Utopia

All things, great and small, are created by a perfect harmony of multiple phases, like music played on a piano; there are many keys to create a simple masterpiece; the masterpiece of nature is life. Most small things seem inferior but without one can disrupt the whole system creating a sense of fear, greed and inhumanity for things that are considered vital suddenly become scarce. The term “utopia” is considered to mean a perfect world, a world in which war, hunger, and disease do not exist, then yet human life continues to turn a blind eye to what is truly happening to our home; scars are burnt into the landscapes, animals are disappearing, insects that pollinate plants are vanishing and sometimes without a trace. Human life may consider itself to be powerful, whole, special, intelligent, but regardless of the word human life will not last if the system is disrupted for it depends on the one source that all life requires – food. Utopia? It is not a word that actually exists for human life is naturally selfish; it takes but rarely gives back. The world human life aspires to is not always created for nature always comes second in human thought. Pity is the only word that can be assigned to human life for it is not as superior as it considers itself to be for nature has a sneaky way of turning human life on its very own head.
