Machines are coming. Machines are taking over. But I'm still optimistic. I'm still confident of the immense potential that each one of us have. We the humans have created everything that we are going through at this point in time. Nature is just the backdrop, like a side role in a Bollywood flick.
True, every raw material comes from nature. But transforming the raw materials into something so different and powerful that one wonders if there is any resemblance between the raw material and the finished product, is the skill of human kind. It's the ultimate culmination of art, science, imagination, observation, perseverance, grit, vision and desire that has transformed our world into what it is today. We have come a long way, from the dark caves to the limelight of the socialite parties, from the era of helplessness to the era of attempting to be God.
Wait a minute! Are we trying to be God? Are we trying to create us? Yes but then again may be that is what God wants us to do with our lives - create another us so he can be saved the trouble. He can see things and create through us - like a huge microscope that shows you things you thought never existed.
But, where are we heading? The kind of power we have today, we can eradicate hunger from this Earth forever. We can create permanent hallucination for everyone so there is no pain no loss no negativity. We all can live in an illiutionary world where everything is real. By the way, what is reality, if not ilusion sensed through our five senses?
But we are misusing our powers. We are not creating a better world than before but we are creating a world where there is more pain and more suffering.
When I see the amount of fighting and the unrest I see around, I sometimes feel I think it's time for humanity to pass on it's power to the machines. May be then we can stop fighting for power when there is no power to be fought over. May be we will stop fighting for land when there is no land left for mankind to fight over.
May be then we will unite again. All regions and regions, to fight a common monster, a devil who threatens to terminate us all.
I think it may help humanity live a little longer. May be a few more millennia till we again find ways to self destruct ourselves.
Let's be human again. Let's work with our hands and legs on the fields. Let's eat organic. Let's live more and worry less. let's live today rather than dying for a tomorrow we are not sure about.
Let's be born human again.
