This prompt topic by hive learners reminded me of one anime I watched titled Naruto. It's a really interesting anime where some manipulated another to manipulate people. The chain of manipulation went down. Funny enough, the person that was thought to be the original manipulator, Madara Uchiha, was actually being manipulated by another person, Zetsu.
In this anime, a villain was fighting for a better life for all humans. A life where there will be no illness, fear, hunger, accidents, wars, e.t.c. just you and what you ever wished for. However, there's a catch. It happens in a dream that feels very much like reality and the dreamers life force is the fuel to power the dream.
We live in an imperfect world where everyday brings forth an issue to solve. Progressing can be a big of a deal as both life and other people may try to stop an individuals progress. Life is like one huge wave that is really difficult to sail through. It threatens to capsize the bravest and the strongest if they lose even the slightest grip.
In the world we live in today, sicknesses are the order of the day. People are suffering from chronic incurable diseases that makes them gradually suffer till they are no more. Some of these diseases can be avoided while some can not be avoided.
Every now and then, we cry of disease and infirmity claiming the lives of our loved ones. Instead of the government to do something to help reduce the rate of which people fall sick, they embezzle the funds and leave the masses to their fate. The government claim to build equipped hospitals and maternities, but when their wives want to deliver, or when they fall sick, they look for an available private jet to fly themselves of their family members out of the country for medical treatment. Why do this if we have equipped facilities here?
Politicians don't really care for their people. They speak empty promises. Pretend to be good just to be elected and when they are finally elected, they go on to do different things that will make the people that elected them to regret why they put the politician in power.
We grew up being taught to be very careful in life. Careful not so only to save ourselves from mechanical injuries, but to save ourselves from our fellow human. Everyday, our nerves are at alert. One wrong move will make someone see you like an opponent and they will do anything possible to bring about your downfall. Life is cruel. Life is bad. But I think the change starts from you and I.
The idea of a crime-free world is really nice. I'll love to be in a world where crime don't exist, neither do suffering, outcry, war, jealousy, greed, manipulation, anger, e.t.c. however, the more I think of this, the more I laugh at my thoughts. I would say that we can only get these when we get to heaven.
I was taught in a book that the world became as bad as it is because of the crimes of two first humans. I don't think it's meant to be as bad as it is, but since negativities resides in the hearts of men, then, the world will keep being as it is.
Let's be logical. There is absolutely no way we can change the people in this world to be as good as this. Thinking about this is like living in an infinite tsukuyomei (as I explained in the introduction of this post). We can not actualize this. However, if there is a logical way to make this possible, I would love to be in the process of actualizing it.
Thank you for reading.
