Life - A Sad Ending

Sitting on the edge of sidewall of the lake, I was watching the placid surface of water. There was absolute serenity.

The silence was ringing like a deafening noise in my wicked mind. I picked up a stone and hurled it in the air. It dropped on the uninterrupted sheet of water and broke it with a splash.

Thousands of droplets revolted and escaped the strict discipline of the divine unanimity and serenity in a big bang. Competing with each other, each droplet trying to run faster n farther away from the lifeless monotony, went up in the air in ecstasy. 

The gravity of the matter was seriously violated. Deeply disturbed, it sprung to action and started capturing each of the fugitives back. It was only a matter of time, the top shot surrendered to its lackluster destiny. 

But before failing, the mutiny sent the ripples of fear through the serenity, which I saw fading away with time. And a moment later, I was staring blankly at nothingness. 

Serenity reigned again refilling me with uneasy restlessness.

Endowed with not so great five senses, man did well to arrive at jet age. And with enhanced connectivity of minds across the borders, the technology also got wings. Development of various electronic devices supplemented our sluggish senses and helped us to see, hear, smell, taste or feel much beyond our capabilities, and above all gave us the ability to process this enormous data, thus gathered, thru electronic logic gates with the speed of electrons. We were at the door steps of the information age!

Armed with this electric computing power, we transmitted the huge chunks of data through optical network at the blink of an eye. Lo behold! the 5G!! Within no time we become habitual to fast, accurate and prompt responses. The information, which was so hard to access, is now available at the click of mouse.  

To err was human and patience was considered to be a great quality in a good human being. But the technology asks us to be very demanding. Its there to pamper our tantrums and reward us for being mean and intolerant.  

The tech has turned every one of us into an Aladdin. The cell phone, being in Jinni avatar, is our slave, which has enslaved its master. Thy click is my command gadget has turned Aladdin of today into an uncompromising and intolerant brat. We have developed behavioral disorders like ADHD, impatience and intolerance which is very much evident in our actions on social media or otherwise.

The trend is here to stay and the rot is there to grow. No rocket science needed to guess the future of humanity. God bless the Bots! :-)
