Logic Men (A MisterShade's Short story)

Part 1

I was six,when I heard the "greatest thing ever",the whole world celebrated it by feasting for days...

My grandma was forbidden to eat sugar and would cunningly trick me into giving her a toffee or two...Now,she is being served all the sweets she wants!

My grandpa was only given juices as I recalled my dad saying that "Grand pa's body hates solids",implying he has grown incapable of digesting them..

Oh yes..I remember that day very well...

That was the day I was anstiest and also the happiest after I saw everyone kick up their heels in delight.

"What's going on?!..."

"My son,you shall never get sick again!!..we now have a cure for every disease know to man kind.."

Little did they know that there was a sickness deadlier than that...

Now the world could be practically  unthreatened from well...everything.So,people existed longer,inhaled more and more air and so on....The population rose extremely high since the discovery of the "cure".Great Minds lived longer,invented newer things for the prosperity of human existence.They rebuilt the world to fit the sky-rocketting population.They were gods...
The saviours of this world..NO.The very creators of this world.They were scientists,mathematicians,doctors,engineers...etc.All noble pursuits. "The Logic Men".

Kids are no longer taught about great legends and noble emperors,they are taught about the rules of this world.The rules on physics,math and science.Teachers,were just programmers programming their script,into the minds of little kids,that this is the real world.Feelings is a lie.Happiness is a lie.You are no better than any of that cattle we butcher on weekends.There is no purpose,no greater good,no meaning in any creatures existence..

He was wrong...

As we grew up,the world started to feel trivial.Everything has a solution.But,I am on an expedition to find if there is another solution,another way to life.

The downfall of the world began almost instantly,I was not the only one to feel so.They unintentionally switched off over feelings forever.We were no better than efficient cyborgs capable of independent thinking.We were allowed to marry,but none of the new world lads could.Seniors lived for longer than a hundred....while every other animal had the same life span as before.We were destructing the planet(and ourselves) faster and faster.People started to realise...something was off...something wasn't right.

"Hey Dad!!..Is it true that none of us are prone to get infected by diseases?"
"haha....Yes!..isn't that great?..."
"That's the reason everyone is smiling ,right now.."
"But,the teachers in my class are always....sad.And I have seen you cry too...yesterday."
His emotions flowed..The scene stirred up something in my heart..
"Well,that was indeed a lie,son....we are still prone to diseases..."He said as he violently brushed of the tear from his offending cheek and continued...

"The people in the world are still prone to......psychological disorders."
