A New Direction (By Amulya)



Amulya D Kuriakose



This form of utopia, I perceive to be threatening on various grounds. Having no direction of sorts is unimaginable for a human to live with. Though we are capable of resistance and rebellion against an imposed rule or lifestyle, we are always looking for direction. And in this case, the absence of a necessity to work and earn your own living, is in other words striking off a very basic direction to living life. I believe that humans would definitely come up with an alternate form of status achievement. It is not intended by this that humans today define their achievement based on jobs alone. There are various other means and motivations in life for any individual who explores beyond the imposed. However, jobs being a very defining factor of one’s status and capabilities in the society, erasing this factor would bring about its replacement by another factor, which could range from educational qualification to maybe the number of places visited. It is also possible that people start defining new factions and levels of achievement in each of these factions altogether. Talents, strengths and knowledge quotients of each individual would find new ways of being expressed.
