To start with, I think that creating some sort of robots to help us with chores would be a wonderful idea.
Imagine no having to clean up your room, wash the dishes, take out the trash, make your bed or fold your clothes. You will have a little cylindrical metallic creature with slender long arms, powerful hands, smiling face, luminous eyes, obedient attitude and rechargeable source of energy. All of your problems will be gone and you will have time for yourself and for your hobbies without any interference from mundane problems like dirty sheets. To continue, I am of the opinion that holographic cells would definitely change our lives. Just take a moment and consider the possibilities. When you call someone you will be able to see a ! image of that person, to feel closer, make a better association between the soft caressing voice and the incredibly looking body of your new crush, and see your bosses" reaction when you call in sick or make the sorrow of your mother disappear when you are away. #astly, I would say that having flying cars would be a blast. $o bumpy roads, no difficult stops, no turning your stomach upside down in a curve , only smooth rides, fast travel and supersonic speeds. Apart from the traffic being less congested there would also be less pollution and a much smaller risk of accidents. In addition, there would be a whole new dimension to the road infrastructure. To end with, %leanor &oosevelt said that 'the future belongs to the ones who believe in the beauty of their dreams( and so it is strictly up us how we shape it. Whether we want flying cars or robots it is our duty to preserve the beauty of the planet while en)oying the development of technology. A look in the mirror, a look in your soul There is a relatively good number of events that can mark our lives for better or for worse but they are as many as the people who walk the earth. *ave you ever thought what it would feel like if the best moment of your life will become true again+ Imagine the surge of )oy, the tingling fingers, the heart pumping through your chest with such brute force that your collar bone could shatter, the translucent warm salty sweat on your palms, each hair distancing itself from your body, your eyelashes flying unyielding through the now hard to breath air, the dry soft rosy skin of your mouth, the incredibly sensitive skin. ,r on the contrary, remember the same rapidly beating heart throbbing in your chest because of fear, your skin emanating an unattractive odor of desperation, goose bumps, a rumbling hurting stomach, clenched fists with sharp nails piercing through your palms, adrenaline taking over your brain and the sudden reali-ation that you are reliving the worst episode of your e.istence. /arious e.periences bring diverse sensations but we are prone to conserving and carry with us through time only the best memories. To start with, the happiest event in my life was the birth of my younger sisters. I am of the opinion that nothing can compare to the feeling of being witness to such a marvelous moment. I still can remember )ust like it was yesterday the first time I
saw Tina. !elicate tiny chocolate hair tenderly caressing a blushful silk skin, rectangular yellowish nails little as grains of rice on top of chubby fingers, deep pure enormous circular cobalt eyes, fleshy playful lips, a plump angelic face, a petite body no bigger than a carnival &ussian doll, a small nose pinched at the top and a peaceful reassuring smile 0 this was my sister. 1he was a bundle of )oy, the chestiest e.pression of human love. 1econdly, if I have to talk about my greatest fear I would say that losing someone you care about is one of the greatest and most powerful moments of one"s life as it bring unimaginable sorrow. I cannot dare to think of anything more grotes2ue than having to sit near the eternal cold mammoth ebony coffin of a loved one, observing the fro-en unforgiving time on their otherworldly stern face, the peaceful unknowing smile on their mauve velvet lips, the closed eyelids as doors to secret chambers, the unspoiled clothes, the distant memory of a )oyful life, the ethereal smell of death. Thirdly, being asked to choose my favorite )ourney I would describe the trip I made to an %astern %uropean city two years ago. When I close my eyes my mind revives everything and I can see again the hustle and the bustle of the city, the dense foggy air, the gigantic stone 3othic buildings, the pitched greenish tile roofs, the arched bridges, the long sidewalks paved with colored marble, I can smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the mouthwatering smell of cakes. %verything was into.icatingly beautiful, stimulating every sense, making you to give into temptation and unite with the city, become a part of it and never leave. #ast but not least, I am of the opinion that one thing which will change my life would be some sort of newly designed chocolate. I consider chocolate to be my remedy for feeling down in the dumps, being stressed or without desire to do anything. I would like to treat my taste buds with a soft airy layer of milky white chocolate, a rainbow colored layer of biscuits, a trace of cherry schnapps , coffee beans, strawberry sauce, pistachio cream and lastly a thick layer of dark brown chocolate. 4amily 5 The 4oundation of ,ur %.istence 6ope John 77III wisely said that 'the family is the first essential cell of human society(. The notion of family can be perceived in numerous different ways but it always comes back to a single important thing8 love. Whether you are ready to accept it or not that incredibly vibrant and fulfilling sense of belonging is truly tackled only when you are among your family. Throughout the centuries many enlightened minds have tried to understand what it is that draws us towards our relatives no matter how much we try to deny our connection and appreciation of them. I am of the opinion that blood is thicker than everything and our episodic ingratitude, hatred or envy of our relatives are )ust perfidious means of fate to make us understand how badly we want to please them. *owever, the general attitude towards family has been changing for worse rather than for the better lately.
To being with, members of the same family have been spending less and less time together. The regular family dinner with its delicious freshly baked bread, soft golden mashed0potatoes, mouthwatering brownish meat, ice cold blood red wine, sweet cocoa and banana cupcakes, the radiant loving kind face of a middle0aged mother, the reassuring deep sparkling eyes of a well0groomed father and the unrelenting giggles of children is )ust a distant memory. ,ne of the main reasons for this situation is the fact that everybody"s schedule seems to be somehow uni2ue thus depriving the individuals of having the chance to sync their free time with the others. 1econdly, the amount of times family members 2uarrel has been reported to have increased with at least 9:; than0when compared to< fifty years ago. 1upposedly the times have changed and so did0have the preferences, the opinions and the choices but0 stop the sentence and start a new one 5 =ut I believe it is the lack of tolerance that is actually to blame0 then you also have inversion< the lack of tolerance is apparently to blame for the recent arguments. 4or e.ample, teenagers tend to contradict their parents more than ten times a day basing their )udgment on the wrong belief that they know what is best for them and what the suitable course of action is in any given situation. Thirdly, what is very likely to be keeping families apart and deteriorate the life our elders appreciated so much is the lack of respect. 1iblings do not have any consideration for each other, children have stopped showing respect for their parents and grandparents and the hard work and dedication of the elders is nullified in face of the youth. The society nowadays is prone towards perpetual change therefore making it hard for the newcomers to accept the advice of old fashioned relatives. ,n the other hand, we may say that family life has evolved into a better shape, a shape which allows its components to give contour to their own personalities. In fewer words, time brought independence. This could be considered to be one of the most important, perpetually present problems as every single one of us desires to be an unparalleled persona, to have authority and to be recogni-ed as not having any e2uivalent. 6erhaps trying to separate yourself from your family is what many of us think to be the way to achieving the above mentioned results. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that family life is going in an unknown direction through a path which is not paved with gold but rather with dirt and disappointment as nothing good can come out of trying to negate your origins and distancing yourself from the ones that love you the most. 4amily is by nature an undivided institution and should stay so in order for our world to function ade2uately.
Is freedom the e2uivalent of happiness+ >ahatma 3andhi defined happiness as the moment 'when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony(. >oshe !ayan appreciated freedom as being 'the o.ygen of the soul(. =ut what connection do this two really have+ It is generally believed that being happy and feeling contempt is tightly related to the amount of freedom you are granted. This is mainly due to the fact that people are born free, satisfied and without a care and in order to regain that initial paradisiacal state one has to liberate oneself of any restriction which may be considered harmful for their intentions and natural path. If we were to analy-e each of these two terms we would be inclined to start with freedom as its meaning is more of actuality. 4reedom can be plastici-ed in the form of a petite pearl white dove with thick fluffy short silky feathers weighting less than the dense ancestral air, hidden little round black diamond eyes and gentle spear0 like wings batting restlessly, getting altitude and flying to infinite golden meadows. ,n the other hand, happiness is the so much desired meadows. It is rivers of honey, powder of butterflies, pure angelic songs and into.icating smells of colorful flowers. To put it short, freedom leads you to happiness. *owever, these are only idealistic descriptions and the e.tent to which freedom brings happiness is open for debate. 4rom a legal point of view, having a great amount of freedom could mean the perpetual disobedience of law and therefore disappearance of order. *ow could an outcome like this be benefic+ !iscovering that punishment for mischievous acts is no more could determine individuals to behave according to their most basic and animal instincts and therefore being more violent, more susceptible to following prey to devilish inclinations. As a result, higher crime rates, vandalism and lack of safety would become features of our reality eliminating any hope of happiness one might have. %conomically talking, being given greater freedom can mean at a nationwide level being able to manipulate the resources without taking into considerations the immediate needs and re2uirements of life. 4or e.ample, governments are very likely to spend vast amount of money in creating a pleasant image for themselves, becoming appealing for a particular category, investing in the direction of that people and destabili-ing the construction of the state. #ack of democracy, poor living conditions and huge differences among social classes are again less likely to bring happiness. If we were to talk about the matter from a psychologist"s place0standpoint we would say that greater freedom can lead very often to self0destructive behavior. Imagine being given the chance to decide every single little thing in your life from its start to its ape. to its end. *ow many bad decisions have you been prevented from turning into reality+ $o guidance and no interdictions are the primary cause of damaged personality, mental disorders and self0acceptance issues.
To conclude with, the line between the positive effects and the negative one of having greater freedom is 2uite blurry and whether it can lead or not to happiness is up to each individual. 1ome of us work better under direct orders, social conventions and moral interdictions while others can do )ust fine with listening to the voice of their very own conscious.
