Insatiable human greed and life in the out in the middle of nowhere…!

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

Hey

I hope all of you are doing well…!

A calm Sunday morning it is; I have some guests over and we spent the night eating and talking about our life;

We talked about their lives in Ambala, Haryana and how connected they are to the nature because they are surrounded by fields that have plantations of wheat, sugarcane, other crops and hay all year round…!

They were talking about how breathing is easier and how they just ask their neighbours and they allow them to take something that they need from the fields that have grown fully;

They had spinach a few weeks back and they said it was absolutely delicious…!

Ooh to live this chaotic life behind and be one with nature…!

But all of this comes with a price;

Nothing is near,

They have to travel 30-45 kilometres to reach their workplace and travel the same distance back to their homes;

Also, the shops are a few kilometres away from their place of residence a they need to have a two wheeler to travel back and fro even for basic things…!

The boon and bane of living in a Pind(rural hometown)…!

Coming back to the prompt

Un-inventing something…?!

Hmm; this got me thinking,

There are things like nuclear bombs that are bad;

but;

We are finding good use of them in nuclear power plants that provide a safer form of electricity;

A non renewable source but its low carbon emissions help our short term goals…!

So,

A perfect thing to un-invent; (well I wouldn’t call it un-invent) I’ll search the word later;

I would remove homelessness;

It an inverse sense it would mean to make housing affordable for the unfortunate;

Because there are a lot of things associated with a house, your Id cards, your workplace requires you to have a house to send your paycheque, your bank requires you to have a house where they can send you bank documents like cards and such…!

Basically your survival is dependent on you having a roof over your head and when even that isn’t available the survival becomes extremely tricky…!

So making housing affordable,

Or by un-inventing the insatiable greed that humans have; we would be a great success from the bottom up…!

Cheers 🥂
