Recreating Paradise

Can one live without accumulating money, possessing relationship and following a religion. How will life be without any of them and what will be the purpose of living if one cannot accumulate wealth, build relations and have a religion to follow, living like equals without being recognized for any achievements. All our life we lived generating wealth, thriving for even more, entwined with relations of our own, since birth, developing more through marriage, having children. We remain eye-centric towards elevating our own, ignoring and eliminating those who rightly deserve, one who could uplift our life and society. We feel proud of our religion ridiculing those of others and agitate violently even if a meager deviation is observed among those religious rules created several years ago, fearing loss of self esteem and wrath of our God. Entrapped at an alien planet astronaut Andrews, Nancy and Ben finds themselves in a planet where people live a life free from wealth, relationship and religion, and all necessities and desires are available for free just like paradise where anything is available at a beacon and none accumulates wealth nor they need to maintain a relationship, living happily without any worry or anxiety. Yet these three astronauts find life too boring and purposeless, yearning to return back to their planet where recognition and applaud waits alluringly. Although, they always prayed to acquire paradise after death where such a life is imaged by all, but none there could break free from the pain and sufferings to get inside this heavenly place leaving all worries behind, rather, with an intention of revenge on those who have inflicted the fiercest blow they relentlessly tries to return back at their own planet. Bewildered to find a life free from wealth, relation and religion each felt life there at the alien planet lacks excitement and purpose. Delving deep to find out the root cause of such harmony and peace they discovered astonishing facts which boggled their mind, finding it to be so easy to follow at their planet as well, but simultaneously it seemed weird to all three of them and difficult to adopt by the people at their own planet even after observing the happiness and harmony among the people at the alien planet. Unable to justify why they feel that their way of living weird, each experiences the way with awe finding them similar to the way they heard as it is in paradise. Replicating paradise seemed so easy and within human ability, appeared before them as they explored further into the life of those alien humans at the planet. Although, life at their own planet was never at peace for these three astronauts, instead it was tumultuous all along, a mixture of success, failures, bliss and heartburns. Racing towards gaining happiness each gained equivalent anxieties resulting further desire to acquire some other form of happiness and mental peace for the anxieties gained already. Such aspiration made them tread the unknown into the darkness of the space to meet with what seems to them an uncertain future.
