If Only Everybody was an Ass...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away there lived a dozen donkeys. They were all simply donkeys, as normal donkeys are expected to be. Pure and simple. Calm and serene. Living life in their own style, not a care for the rest of the universe. Never the ones to flinch from hard-work, these donkeys were the epitome of altruism and perseverance ( Thanx R-asS ) in their own beautiful way. And with that childish innocence and mature composure of theirs, they painted such a perfect picture of themselves that it was hard not to envy them.

But after all, they were donkeys. And as they say- Once a donkey, Always a donkey. So, their world evolved in a manner very different than ours. Their society became a supreme example of what is meant by just and fair. A complete absence of competition, avarice, ill-will, hatred, deception and vanity put their society in a league of its own. And all of that, precisely because they were donkeys. Because being donkeys, they were never able to articulate such emotions as the complex thought process required to generate such feelings was simply beyond them. So, they continued to live like brothers. Peace at its colossal best. And the last time that we heard of them, they were still enjoying the fruits of harmonious coexistence like nobody else in universe.

Now cut down to 2009 AD, Planet Earth and we begin to realize that much has gone terribly wrong with this world of ours. Men have ceased to be Men. Lust is ruling the roost. Anarchy runs wild in the streets as we watch meekly, surrendering ourselves to our desires. Masked faces, fake smiles are on display everywhere,daily. Words like conscience, trust sound more hollow than ever. Emotions have taken a backseat whilst ‘I’ has become the driver of our actions and thoughts. We have been reduced to walking corpses, our lives mere ironies.But may be, we were not destined to end this way. And thats why it becomes even harder not to imagine what life would have been like in that society in that galaxy far, far away. The thought comes racing to my mind- Our world could have been a much better place to live in.
If only we weren’t this awesome.
If only we didn’t have such brains.
If only Everybody was an Ass...

P.S: Read between the lines.
