Chapter 2 - About Wise and Errant...

Nobody knows for sure how we came to this world. Some say that we are the result of the creation of a superior being who commands everything and others prefer to say in a poetic way that "we emerged from the dust of the stars"... but everything we knew about it changed that day ...

First, let's contextualize the situation. There is a humanity, that humanity is currently staying in a big blue hotel called Terra.

Due to the vast time in which humanity resides on earth, they have already managed to develop until they reach their peak.

All kinds of problems that they had or would have had been solved. All war, famine, natural disasters, ethical and moral dilemmas that surrounded us were resolved.

But there was still a little problem that to heal...

In this humanity that had emerged there were two types of people: the wise and the wandering ...

Wise men, as the name implies, are wise people. As they spend the whole day meditating they think they have already arrived at the final answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything else... and oddly enough the answer was not 42.

The answer they found was, ironically, to stop looking for answers. Basically, our human sense makes us want to look for meaning in everything and give things a purpose even though they have no purpose ... so, life was just a great indifference to the universe.

The sages knew that the fact that their life existed, as well as that of mankind, was irrelevant to the universe because, whether it existed or not, it would not make any difference in this "larger context".

Soon the sages were very nihilistic people, and they regretted having discovered the truth of everything. They also found ignorance a blessing because ordinary people didn't have to worry about this kind of problem. In other words, the Sages wanted to be Errant.

The Wanderers were the opposite of the Wise, they were the majority of the population on the planet and only lived their daily lives.

The Wanderers sought knowledge, because they thought that with knowledge they would become better and closer people to the universe.

But unlike the Sages, the Wanderers did not have as much time to reflect on the life they had, as they spent more time living life than properly thinking about it.

In other words, the Wanderers sought to be Wise...

And for a long time the world stayed in that discussion. It was so long that the Dead Sea became the Risen Sea, and then the Dead Sea again.

It turns out that due to this problem, humanity could not go any further. This was the only difficulty that humanity could not overcome, even though it spent a lot of time struggling about it.

And look, they debated a lot, they even created programs on TV where live debates were held 24 hours a day (like the cattle auction or those programs that sell countless useless household appliances).

It was then that a force majeure decided to intervene in the situation and resolve this problem once and for all. Yes, God in person (or rather, in divinity) will decide to descend from heaven and speak to humanity.

A global surprise hits humanity. Those who believed in the Apocalypse start to go out in the streets shouting: "I told you, I told you, I told you".

Everyone was traveling to where God was, everyone wanted to witness this magnificent moment.

It was then that God communicated that he had come down from heaven to help solve humanity's last problem, that he would listen to both sides of the debate and make his decision in the end ...

So it was done, each side was divided and then they started to defend their side ...

Too much time... too much time.

And God will listen calmly to both sides for all this time.

At the end of the defense on both sides, there was a great pause, God carefully took a book out of his clothes and began to examine it...

It was then that God finally spoke:

"So guys, I think I discovered the problem, at the time I was creating humanity I think I ended up spilling too much dissatisfaction in the recipe... It was bad there, I will solve it"

Then God raised his left arm and a great light appeared. Suddenly everything was gone.

God went to the heavenly kitchen, it was time to do it all over again...
