Utopia
When a child is born he does not know much about this world. He learns and grab everything from his surroundings. Everything as in all good and bad and surrounding as in everywhere he goes, everything he sees, hears or came across. Consciously or unconsciously he tries to grab them all. That is a normal way of living and learning, nothing wrong with it. But when I see around mature grown up humans walking around doing little things they could, I realize how bad an influence we are on children.
What are we teaching them? Is doing so is justified? We carried hatred all our lives and now want to transfer that to our children. Do they deserve this?
Let me tell you a story.
Some around 1,00,000 years ago there was a planet named Utopia. Limited population, lots of tress, fresh air and kindness was its speciality. There was no ruler, people were so intelligent and understanding that they never actually needed one. There was no concept of money and may be that was the reason no one die of hunger in Utopia. There was no ruler may be that's why the concept of power, concept of controlling others, corruption, greed and such things never emerged. As there was no money no can had any way of influencing others to commit crimes or all other wrong things. Everyone on that planet knew how to cook, to weave their clothes, build their houses, wash their dishes, in short they knew everything to sustain their life on their own. They never needed services from others. They all used to do the kind of work which is needed in actual terms.
One day one of the Utopian was having conversation with humans of earth. Human said we buy happiness with this money. Utopian asked - if this is the case then why your millionaires goes for counselling? Why many of your people die of hunger? Why there is corruption? Why there is no satisfaction? Why you always want to seek more and more? Happiness is about satisfaction. Happiness is about what you have, not what you could have? Utopian claimed that he has certain magical powers with him. He can produce anything in no time. Now humans you tell me what you want? Say anything and I will produce it right now, just right now. Humans start asking for job, money, car and all other silly things. Utopian give them all and ask what now? What you want now? After sometime they all can not answer the question. He asks again tell me come on what is that that you want and humans run out of answers.
Utopian ask them to think all night that what all they actually want and promised to return soon.
