The thing that changed human history Part 1
Once upon time in a land far far away there lived a boy.
Well you may think I'm going to tell u a fairytale and it may sound like a fairytale but I'm gonna
tell you a story about myself. Ever since I was a 5th grade student, I have learnt that there are
three basic human needs for survival; food, place to live and clothes. We were taught that the
notion of satisfying these needs will eventually lead a good and satisfying lifestyle for a human
being. But there is another necessity, another minor fundamental that composites a major role
that everybody forgot to mention. Another human need that changed the human destiny.
Entertainment. Even before civilization, from the times of the stone age, entertainment has
existed as a basic human need. Historians call it Prehistoric art , this includes concepts from
cave paintings, prehistoric music to prehistoric dancing. Believe me ladies and gentlemen these
things existed 40,000 years ago, even before the mention of clothes and maybe even before the
mention of shelter and places to live.We, as humankind, has a basic craving that pertains to the
core most primitive aspects of our psyche. To be entertained. This phenomenon that we call
entertainment has influenced us in ways we cannot fathom, from the beginning of time. The
concept of the necessity of entertainment is often ignored or concealed. The more the attempt at
concealing this phenomenon the more curious we get as to why this crucial component is
treated with ignorance.
Everybody believes in some kind of religion. It is a widely believed concept that religion has the
means to change us. The effects of the absence of religion could have the possibility of
expanding indefinite destinies for the human kind. Could it be due to religion that we are no
longer barbarians? Or that we do not possess the capacity of supreme beings who can travel
through intergalactic dimensions? Did the religion we believe in change our destiny?
