Reem yasser writes :Stuck in utopia
I have always believed in fairy tales , miracles , and in those tiny fluffy clouds that appear when you just start thinking but unfortunately those clouds were polluted by the dust of our world.
People forgot ethics , mercy , and they forgot what they have learnt and taught , also they forgot the reason of their existence !
Abundance , freedom and peace , those three elements are always central. Actually they were the central basis of utopia , but I’ve had always another opinion. I think that utopia , the wonderful city at everything was based on loyalty , honesty and also goodness. I swear that if those elements were central nowadays , we would have our utopia.
But nobody listen , and people always put themselves and their needs on the forefront. They only give heed to their priorities , their goals and in the process would not think of anyone else , and if anything oppose what they want , they would open the fire at everything !
If you asked me , I would say that people are always selfish, they look like machines , who were going towards a certain direction , and they could not stop themselves !
But surprise, It’s not all about you ! , we should admit that selfishness is ruining our society and turning people into monsters , yes our “must-have” culture is damaging our life and our social relations. Because people are ready to hurt others , to lie , to break the rules and to do anything in order to achieve their goals.
When it comes to getting their needs , they would turn deaf ear to the necessities of others and they have a have tunnel vision which starts from and leads to themselves and their personal needs alone.
Finally I know that materialism and pervading sense of selfishness has become the norm in our world , but I’ve always believed in goodness , and also I believed that we are good by nature but corrupted by society.
So we are born to fail and learn , we must stop behaving as a machines , we have brain and heart , we should start loving each other , saying the truth , being loyal and honest and we should say “our needs” instead of “my needs” , and if we do that ,utopia will become real and it won’t be fictional anymore.
