Growing up in the 1980's, the future (year 2000) was predicted to be a time when you would be able to realize any dream. To have a dream, and then make it real! So 1990 came..1993..1996..1998..and we are now about to enter 1999. We are now living in the "future". And looking at where the world is at today, I've come to the realization that the "future" is mostly visual titillation, and hardly any substance. For example "Star Trek" was supposed to be a picture of the future, yet the space program is doubtful that they will ever complete a full spacestation. There is still no real cure for cancer,retardation,Aids. People still get old and die. People sill have to spend most of their time working at a job they hate so they can survive another day to work another day. Automobiles still use polluting gasoline. There are no practical hoverboards. This world's advancement has been in producing more and more realistic illusions, NOT substance. For example computer animation, all the Adobe Photoshop software, Ray Dream Studio,etc...This has been the area where man has put most of his energys. Not to make the lives of people better by giving them substance. But how to make better and better illusions in movies, more visual titillation, while the planet goes to hell. Sure there has been some progress, for instance now we can chit-chat on the phone while driving in our car. "That was worth the wait,what a time to be alive." The world doesn't need "magician gods", masters of illusions and trickery. People need substance. Computer generated images are nice to look at, but people need miracles not magic. I do still believe that a wonderful future age is possible, but as long as the motive is to "get paid" we will continue on down the same bestial path. Better special effects means bigger audience which means more money for the studios. The more pain killers the hospital can sell, the more money for the hospitals. If a cure to the illness was discovered, people would no longer need the hospitals, and the hospitals would loose money. A wonderful future is possible for mankind, but a pure time can only be brought about by a pure heart. A time of peace can only be brought about by a mind at peace. When peope cease to think like animals, and begin to think like Gods, then and only then will we move into a future filled with light and love. I have come to the realization that children are most like God. God is not an "adult", because adults are not pure in heart, at peace, beautiful, or believe in miracles. God is a child. And a child will bring about a future of light and love. A beautiful boy king.
