Do you like this world?
Yes I am talking about the world we live in.
Hmm, its hard to answer it right?
But there once was a boy who had an absolute answer to the question. Are you up to hearing about what he had to say? Well I Guess you are . Otherwise you wouldn't be here reading through this.
The name of the boy you ask?
Oh, yes I remember it . He had a beautiful name. If I remember it correctly, his name was Bibek ferdinand. Don't blame me if I got that name wrong. This old age is finally hitting me hard.
Are you bored yet?? I guess you are. Stop with this useless things and get into the story already, is what you must be feeling now. So, let me get into it.
The background of the boy you ask?Its really not necessary.
This is about the day I met that boy. That day I was questioning people about whether they liked this world or not? Most of them didn't have an answer to the question. Some of them said they were satisfied with what they had. But the boy and his answer shocked me to my core. The way he viewed our world was out of this world.
He told me that if he had the power he would rather be out in the world trying to drag the civilization a few 100 years back. When I asked why? He smiled and just stood in silence for few seconds. When he finally opened his mouth to speak, I concentrated with every brain cells I had to what he was talking about.
He started talking and I just kept listening to him. "YOU ASK HOW I LIKE THE WORLD WE ARE IN?? ". That's a stupid question to ask, obviously I hate everything about this world. Why? you ask, I really don't understand the rules and laws that are present. Aren't they just chains to prevent people from flying? or else why are people prohibited from trying to experience something new? Even if it isn't prohibited why is some new experience weighed alongside money? What does the nature gain from the money you make of it? Aren't you just using the money and causing bad effects to the nature you earned it from??
If I were born a few 100 years back and had the power, I wouldn't have let the world be at such a worst condition. The world I envision is not a world driven by "mad science". You may ask don't need science to sustain? Yes I do believe science is need but not the mad science. The civilization I have envisioned if self sustained and dependent on the science from "vedas". I was surprised and Vedas slipped through my tongue. He replied yes Vedas. Why do we need people trying to change the science from Vedas into money farming tool? The way I see the present world and its science is as a useless pile of garbage and people around it trying to stack it up to the moon.
Are you satisfied with you being a part of this mad world of science. You also are here participating on stacking garbage to the moon. Have you every stopped piling and garbage . Have you every though about why you are also participating in this Pointless game of creating the tower of garbage.
Why do you need to reach the moon is the question I want to ask everyone? Does the earth we have not sufice you? If it doesn't , isn't it because you have driven the earth to its extreme and it has nothing left to offer you for your earning. This is the world I would have changed if the civilization and I were both a few 100 years back. I would love to the change the current world too, but the will has died . There is nothing that is left that I can use to encourage people to bring the change. I have been fed up with the idea of this world that has come to a standstill. Sometime in the morning I wake up wishing the world would go a few 100 years back. But to nobody's surprise the current world keeps on trying to get to the moon. The stack of garbage that have been piled up doesn't excite me. The people and there constant urge to have more and more money and nothing else to care about doesn't excite me.
I think you should be asking yourself the question" Do you like this world? "
- My answer is I absolutely hate this world.
only If I had the power....
I can't help but think about all these scenarios all the time.
And what about you? Do you have an answer the the question you yourself asked.
I couldn't utter a single world having heard all that. The boy bid farewell and only I was left there. Only me and the question ringing in my ears" Do you like this world?"
