One day I'll grow wings,
So big and strong.
Not fragile, not weak
Like my shattered soul.

One day I'll grow wings and stand tall,
And I wont give up, wont fall.
As the astronaut reaches it's Moon,
I'll be there waiting for you.

One day I'll grow wings and die,
A destiny that is meant for us all.
How dare you? How dare you take away your future including ours for a temporary satisfaction? How dare you let us ruin ourselves without taking action against it? How dare you ruin only thing we have left?
 
How dare you?
 
Technology
The mass extinction of life.
 
Technology is not an advancement to humanity, it is the death of us. Most people don’t even realize they’re in a trap because the trap is comfortable.
 
Now as the technology advanced we became more overstimulated because of overconsumption which made our dopamine levels fall. I believe technology should be restricted and controlled. We as humans want to achieve so much like traveling to mars, explore the space and get AI to work instead of us. The mass downfall of human race and extreme laziness is becoming a concerning thing that we won’t acknowledge or do anything about it since technology is the "future" but is it? It will only ruin our capability and planet. As technology advances our bodies become weaker. Which ruins our future. We could survive the ice age because our bodies could adapt, we weren't lazy. Now as technology ruins our planet we will ruin our ecosystem and everything including ourselves. If technology continues to advance without restrictions rapidly, it will be the end of us. Planet as usually won’t find a way to protect us like it could in the past because the technological advances are rapid and extreme.
Technology is not evolution, its self-destruction disguised as progress.
Tech has made us overstimulated and dopamine deprived. Our bodies are collapsing and we act like its progress.
·      Decline in physical resilience
·      Collapse of mental strength
·      Skyrocketing dopamine crashes
·      Global distraction while the Earth burns
 
Technology is the downfall of humanity and the whole ecosystem including the extreme fall and rapid death of humans and other animals. If a WW3 breaks out, our extreme advanced technology will wipe out the whole Earth. Government is not calculated and strategic as we think. We will die. They rely on emotions more than they do on logic. Because if they didn't rely on emotions but relied on logic they would drill oils for money a.k.a. temporary pleasure. They would chose a stable future for them and future generations. Instead they exchange the whole future for a temporary satisfaction. But at what cost?
Tech isn’t just evolving, it’s accelerating beyond human control.
 
People won’t take action since we want instant changes and such damage to us and Earth is impossible to achieve until decades of action to save the humanity. We need to rewire the human brain, restrict so much, and do so much work and it will take extremely long time to reverse such damage. OR either they will think "nah it'll take too long what’s the point?"
 
Mars, AI, space travel, great dreams. But at what cost?
We dream big, yet can’t handle small things like:
 
·      saving the oceans,
·      dealing with plastic,
·      preserving natural species,
·      making people mentally healthy.
 
It's ironic: we want to build a future while burning the foundation we’re standing on.
 
In the past, Earth had time to recover. Ice ages were slow. Natural changes were gradual. But tech is fast. We’re accelerating the destruction, and Earth doesn’t have the time to counterbalance this anymore.
 
Climate change, mass extinction, pollution; the speed of tech outpaces nature’s healing.
 
So What Can Be Done?
Restrict overuse of AI and tech that steals attention and labour. Rebuild strong local communities rooted in purpose and discipline. Educate people early about dopamine, mental health, and overconsumption. Promote physical and mental resilience over comfort. Reclaim sovereignty from algorithms and automation.
 
We have built weapons and AI systems so powerful that war no longer means battlefield strategy, it means global extinction in minutes.
Governments are stockpiling nuclear, biological, cyber, and AI-driven weapons… And yet, they act emotionally, impulsively, and politically, not strategically.
 
Nature is screaming, but no one is listening.
 
Even though this chapter criticizes Technology and AI that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it. It indeed has a lot of benefits to humanity, but only if it’s used wisely and rightfully. The danger lies not in the tool itself, but in how we choose to wield it.
Technology is like a blade. It can be used to cut down disease, ignorance, and distance, or to cut down forests, truth, and human connection.
Artificial Intelligence can help us detect cancer early, but it can also write fake news and manipulate elections.
It can translate languages yet erase cultures.
It can help someone learn, or make someone stop thinking altogether.
What was supposed to help us evolve now keeps us weak.
What was designed to give us time now steals it.
People scroll instead of speak. They stare at blue light instead of sunlight.
Technology didn’t just change our behaviour, it rewired our brains.
We were promised freedom, but got dependency.
AI is developing faster than laws.
Children are exposed to things their brains can’t understand.
Deep fakes destroy trust in reality.
It’s all up to us now.
No one is coming to save us, we need to save ourselves. Stop with the false hope. Take the action now and watch the world change. One spark and it can start a fire.
 
Remove a person’s phone and they panic.
Remove electricity and society collapses.
Remove the internet and the world falls into silence.
This isn’t advancement; this is vulnerability.
 
Humans were never supposed to live like this.
 
We don’t need to stop using AI, we need to start using our brains again.
We don’t need to destroy technology, but we need to stop letting it destroy us.
If we don’t build discipline, laws, and moral awareness now,
Will there even be a future left to save?
Drowning in the ocean just to feel your skin,
Even though deep down i know you lust me.
Love is blind,
So I'd rather stay and live in a lie.
And the hot sand burns my feet,
I don't want to change you, i just want to love you.

Your beautiful eyes that i want to look at,
Your hair that i want to touch.
The sun makes me sweat,
Would it be okay to get your permission to feel your warmth?
Your flaws make me love more and more.
Even when i feel like you don't care anymore.

I swear im not evil,
I just want to feel you.
Skin to skin, lips to lips.
My only wish for this life.
The morning after I end it all,
Everything will be so peaceful, so calm.
Sun rays will hit the Earth like they never did,
No more boys calling me mid.

The morning after I end it all,
It will be nothing but love.
Spreading my wings as I reach the sky,
It will be an infinity of peaceful life.
Maybe not this one, but next one,
Because peace, I got none.
In the Danube’s endless flow,
Beneath the dark sky’s gentle glow,
A little dove soars high above,
Carrying whispers of a love unknown.
There’s a secret only the wind bestows,
Where beauty ascends to meet its god,
A hidden place where the heart unknows,
Yet longs to rest, though paths are flawed.

Listen, dear child, spread your wings,
No hands will break them, nor silence your song.
But tread with care, for shadows creep,
And predators prowl where trust belongs.

You won’t be lost, nor walk alone,
For somewhere waits a place called home.
In the stillness, a soldier lies,
Dreams of battles, now faded skies.
A uniformed figure, once full of grace,
Now gone, lost to a forgotten place.

Tears fall like raindrops, cold and clear,
A mother's love, lost in fear.
She holds the memory, a fleeting spark,
Of a child who dreamed beneath the dark.

Fallen soldiers, silent and still,
The world moves on, against their will.
But in the dreams of those left behind,
The echoes of war will never unwind.
I met my younger self for dinner today,
Her pupils were large and dilated,
She felt that she will never be sober again.
I noticed that she carried something with her,
It was substance just in case her high goes away.
I ordered some Caesar salad,
She couldn't think about food,
Because she would purge.
Then she spoke:
"Are my scars visible"
I couldn't reply,
I didn't want to make her feel bad.
And again she spoke:
"Are we finally sober?"
"Of course we are!"
-I replied.
If she only knew we have so much goals ahead of our life.
