The Ways Of Mankind


In 2027, after Earth had seen its fair share of wars; a new law was made. “It is a crime to hold high ideals and blindly believe in any notion. You will be exiled from the free world and sent to the colonies on the moon with no allowances made for a book, a pen or the radio.”
They abolished prisons and sent all the criminals to the moon. But a year later cities had begun to emerge on the moon, a city of all the criminals of earth. There was no law or order and no policemen to stop them from committing any crime and criminals lived together doing as they please.
But something unexpected had happened, new think tank organizations had emerged and they began to experiment on crime itself. They researched on crime and found out its true source, “Crime is people revolting against governments who will force them to do whatever they please” and so they banned the existence of power and money. Every man, women and child were equals. Not only did they all share the same rights but nobody suffered from not having their wants fulfilled. The think tanks had found alternatives to crime. People did not get robbed anymore, if someone needed food or shelter it was by law their right to get help from everyone. Havoc and mayhem did not exist anymore. People liked the new system, helping others was rewarded with more kindness. There was no need for money on the moon and all the people cared about were the good virtues of life. Life for them was good.
Then after 10 years when the men of earth scoped through their telescopes to see what had happened to the criminals they sent to the moon; they were confused! Before they had seen what went on, on the moon, they had the idea that all the criminals will have probably destroyed each other and they expected to find nothing but instead they saw cities growing and the criminals living in harmony on the moon. No one was poor and no one had any less than his or her neighbour.
This made the earthlings jealous and now they did not want to live on earth anymore and went to the utopia of the exiles on the moon. They took their markets, money and products for sale for the moon dwellers and corrupted them. The citizens of Moon, who were once criminals, had almost forgotten such things but then they remembered the smell of money and the thrill of committing a crime. And so crime emerged again and people got robbed and shot. The war had started all over again.
