WHAT WILL TOMORROW BRING?

And there it is again, the question of the day.
Unlike the prescient being who knows what will happen, I, as well as those who preceded me, have no notion. We try to think, to reflect, to guess, to hope that tomorrow will be better than today.
I say better than today, because we all know that these days there is nothing reassuring.

The world, seeing the wars around us, the demonstrations for whatever subject, the arguments that people exchange for a yes or a no, we must believe that nothing goes anymore.
And yes, we are all trying to find a solution. But it seems that there is no solution, because if there was one, we would have found it.

All governments, whoever and wherever they are, have not found the answer. And we thought we had voted for intelligent people, at least a little more intelligent than us to solve our problems. Too bad! We were wrong and we realize it coldly.

And to think that many people before me have said so many beautiful things, like: after me the deluge, why think about tomorrow if I won't be here, I'm here today, it doesn't matter where I'll be tomorrow, only today counts etc...
And the authors of these words were philosophers, thinkers, rulers, while I, who am I? What am I? And yet I worry about humanity.

With artificial intelligence, robots will rule the world tomorrow. What use will I be if not to be their slave. Is this a promising future?
Yes, progress and technology have improved our lives in many ways, however, if they have added a few years to my life through today's medicine, what price have we paid for that?

No, I am not and do not wish to be an automaton. I like my little life the way it is. To take pleasure in watching the birds eat the seeds I put in their feeder, to catch a glimpse of that hummingbird that comes to suck the flowers of that cactus in my garden, to see that bee that comes to gently chisel the flowers that this plant has just given. Now, it is a lizard that has just run towards my feet. It stops, does not move, straightens its torso, and seconds later it goes down again and again renews this operation. I try to understand, in vain. He decides to leave me and resume his train.

I do not know how to express all this, except that I feel happy. I am going to go back to my gym tomorrow morning, do some exercises, a little swimming, sauna, shower and become a new man again. This is what artificial intelligence will not give.

So I'm afraid of this unpleasant part that will be the life of tomorrow. While others, maybe more aware than me, less clumsy than me when it comes to technicality, and  will be happy with the extreme modernism, which in my opinion will put emotions aside and will be satisfied with the final result.

 Not being a scientist, I have difficulty in understanding phenomena dealing with science and that is why I ask simple questions with complex answers that leave me stunned. So I leave that to others, contenting myself with what is simple, easy to understand and absorb. This does not make me any more unhappy.

I write all this and I think of this new generation that has not known what I have known. And that's why I feel lucky to have had a pretty good and positive life, to have known good people with whom I shared my feelings. Some of them I helped and others who helped me.

Some may say that the subject I have just dealt with has been thought of by many before me. Yes, but has anyone found a better solution. I confess that I don’t have one either. My duty is to shout loudly to the masses who do not see what is coming, to warn them.
