This is a fictional story, all events and characters are coincidences, not real life.
“Everyone has a little piece of land on their head, and everyone wants to go to heaven…”
From: Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
I will tell this story in the first person, this story takes place in the near future, where I am a book collector, yes, I collect books from the last century, books from the twentieth century. Books written by authors who were special, men who understood human nature much better than she is understood today.men.writers who managed to express this perception of nature and the life it contains.be it human, animal or the flora , by words written in their books.
Before machines and A.I.intelligence artificial, take over all domains of human life. With its omnipresence in human government. There were other types of natural perceptions and humans were different than they are today. And I believe that sometimes animals like rats were used to help humans in the study of their development as men, also in the development of their health, as guinea pigs in laboratories, allowing to evolve in medicines so necessary for the extension and improvement of life and also in the study of many human behaviors that have in animals an unparalleled example of organized survival. Nowadays, we use technology in the global sphere of human life. We call the doctor via videoconference, the police, we work remotely. We read electronic books. We asked the AI opinion, and we know that we are under surveillance on a daily basis. But we share a dividend large enough to sustain life and all of its evolution for centuries past. that dividend is the unconditional basic income. I must be one of those human beings who are still very resilient and conservative in relation to things from the last century, and that’s what made me bring this subject up when man emphasized nature. Especially in the last century And his skill with words made him worthy of leaving his testimony in writing. So from that time until today it can be understood. In the current form of government.
When an unconditional basic income was approved, There are some years .A dividend in the name of the evolution that was felt until then. Perhaps because of changes that happened visibly in nature. So many creatures large and small, and all forms of life, existent on the Earth, all resultant of self-resilience and the ability to survive in situations more adverse, felt part of the big everything. The big plan. From the creator government of all, the government of both mice and men.
Because we all depend on each other in the natural chain of life to survive, and sometimes men feel a little like mice and mice like men. Moreover, the great example of nature and animals in their organization of survival and form of resistance in both the physical and social world was used.
Rats live on other men’s lands, not alone in their land. The earth belongs to men. That is true. Rats live in other people’s houses and on other people’s farms. However, also, men live in other people’s houses and work on other people’s farms. When they don’t have their own home, or their own land, but they have to live anyway.
Men have cats to protect their home and to hunt the rats. Cats hunt them, and rats are often killed in traps set by men. They are too small to discuss human decisions and do not have neither time nor reflex to defend themselves against cats because they are accustomed to their routines and habits homemade. But their sovereignty exists side by side with that of men from century to century. Both mice and men, are sovereigns. Both live sovereign lives throughout the centuries. Both , live and share their homes in sovereignty over time.
Anyway, men sometimes feel like rats, in the sense that they live homeless . Homeless always depend on others, and other people’s lands. And other people’s farms.
Always stepping on foreign land anyway, but always with a little piece of land in the head and a will to go to heaven someday!
We have To establish a bridge with the past, a connection, and look for an open window that somebody left for us. For an understanding of why those people. Writers and scholars with great human understanding sympathize with questions like this. So I went to my living room and picked up this old book by a 20th-century author. About mice and men. Written by John Steinbeck. And I Just realize now why the ways of men of that time and the influence of nature had so much in common and so much to teach us!
Men are rewarded with money or with another form of compensatory government as a chunk of land that they consider their own . This includes those who have to live in the open air or in sovereignty. Everyone wanted their place in heaven.
There is a better understanding of nature and the nature of men in this way of living.
Before and after the revolution. Before and after the machines took over the government. Both the lesser life that lives sovereign and men who are giants that don’t care if you are small and will step on you.
They used to accept that a man does not necessarily have to own his land to have a dividend of what belongs to everyone.
Of course, no man is a mouse. nor is any mouse a man !
However. I think it was good .it made me feel good to remember the words of one of the best authors of the 20th century .to perceive the extent to which we are influenced by words written by someone who already lived his time and who certainly left us his work for us to have a better perception of human nature and the organization of animal survival. But anyway, it makes sense at this point in time. And I am glad its finally becoming reality little by little. In fact, everyone has a little piece of land on their mind and certainly wants to go to heaven. Regardless of their creed, religion, political party, color or gender. Whether one is self-sufficient. A farmer or not a farmer. Whether one is a man or a giant.
