Futuristic Year 2030...

The year 2030

My Age: 65

I’m too old for this. My energy is not like the old days anymore. But though, this is what I must do, before I take my last breathe. To leave a trace of my thoughts behind, so that those energetic can learn from my past. I’m putting my hope high that this invention of mine can take note of every thought I’m having now, my mind wave sensor, P3DS.

Please be patient while listening to this, my friends… Do not try to ignore the message within my side of story. Because there is truth in my every single word.

Our once beautiful and secure mother earth can no longer give us the protection we need for survival. And it all started since the day we dug deep into the core for materials for industrialisation. It’s sad, oh yes! It is. So how to begin this with? It’s very unfortunate for you, my fellow young ones, to be born at this critical time. Who are to blame but ourselves, to suffer like we are now? Massive pollution around the world that we are facing now is the consequences that we must take for our deed in the past centuries. Look around you, now. Is this the home that you dream for? Living in this circular building which is the only land of our country, with artificial trees, animals, sceneries and weather? Don't you ever dream to live in natural breeze, rather than human made ones? We have ruined our planet so much that we can’t live outside, exposing to the deadly poisonous air without a protective mask no more. Every time we look out of our window, there's just mist and fog everywhere. Natural beauties of mother earth are no where to be seen.

Another country has been attacked by a life-threatening disease, and it isn’t pleasant to hear and to feel... The news of more deaths pressing on us.. The disease is spreading in an alarming rate, many are dead and the medical units are trying their very best to put a stop to it. It’s not an easy task, seeing that the medical units have not enough medical facilities. It is rumoured that the government is secretly covering up some of the death toll. That government knows it well that if the country is under such a threat like this, it would be the end of it. In order to straighten this grave crisis as quickly as it can be, the government has required for the aid of other countries. The remaining countries on this planet, are trying their best to help, of course. Yet, there aren’t many willing to send medical units to answer that county’s call, not when they are afraid of the possible threat that might surface when diseases spread to their land. That, makes our situation gravely still.

So you see, we have lost our freedom, and it’s our fault. For centuries, since the start of the industry evolution, we have felled down billions and billions of trees, just for development. We have not made our plans rationally. We are shortsighted. We are to be blamed. You can find this hard to believe, my dear young ones. And yes, it’s men who have done this; you would think how stupid they once were, don’t you? You would blame the generation way ahead before you, of how much damage they have done to your life. You have lost your right to breathe freely outside this protection barrier. We have retreated into this tiny space, and unless we can find a new planet soon, we, that is, the former generation, may die out of despair. It’s they way people are, to feel sorry for what they have done in the past and try their best to repay it. But what is done, is done.

For years, we have built on our land and developed every inch of it we can find. We have done that just so to make sure we can live in a more suburban way. Every traditional living has been washed away by the tide of technology. We produce a wide variety of new gadgets but at the same time we also generate a lot of unwanted and hazardous gases into our atmosphere, hence has affected our environment, health and the ecosystem. Of course, our livestyle have been improved. But the other living things who share this planet with us are in living hell. They have lost their freedom and died of polluted ecosystem. We have taken over their natural habitat, shorten their life spans and ignored their rights to exist harmoniously with us. We are killers, of other living things and finally, to our own species.

Do you think we have learnt from our past? No, we don’t. I wonder if we ever will. Nowadays, we still produce tons of unwanted waste. Before this, we have faced a real problem to find a free space to dispose of our waste. Now that we’re no longer living outside with the polluted air, we dump our waste outside of this building instead. When will we ever learn? That’s our weakness; we always do our best to shove unwanted things away from our sight as far as we can. Ignorance is what we do at all times. But wake up; can we ignore it any longer? The haze is pressing in around us, all over the world! We were too reckless and that end us up in this immense pollution. We do not want that cycle starts all over again by our new generations. There is no more room for that to happen anyway.

I saw the made for all the suffering we are having now. I hope you will have a firm grip on the chance given to you to change the future of yours and newer generation.

Think before you act, we only live once in this life time, isn’t it?
