This is year - 2090.
We have around 2.5
billion people living on this planet. This could happen because our ancestors
reduced the rate of increase in population. This all started in 2018 when our
ancestors realized that they were close to kill all the species of the planet,
including themselves, because of harnessing too much resources to meet their
needs and greed. There was even a universal body called "United Nations",
to guide and help people to make their world better. But that body's vision was limited to only humans. They had defined "Sustainability Goals" for
humans and for them, priority of life on earth and that of on land came at number
14th and 15th respectively. Such surprising were the leading governing bodies
of our planet at that time!
Then something interesting
happened. From somewhere in eastern world, people started realizing that if they
knew the root-cause, and if nobody else was ready to work on it, they should. There
was a guy who started spreading the message around. His logic was simple. In
2018, there were approximately 2.4 billion adult women in the world out of
total population of almost 8 billion. He suggested that if those 2.4 billion
women resolved to limit the child-birth to one, then the next generation will
have lesser population than their predecessors. And similarly, if their next
generation followed the suit, they can bring down the number further. He
started this initiative by committing to have only 1 child himself, of course
with his wife's consent. He continued to patiently live with this purpose of
his and kept spreading message. He faced the challenges from family, societies,
castes, religions, and nations. But he knew he needed to save people, and this
planet. He wanted to prevent the grave danger of killing all the species because
of their own actions. At that time, very few people knew that 50% of the oxygen
of the air was produced from the oceans. And because of global warming, corals
were dying. Also, our ancestors had found out that there was millions of tons
of methane gas reserved in the glaciers. That methane gas was about to get liberated
in the atmosphere if they didn't control global warming. So this guy started
educating people to make them aware about the impacts of their actions. And
that is why we are alive today. Hadn't our ancestors sacrificed their wishes of
having a bigger family and reduced pollution and waste, we would have perished
by now. Thanks to them we are alive today, living such a happy family life
full of luxuries.
Today, we have an
autonomous systems of robots and artificial intelligence. These systems are to
serve people, save other species and conserve nature. These systems are fueled by
solar power. In 2 minutes, our earth gets energy from sun rays equivalent to
all the energy that used to be consumed in 2018 for the whole year by the whole
world. I think our ancestors did the right thing by making these systems solar
powered. It is to fulfill all the requirements of the planet. It produces products for daily use, provides services of all kinds from household chores
to sweeping roads, suffices energy requirements, provides transportation, etc.
etc., and it goes without saying that everything is solar powered.
We humans don't work. Our
ancestors used to use money for all kinds of transactions. We use carbon
foot-print (CFP) as a currency. Central AI has a standard formula. Based on the
population on the planet, it drills down the maximum value of CFP one can use,
per family. So if you have more children, CFP value per person is less in your
family. If your CFP value is less for the year, you get to use limited
facilities of transportation, energy consumption, and so on. That way, we keep
check on the pollution and prevent ourselves from making major mistakes. We
also award families who use the minimum CFP units which ultimately means
conserving environment.
Since these automated systems do everything for us, we get time to innovate. We enhance
these systems and robots every now and then. We spend a lot of time with family
and friends. We share our ideas freely as now we have only one religion on this
planet - Nature. Since we do not have to earn like our ancestors, and people are
treated equally via a standard, unbiased system, there is so much joy around here. People
are aware that their lives are the result of their own actions and is not
dependent on fate or God or anyone else. That is why people take ownership of
their lives and are not jealous of others. In fact, people help each other more
and more. We explore art, music, dance, sculpting and other creative options.
We have now learned to balance the use of both right and left brain. Also, since
there is not much to do for us, people are directed towards spirituality. We
are very close to understand the concept of the Sanskrit Shloka:
" Om Purnam-Adah, Poornam-idam, Poornaat-Poornam-Udachyate,
Poornasya, Poornam-Aadaaya, Poornam-Eva-Avashishyate "
Today, variety of
species are thriving on this planet. Mother Nature is blossoming at her best.
What the various nations dreamt in the past about equality, we have achieved
that for the whole world! For this, I give the credit to our ancestors. It is
because of them that the population could be reduced and we could see this day.
Reduced population has also helped in better administration, governance, allocation of
resources and services for betterment of everyone.
They made mistakes and
learnt from it. They have taught us to walk on the right path instead of the easier one. They have set an unparalleled example before us with their actions. Their
united actions are the reason we are united today. Our ancestors dreamt of this
beautiful day for us, and it's because of them that we are living it today. No
matter how much grateful we feel towards them, it would be insufficient. We are
committed to live on the path of love and service they have shown us.
Their roots have given us the wings.
They are Gods to us.
