It is the year 3019 and almost a thousand years have gone by and nothing drastic has changed except for a huge lapse in the technology and the end of humanity. People around me have no hope left in mankind. I look around myself and I notice that people openly hate each other and no one is willing to help someone in need. It’s weird to think about it but the future is nothing like you would imagine, yet everything. Places are burnt down because of hatred; massive terrorist attacks were executed. Death is not as scary as people back in 2019 thought; Moreover, death is actually peace and only way to find peace is to die.
I believe there is hope in the end. I remember reading newspaper articles back from 2019 stating environmental concerns and how world will end sooner rather than latter. It’s funny to me how the world has not officially ended but the people living in it has. Waking up in the morning I realise I have no hope to get up because the world is not as pretty as it once was. It’s a beautiful place, you know. With rainbows and sunshines, but it’s not happy anymore. Money is happiness for some and the greediness inside them makes them do evil things. Certainly a part of me knows that happiness never comes from money, but indeed I find myself lost in between valuing money or friends and families. But this developed world we live in has lost all the motivation to find the happiness that lies within a community- amongst their loved ones. Moreover, technology has come a long way that the day to day lives of people has become a race for innovating the most significant technology. Ironically, back in the past people wanted to go and check out their future, but let me tell you: You would not want to live in the world I am at. It’s just painful to watch how inhuman we’ve all become and nothing really matters to us more than ourselves and money. This is nothing what I imagined my future would be like, but at the same time I am not at all surprised. Even back then people valued things over emotions. People of the future are lost. No one is willing to help or ask for help. It’s embarrassing to seek help and more inhuman to provide help with. I would lie if I said that I love it in the future, but I were to also lie if I said I wasn’t surprised to what future brought to the man kind. It was on us that our future stinks so bad, and it’s on us that life is painful now. Year 3019 is everything like 2019, but nothing like it at all.
Surprisingly, the government is not applicable. It demolished when people took upon themselves to make decisions that would benefit them. If you hated someone, you could straight up shoot them. Yes, you read it right. Everyone was allowed to have the possession of guns and shooting someone was also okay. I firmly disagree with this idea but our amendment one from the constitution was taken away with our government and other natural rights. It is indeed like a living hell yet no one is willing to change anything. When I first saw all of this, I was taken aback by these events but now it seems normal and I hope it does to you too. If you could take anything from my experience, then take this: “It’s too late”. Humans are out of humanity and all you can do is accept it.
Hello. I wrote this essay for All School Writing Contest. This was a learning essay for me as I was not able to connect the essay into deeper level. This essay was not the best I’ve done but was something I was proud of because I could write what I thought of the world of future. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it!!
