Myths from the Future

Myths, for as long as we have known it, have always been a thing from the past. So ‘Myths from the Future’ is a rather intriguing but interesting concept. What does it really mean?

Myths from the future are basically thoughts and ideas that you conceive in the present day that could become a reality in the future. They are wishful ideas of responsible and forward-thinking citizens of the world for a better future. Why a ‘myth’ then? These ideas may or may not become a reality in the future. They may or may not be relevant at those times. One can’t say.

But the idea is you can envision a future, say 25 years ahead of now, the way you’d ideally like it to be. And keeping that vision in mind, you sort of back track by 25 years so you start doing what it takes to get there from now. These myths could be about anything – say environment, technology, medicine, science, politics or may be even about how a society should function.

I think this idea is an excellent concept towards the betterment of our world. Currently there are so many problems and life threatening issues that we are plagued by. Although several efforts are being made towards a better tomorrow, they still are largely disparate efforts. The only major consolidated effort so far has been to tackle global warming and climate change as one world, one earth. This concept, in my opinion, will give a direction to the efforts in the sense that you know the tangible result you want to achieve by the end of a certain time period. So your effort will be more focused, organized and hopefully fruitful.

I may be wrong about this or I may actually be right. But ‘Myths from the Future’ is a concept definitely worth a try.
