I have thought of many things and kept them to myself, and one of them is the idea of creating the first humans and giving them the world to own. The question is: was the world, as it is now, created to be like this from the start?
As most of us learned from the religious book, the Bible, Adam and Eve were created to live in the garden. They lived in the garden where they had everything until things were spoiled for them, which led to the harsh reality of the world today. My point is that this harsh reality was already created and arranged before Adam and Eve’s time; it only unfolded as they lived on.
You want to tell me that the world was meant to be populated with humans created with free will and that problems were not going to occur? No way! The world was created with problems alongside it.
Just like I usually say, you cannot completely define life (our existence on this earth) without mentioning problems. In fact, take away problems and you will see life lose its value.
As we have come to live, problems in any form are what give birth to growth in life, and I am not referring to physical growth.
Now, what about a world without problems?
As much as life challenges are always overwhelming and sometimes make us want to stop living, life without problems is going to be a problem in itself—except maybe there is absolutely nothing like problems in this world, which cannot be possible because problems always know how to crawl out.
Take a look at this instance:
Let us say we are all meant to wake up, eat food, sleep, and eat food again without the need to work or be bothered about anything. Although there will not be stigmatisation based on human physique as we have today, even then, some people are going to be very plump and probably will not be able to pass through doors. Fighting to be in good shape then becomes a major concern. This case is just 0.01% of the problems the world would face because of living without problems.
If the world were to be without problems, maybe we would still be climbing mountains to make and receive calls just to get network signals. No one would have thought of improving the technological lifestyle. In fact, there would not have been anything like a phone because our brains would have been so blocked from thinking and inventing things to make life easier.
Let me round up with this:
Some years back, we had some relatives who came all the way from the city to live with us in the compound. The children of the family were city-bred, with dull minds when it came to tackling simple things that their mates ought to be able to do. The girl among them—a very big girl—would use the toilet and walk out with her nyash unclean, waiting for her mother to clean it and flush the toilet. She would walk around and sit on chairs with the smell, and she would not be bothered until her mother attended to her. Imagine that kind of life. That is how we would live on this planet Earth if the problems that force us to grow were not there.
Thanks for reading.
