Theme Of Life In understanding what makes us human we must truly understand what makes ourselves work. It’s not a simple guessing game whereas you think you are one thing, or like lets say happy, or the other, which would be sad of course. If you believe in the common good of this world then you will understand that in the end goodwill will ultimately prevail and all things will be happy. So begins this story of mankind’s struggle to maintain a peaceful coexistence with not understanding what is completely around us. The world we live in is in the far off future, technologic achievement has been accomplished, whereas now the only thing left in this world to fix is what societal problems exist now…the evolution of the species has left this world looking all the same, severely lacking in any true personality traits. Each person has the same look, same features, even same bowel movements at the exact same time…so all that is left for this world is to achieve a perfect co-existence where no human begins are different, and where an original idea is about as common as finding a million dollars in a sewer. Is there hope in this world? Who knows, a common goal for our main character, Christopher, is to figure out what is the purpose of his life…he himself is a unique person in that he completely has not been programmed to be a robotic figure with routine functions, he was born without these tendencies, but as babies grow up into children they mimic those around them…Christopher is surrounded by this complete lack of spontaneity, but he himself does not question this world, but through real human tragedies he figures out a purpose and an understanding of what is important in this world. This of course is just an overlay into this so you can get an understanding of what to expect of this world, and to see if any change will occur. 2283…planet earth Documentation…world constitution We as a people, united and unchanged, will serve a purpose to god to preserve humanity and to maintain goodwill for as long as we live…all peoples will be given equal freedom, equal education, equal rights for as long as they stay unchanged in this world…we as a people declare no government, but a universal goodwill which will triumph against all evils that will present themselves in any time period…as a people we must take an oath, which will vehemently deny any sense of individualism in our world…for this encompasses a internal greed which is against all we expect and come to expect from our people…we must maintain stability and preserve this society and change is not encouraged…this sameness in itself makes us unique, and will let us continue as a grand society… Christopher 5th year of life…(just a regular boy) Christopher is a young man at this point in life, going through a simple day at school…in this world, which such a sameness, one would question whether or not a child would be able to maintain complete stability, being that children at such a young age are so spontaneous and full of originality, but modern medicine when a baby is born, implants a device into the brain, which matures the baby to act like a modern adult…though the baby will need to go to the bathroom, the baby will not cry like in other torn societies, the baby will simply touch his diaper and this will instruct the parent or guardian to change the diaper…automatic baby changing could be achieved, but diaper changing is very important in this world, because it presents a parent-child relationship that is very important in maintaining a proper relationship…so now back to Christopher, who was never implanted this device, this device, besides monitoring a babies maturation also makes sure the person itself is maintaining a stable earth like existence which basically means that this person is going by all the laws of this world…so Christopher, as I mentioned much earlier, has lived his early life through mimicry, though as a baby he cried, his mother kept this a secret, we will understand why later on…so Christopher was told by his mother that whatever pains he ever felt, he must recite a passage from the governments sub laws…# 2.12….we are all the same and must act like those around us…so when he was in school Christopher and his classmates were playing a game of “who can recite the earthly bylaws quickest”…this was a game, but all the children were always able to recite at the same time the bylaws, and everyone would finish in the same time…even Christopher who though was not “programmed” was able through time and just plain intelligence was able to pattern himself just like all others. Today was Christopher “birthday”, and though typically in this world, everything is supposed to act for the equality of the world, a birthday was considered to be an original day only for a brief period of time…the class at the end of class stopped what they were doing turned to Christopher and said in the same monotone voice “happy birth day Christopher, hope you maintain a stable and peaceful coexistence with all those around you”…he was given a book having to do with the history of his people, which after evolution of the decrepit human race, is about now 200 years old…Christopher being soooo happy and full of real life blushed on the cheeks and then which his eyes glowing said to the class in a way mostly everyone responds to a gift, “thank you all, and lets maintain stability in this world…I really love this gif……the teacher grabbed Christopher and brought him outside class and said to him “Christopher, what did you just say???” Christopher’s rationale was that he needed to realize that any sense of originality in anything he says will cause punishment and those in his family, so he must act quick, and he was able to deter any further problems with the teacher… “Oh I said thank you all, and lets maintain stability in this world” she said “oh, okay”….Christopher avoided a conflict but afterwards walking home Christopher thought to himself, “what would happen if all of a sudden I just suddenly said anything that came to my mind, what could they do…these people are soooo strange” but that thought passed because he remembered that his mother told him that there is a programmed police that grabs those that are against the government and brings them to an area far away from earth and kills them. Christopher 20th year of life…(understanding your destiny) We stumble upon Christopher at such a later age…fifteen years have passed, but things have not changed really…the world is still completely stable and perfect, to those around Christopher…but Christopher has learned more than what has been programmed…his mother gave him reading material that was passed down from previous generations from the fallen human civilization…whereas all that went wrong occurred, Christopher had read these things his whole life…maintaining some such of reality and originality in his life…when Christopher was really young, his mother would rarely bring him outside to go over neighbors homes, because of fear that they would know Christopher was completely different from all other people. So when at home, Christopher would ask his mother questions about this world, why everything was always the same, his mother would tell him every time, “this is for the best”…Christopher would later learned from his mother that there have been many cases where other people from this civilization were taken off planet and sent away and killed…she explained that we are all a program, a highly sophisticated program, which though perfect, has some bugs, occasional bugs which would mean minor to a human from 400 years earlier, will lead to death… Christopher’s mother was worried, because any slip up in this system, and even Christopher would be suspected of being an outsider, and even though he could have a perfect track record, he would be sent away and killed, and no law could save him. Christopher never told his mother about that incident when he was five, he did not want his mother to worry, though she herself is programmed, she has plenty of bugs, and acts very unlike her other peoples. But at times she could be completely devoid of any emotion and just act like all the others, Christopher never knew this, he would find out in his 20th year of life…At age 20, at this point in life, a person needed to find a job, all got the same job at the same place, which was mainly an information database store…which processed numbers and data, Christopher was supposed to apply on his birthday, but instead his mother had become sick, though technological superior did occur, the life that a person would have was rather short, the longest anyone had lived was until 50 years of age…this was a statistic which could never change, no matter how much research was done…though Christopher’s mother was “buggy” at times, she still was one of the others and would soon pass on…Christopher sat by her bed, his father and other brother, were in another room doing work, telling Christopher that ‘this is life, this is for the general goodwill of this world” Christopher overcome with emotions sits next to his mother who is about to pass and cries and says “mother, I feel soooo horrible right now, with extreme guilt, why is this happening to you, and why is father and brother not here with me”…his mother now crying says to unable to contro l her emotions “this is the world we live in Christopher, that is what you father and brother will do, that is what they will do over and over again, it is not their fault, that is the way we were all made, except for you, you are special, you are one of a kind, those people you hear about that get sent away, they are just glitches, they cannot maintain a sense of identity or soul” Christopher looked at his mother confused, and asked her “what do you mean, they will always do this?” she looked away and said to the sky “if there is a god, he was destroyed long ago, you see I believe that people thought that this world was so terrible long ago, and they completely wanted to change the way it was made, it replaced the most important thing in the world you need, which is love, we all need love and how can we live our lives, and not to cry, this is the first time I have cried since you were a little boy…because Christopher you are full of life, you are life, you are going to begin it all…you are what god has sent out into this earth to change the whole structure of what everything truly is…you are real, you know what to do in your life, you are everything that is good in this horrible world, you are going to change this world, you are sooo special that you have no idea what you are capable of doing…there is no more religion in this world, they tell you that god created us to be equals and to maintain this world, but god never wanted this world to be completely devoid of human feeling…it all has gone awry…you are what this world has needed for soooo long, you are my god, you are my savior….this has been done for the maintenance of our world, it is necessary for our spe…..Christopher, I love you” Overcome with extreme sadness, Christopher lays atop his deceased mother and says to her “this world is what has driven you to pass about mommy, I was supposed to do what other people always did, I could do what I naturally felt…you protected me, and that is what is soooo special about you…you are more real than me, you protected me and held me and loved me, and you made sure I lived my life the way it was supposed to be…I know what my destiny is…this world is only for me to save, and if I don’t save this world, what hope is there left to be in this world”. Christopher’s 20th year of life, five days later(reborn) Christopher mourned for an entire day…..with this extreme burden, Christopher sat in his bedroom in deep thought for another day, realizing the great pressures which he now feels…for another two days, Christopher sleeps, for now he truly sleeps, knowing everything that there is to know, Christopher’s extreme intelligence was not just this mimicry that he was learned through time…Christopher knew many things in this world, he was now able to comprehend everything he saw in front of him and was able to do many things with no worries, he felt strong, stronger than all others, he felt wiser, he had complete control of everything around him….Christopher walked outside his home, and saw two dogs playing with each other, his father and brother were outside too, reading an article that is sent by the government, Christopher seeing the life and joy in these dogs turned to both and said, “hey guys, look at these dogs, so full of life, it all seems natural, I bet you that dogs were the things god created because they look so real and genuine”…both father and son were in a daze, hearing so many phrases that were not of common listening in their household. Christopher’s father said to him, “what do you mean?” Christopher turned to them both and said, “I cannot believe you can’t see what I see”….a pause and severe looks of confusion ensue… “I see life” Christopher walked back inside the house and looked about the house, he saw the pictures of himself with his family, all of them showing not once single sign of personality, no smiles, no emotion…Christopher walked inside his mothers room and looked in the back of the closet and saw a box and this box he saw something that amazed him and made him even happier…he saw pictures of himself and his mother, when he was a baby, and his mother was happy, she must have been buggy that day…but there she was real and in real joy, it looked like we were the only two people in the world. There were little notes in the box that were written by Christopher and his mother. Christopher’s notes and pictures showed happy faces, everything full of joy and life. His mother wrote notes which had phrases like “my savior” and “your power will exceed all else” . There was also a message from his mother, who said, “when you learn all that there is to learn, whatever you imagine to come true will come true”. Christopher went back outside and his father and brother were still doing nothing in particular and Christopher walked up to both of them and said, “ I love you both and I hope I will see you in the afterlife”….both men looked at him in confusion, unable to say anything. Christopher walked along the streets and for days, saw the same things everyday, he saw the simple non-conflicting world, no chaos, but also no life at all…was there a real need to change this world, Christopher put hope in trying to save this world, he started going up to people, talking to them, the problem was that Christopher spoke so well that he confused all those he talked to, like he was a foreigner back in the early history of earth when all spoke different languages, but no one spoke different languages so Christopher was being talked about…he would walk up to babies and look at them, and smile at them, and the baby looked back, unable to respond, Christopher thought of what his mother wrote and said to the little baby “maybe a little bit of life could save you” Christopher all of a sudden put his arm around this baby, the mother again confused by the phrase he said, called the authorities, who came instantaneously to the home… Christopher saw the authorities come and looked at the authorities while whispering in the babies ear, “you are now the beginning of real life” the baby all of a sudden did that baby thing where it smiles, looking all innocent and full of life, and Christopher smiled, finally seeing some life, besides what he saw from his mother…suddenly, the police grabbed Christopher’s arm, but his arm turned to ice, the officer’s arm froze and he screamed out, then another officer grabbed Christopher’s arm, which turned to fire, thus burning the officer arm…the baby though was not harmed at all from what was occurring…the officers had seen the harm that Christopher was capable of and walked away, Christopher walked toward them all and said aloud, “ chaos is all that is left of this world, it is not your faults, this is your purpose, your goal, we all purposes in life, though all of you have no true souls, this was your purpose, and you will find a right place in the afterlife…there is no one truly to blame, humanity has always tried to fix what maybe they cannot fix, perfection is impossible in this world, its our nature, whoever created this system, its not their faults, they did what they thought was best, so no blame should be put upon them…but there is nothing left in this world to save, everything has fallen too far down at this point to save” within seconds later the entire planet darkened ….for 20 years, earth had darkened and no sounds could be heard…………and suddenly the planet had lit up again…but things changed, no people were left, all forms of technology vanished, no more buildings, automobiles, it was all gone, this world was full of vegetation and animals, but all these animals lived within an environment of peace and non violence….plus there was a person on earth, that little baby that vanished with Christopher, the baby was now 20 years of age…how did he grow? Maybe he was raised wherever he was taken, but now he also had a mate, someone to love and take care of for the rest of his natural life…the young man had a note from whoever had took care of him during those 20 years, which said, “everything is starting over again, and you are the beginning of it”.
