Means will be the End (by Janhavi Uppal)

AI takes control over the world which was being controlled by humans, by us. No jobs, no work, only money, people, leisure and all the comfort of the world. What can I, as a human do here, in this mechanised world ? What will I do in this mechanised world ? Will I have any "will" to do anything ? Or maybe, I will do what I love, what I have always wanted to do genuinely. In this world full of artificial intelligence, will knowledge make more sense and will I want to study for the sake of studying instead of gaining marks. Will I dance because I like dancing or I want to dance, instead of dancing as a form to let out my so called "negative/positive emotions." The art, in this world, will have a greater beauty and purpose for me because my means are my ends in themselves. I will not have to do anything to find an end to it but because I love the means which are my ends in themselves.

I will explore myself, as a person, as a being. If we look at the beautiful nature which does not have any job per say to do, it still gives the man what he needs, without complaining, without any credit, with all the negative and positive comments that it receives. It gives us unconditionally. Maybe in a world where I have all the time for myself, I will look for a greater inner satisfaction and love which will make me subtle, kind and giving. It will teach me to give unconditionally. Maybe in a world like this, humans will have a greater purpose, a greater sense of humanity. This mechanised world has an immense power to teach humanity to humans for there will be no place left for greed and jealousy.

I will have friends and relationships which are deeper because then nobody will have anything to do except to appreciate and enjoy the life they have been given. Yes, some people might get sad, depressed, anxious and worries. Infact, all the people who are not connected to themselves, to the inner being, will experience certain negative emotions, however, they will have people who are connected, to talk to them, to help them and to make them realise the beauty of the world.

Maybe in a world like this, past and future will stop bothering us and all we will have is now. We will live in the present, in the now. We are living in the now.
