my own bodily machinery. I feel as if my own hand might fly up and strike me.”
and at the end
> If you were the man in the dark room, why were you also Sunday, an offense to the sunlight? If you were from the first our father and our friend, why were you also our greatest enemy? We wept, we fled in terror; the iron entered into our souls—and you are the peace of God! Oh, I can forgive God His anger, though it destroyed nations; but I cannot forgive Him His peace.
The sort of apparent enmity we see in everything actually just being our partial view into the great "dance" of everything. Everything at it's core is good and expressed as this creative activity of God, even this evil we encounter is just part of the dance we can't see
> Why does each thing on the earth war against each other thing? Why does each small thing in the world have to fight against the world itself? Why does a fly have to fight the whole universe?
>So that each man fighting for order may be as brave and good a man as the dynamiter.
and that that conflict even occurs at the root of being itself as I quoted here

The end with everything being an adorable triviality is seeing you are in that dance. You can't/won't understand everything but you have the "good news".
it's about how we relate to beings in their appearing as well as seeing through that to their core. ppl do not give chesterton his due.
