Violence Unloaded :: Peace Uploaded

I happened to watch "Matrix Reloaded" with a couple of my friends. I had been taken aback by the out-of-the-world trailers replete with eye-popping stunt sequences and mesmresing special effects (They used to be special earlier,as of now even a kindergarten toddler could come up with a 20-page autopsy of the thematic ensemble, vividly describing the sequences with clinical precision). Well, that's a different ball game. I'm more concerned about disintegrating the entire scenario, shuffling around the pieces & presenting another fantasy which I hope appears understandable yet more effective.

Machines, Programs, Reloading, Mainframes, Cognitive Disillusionment, Matrix...
Add to it Prophecies, Oracle (No DataBase here:)), Destiny, Fate...

A person may find it easier to identify with the second list of jargons when translated to his dialect, since I'm doubtful as to how many languages have made entries in the latest revisions of their colloquial lexicon pertaining to the first list notwithstanding the marauding conquest of a monster called IT whom everyone either loathes or drools over. So, the Beverly Hills guys thought of taking advantage of the "Drooling factor" and decidely agreed upon the age-old formula of Good Vs Evil, David Vs Goliath..., borrowing heavily from the Shaolin Brand of Martial Arts (This seems to be the current bent of the West towards the Oriental IF NOT MARITAL THEN MARTIAL). The bottom-line was Mindless Violence & movies of this ilk seemed to glorify the CRASH-BOOM-BANG saga.

OK, I agree, action sequences, inexplicably GRAVITY-DEFYING choreography adorned with the stylishly garbed hero getting the better of a 100 odd dummies OR rescuing his enamorata with drop-dead panache OR EVEN doing a SURGEON's Job by literally performing a Virtual Pin-HOLE excavation of the bullet with no scalpels, no scissors but BARE HANDS (That'd do surgery proud & Surgeons shameful !!!) & Yes without applying Local Anaesthesia (Myopin at least) makes the adrenalin rush faster, at break-neck speed in most ordinary mortals, including myself, especially when the Sound system ejaculates 16000watts of Digitally pulsating background score. If you wonder as to how I'm boasting of the fashionable Medical terms, then I must make it public that I belong to a family of Doctors...(My Father is a Cardio-Anaesthetic Surgeon). As to the martial arts section, I must ponder a bit before revealing that I hold a Black belt in Kung-fu (manchurian).

So all the while I was thinking if this was possible !!! WHAT ?? One fine day we all wake up to find that we are devoid of VIOLENCE. We can't think of causing harm to anyone, we can't scold, we can't assault and that holds true for all the mortals...What do you think would be in store for us ?

Well, I believe that VIOLENCE abets VIOLENCE. Since, all the individuals w'd have Violence erased from their Genetic Sequences, the very concept of enmity, hatred, bitterness would have become ghosts of the past. The human actions would have got redefined or say, refined. Since, Man w'd no longer think of others in a negative manner, the concept of crime would get obliterated. The next time, one raises his arms, it'd be either to lift a baby up, or to bid someone goodbye or may be to PLUCK A PAIR OF JASMINE FOR HIS SWEETHEART. The concept of weapons would vanish into oblivion. Pistols w'd no longer be used to fire bullets, but the triggers would shower petals and perfumes. Tanks would become the firing compatriot of a Tractor wherein SEEDS/FERTILISERS would be spayed upon the far-reaching farmlands. Missiles would turn into Food/Message carriers in the face of an impending natural calamity providing succour to the needy & deprived, they would no longer burst into flames/pellets, but food packets. Nuclear reactors would be converted to safe-breeding reactors facilitating the generation of power rather than nuclear devices what they used to be earlier. Countries would cease to exist within international boundaries for land will be free of incarceration. People will come together, love will grow, poverty will be thrown into shackles since governments w'd redeem tackling the humanitarian issues in the first place and they'd no longer be bound by the need of war or defence related issues. Peace will manifest throughout the geography of this planet. Humankind will complete a full circle...

Doesn't it sound more realistic than a surreptitious non-entity titled MATRIX ?

"PEACE UPLOADED/VIOLENCE UNLOADED is far better than MATRIX RELOADED"
