Modern Utopia

Cathartic Introduction

I’ve lived a life of many lives that one can not impart to anybody; and through this time, from the way people have changed me, I can not say that I am the same man or I will always follow the same code that I followed yesterday. It begins with Earth and her history, and it ends with people and their values. Sometimes people don’t want to change and they ignore the ugly truth. Other times, people are naive and they lose their sanity worshiping false idols. In the meantime, I want to propose a notion of true faith and put hope back into satisfaction for what is worth and portray a beautiful fantasy that revolves around the world that could be in due time.

Equality

My fantasy aims to balance the scales of equality and put order back into the world after what kings and queens have done to it. I believe that the world’s currency is backed by cheap slave labor, and there has always been a system of currency in place since the dawn of Homo Sapiens. I believe that money causes every type of resource shortage known to man, and these commodities should be regulated accordingly through procedure. I believe that there is also a such thing as a need and want, and there is always a need for want. So, in a modern society, necessities should be automatically provided to ensure the health of the economy. I believe that it will eliminate debt forever because of how most America’s basic needs are transported intra and interstate. I believe that non-essential services should be paid for by service credits to ensure that people satisfy their need for want. In the real world, every little idea and detail helps. So, people would need to come forward and volunteer off of their own kindness to ensure the survival of mass production. I believe overtime technology will be strengthened and more things will be manufactured through automated machines. So, my fantasy is hindered by the time it takes to make technology. However, people must be willing to declare their independence from one another first.

Independence

Independence is freedom from outside control or support : the state of being independent. So, I believe people need diversity or else people will always support something or somebody because of what others like and not truly because of what they like. In that relation, diversity throughout the world should be maintained in order to keep peaceful relationships between different cliques of people. My assumption is that people tend to assimilate into these cliques through continuums, and trends in media are what establish the continuum patterns between a person’s likes and interests. All of this relates back to “Attribution Theory” made by Bernard Weiner, Fritz Heider and Harold Kelly where they use consensus and distinctive to describe a person’s actions. In continuum, a person’s most distinctive actions would be the extremes, and the adjacent values are consensus. So, my fantasy aims to help every one find the continuum that fits the trends that they’re on through independence. You’d never know how many people were going through the same problems to need someone to be there. It just goes to show you how the world has changed and how it’s not as simple as it seems. It perpetuates the question: can liberty compensate for all the rest of negative space left behind?

Liberty

The biblical aspects of liberty have been derelict and misguided for centuries. The Bible portrays the scene of slaves being tortured and oppressed under malevolent rulers. It never clearly condemns the use of slaves, and it certainly doesn’t allow people to have free will. The Bible gives us hope that there may be life after death, but there may be no home better than Earth through your own memories. I believe that humans would be enlightened overnight if they were to take some of modern technology and mix it with old theology. People want something to believe in, and people want to know where they come from. I know that will satisfy a lot of the true believers and non-believers who have their faiths challenged on a daily basis. Once a new bible is written, it will lead all religious people out of captivity. I believe the Bible was written to enslave the people who read it and label them from birth. So, when we talk about free will as I did earlier, common sense plays a huge role in averting a person from making bad mistakes. A persons values also shape their likes and interests. This is when a person feels most at their free will. That is because people still have a choice from siding with the consensus or distinctive population; and anytime a principled moral argument is incorporated, a person’s values can change with trends. When referring to trends, I believe that religion is a huge portion of the consensus population. So, on a biblical proportion, I believe that mutual respect, unconditional love, and philanthropy themes etc should be promoted throughout the 21st century bible to ensure that my fellow humans are on the path to enlightenment.

7 Deadly Vices

Finally, in my fantasy, I’m opting for people to refrain from the 7 deadly vices and to take up some of the heavenly virtues as everyday values. By definition, greed is intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food, and lust is a very strong sexual desire. Gluttony, itself, is habitual greed or excess in eating, and wrath is strong vengeful anger or indignation. Pride is a feeling that you are more important or better than other people, and sloth is reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness. Lastly, envy is a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. As you can see, refraining from these vices alone can ensure my fantasies survival, but it’s only up to the people to truly want to stop doing the things that they do to make my fantasy harder to achieve. Indeed, I believe the solution lies hidden deep within a person’s conscience reasoning skills to reason their way out of any situation.
