Part Two of Story Time with The Adult in Question

Have I kept you waiting long enough? Are you dying to read some more of my story?
I hope so... so here it is, the next installment of Rains of Existence.

It was the perfect plan until. . .
"Life is a gift and people take it for granted" he told her. "Everyone is so wrapped up in chaos and how they can get ahead in life no one ever gives a damn about anyone. It's not even youth anymore, its adults, children and people my age. Children used to have such beautiful innocence until all of this, this corruption, this demonic presence that has entered every human being and turned them into relentless money making machines."
Glynnis was intrigued by this man's ravings and wanted to know more because she was beginning to think that he had a point. "What do you mean by demonic presence and machines?" she inquired.
"Well before all this technology we used to just accept one another for whom they are and what they had to offer society but now parents want to 'engineer' their babies in hope of making them better and they want their elderly to be cloned so that life will be easier for all of them." It's never going to be 'easier' or 'better' because new problems will just arise. There is never a final solution only a temporary one allowing for new disasters to enter our realm. If we continue to change and modify what is right here in front of us, how will we ever know what is real and what is not? Life has a natural cycle and these hoodlums known as scientists are destroying it with their advancements, life and human beings are being treated as machines and systems not for what they really are."
"So, if we are not machines and systems that what are we, what is our purpose?"
This was Glynnis's question; she wanted to know what James could possibly say to this.

Stay tuned to find out what happens.

Ah, isn't that the way of it, all the previous generations see their childhoods as perfect and the next generation as depraved.

James should take a closer look at the past; accepted slavery, no child protection laws, plagues, no cancer treatment what-so-ever...

Glynnis should point out that machines have at least given us more voice, awareness, a way to fight against the unjustices in the world. That the scientists aren't all bad guys, they are helping sick children to have a chance at life, finding ways to feed drought stricken countries with crops that can grow in poor soil.

A good story, gets the thought processes going! :-)
