The magic ingredient
Many years had passed since science revolutionized life on Earth, again. No one questioned the creative power of the human mind anymore. The pioneers in these studies had to endure humiliation and discredit, but in a short time, endless discoveries were simultaneously made that only confirmed their theories: humans through their thoughts created their reality and therefore, they were solely responsible for it. They were, face to face, with the possibility of making each and every one of your dreams come true.
Relevant studies had shown, in an irrefutable way, the true nature of the human being. And with a simple… “we are energy”, the researchers put an end to a monumental report where surprises alternated with mathematical formulas.
In this context, the body was relegated to the background, with thoughts and emotions taking center stage because it did not matter what it was, from the most insignificant or annoying to the most coveted and beautiful, it all started with a thought.
Both believers and unbelievers spent a good part of their time putting into practice what was so much talked about, and although some seek confirmation and others refutation, everyone was ecstatic at the results they obtained. Without much effort they managed to attract into their lives what they wanted regardless of the sign of their faith: New car, new house, dream job, perfect boyfriend… cat, red fish with a black stripe but only on the small fin. Each time they became more and more specific in their desires with the sole objective of testing the creative power of their thoughts..
In a short time the impatience of the humans surfaced. Achieving his goals was not enough, they wanted to get them instantly. Scientists worked hard to satisfy this new fad and discovered that the delay was due to a characteristic as human as it was silent.… “they don't feel worthy” was the conclusion, and to eradicate this belief your next goal. They didn't take long to synthesize an antidote in the form of a vaccine, a bluish liquid that was taken once a month and removed any obstacle between the human and his desire.
Humanity was facing an unprecedented revolution. Soon new subjects began to be taught in schools whose emphasis was mainly on pampering and caring for thoughts..
But there were not only changes in the educational field, the medical world with all the weight of its tradition and a firm and continuous effort to save diseased organisms, also suffered a terrible seizure. Centered on the body, their dogmas are out of date. Ahora, every human being was able to heal himself, everyone accepted the rule of mind over matter and what is it but the body?, matter and pure matter, nothing else.
The outlook was promising. The whole of humanity vibrating at magnificent levels, healthy to the point of being able to reach eternity within the same body, being able to experience and feel everything they want, enjoying the satisfaction of dreams come true, saying goodbye to frustration, poverty and disease. Perfect relationships, perfect bodies and abundant lives.
But the magical bluish liquid was not as fabulous as everyone thought. There was a determining factor that they had not taken into account. An element of the equation without which the result of that formula for happiness, it was fateful. Achieve everything that was desired always and at all times, was leading humanity towards disenchantment and apathy, despair was maximum and the threat of turning the existence of the human being into a macabre vicious cycle of premature births and deaths, more and more real. The suicide rate was growing exponentially at a dizzying rate in a society in which everyone always got what they wanted.
Would I suppose I had found the secret of happiness, the end of humanity? Would this magical blue liquid be responsible for such a hecatomb?
Scientists made a desperate appeal and warned of the dangers that the blue formula contained, annulled the belief of not deserving, but it also nullified the illusion. It was necessary to continue fighting to achieve dreams without using shortcuts. Now they knew that true satisfaction was not in the goal achieved, but on the road traveled to reach it, in the small goals achieved and in the excitement of uncertainty.
