The Goodness Vaccine
Sıla VARDİN
Considering the recent events , the only thing that will make most people ’ s dreams come true is to produce a special vaccine that will give everyone the ability and sensitivity to think about the well-being of other people : The Goodness Vaccine .
Thus , people can abandon harmful behaviours that they cannot let go . Even harmful addictions , violence , bullying , environmental pollution , odious wars and human losses can be prevented .
Imagine that no one is keeping the emergency lines busy for fun , or that people can stay away from sick friendships to avoid spreading infectious diseases .
Wouldn ’ t it change a lot in our lives ? Maybe we would save water , we would even plant trees . We would not set fire to the forests to build hotels , nor would leave our pets alone in those forests . As we did not use violence to animals , we would not compete to buy the rarest . Instead of giving millions to a vase , we would feed the hungry people and we would not even silence those who were defending someone ’ s rights , and we would not tolerate injustice . We would not exclude people who needed a psychologist , we would fight addiction hand in hand .
We believed in science ; we would not ignore the rules . We would not be stingy about materials ; maybe we would not cut the main columns of our homes to make an “ elite ” market selling products soaked in bleach looking even more attractive . Half of the time we allocated too much time to take a good photo , we would now prepare our earthquake bags and learn the closest gathering point to our house while on the internet . Who knows , we would greet our neighbour and hug an old friend without worrying about his social status .
We probably need to supplement The Goodness Vaccine with Anti-ignorance pills , but at least future generations will not need treatment .
