nuclear family

the nuclear family In a nation far from here, several big explosions occurred  of such a magnitude,  the cohesion of humanity has the body, the brain, lost connection with the soul   the rebuilding didn't take long in a nation of smart and hard-working people, whose new motto was "niceness"  Modern houses were built, and smart furniture and shiny walls where a few nice paintings lacked any marks of intrusive souls hung Young families had fewer children, one or two, children  tend to get in the way of the prosperity of success  since the land was based on niceness, people got married without the high, drama that happens when souls are involved Philosophy, religion and intellectual ideas were absent  TV had little news from abroad but filled programs with  gentle comedy, nice soap opera, and sweet animal programs when it was reported, the population was shrinking a little if anything was done about this, but it was getting worse especially when robots that looked human, and could be commanded by thought control, came on the market Many men instead of going true, the trite ritual of courting  bought female robots looking like a beautiful woman of about twenty-five, who also could small talk In the bar, they were called C.S. M. D. Y Then came the male version for women, a nice robot  looking twenty-five forever; after that, fewer and fewer children born and the population was in free fall as years went by there were more robots than people and the nation, which had based its motto on niceness and had banned aggression, was invaded, and the original population that was left banished from view as philosophers said, the people, the survivors a great the explosion had eradicated themselves
