Why So Serious?
-Heath Ledger
In
The Dark Knight
As
Born in the suburbs of a small overpopulated city of an isolated country far from the impact of the global economy, he is the only son of his poor parents. The mother belongs to the family of peasants and the father was the son of a rich merchant who lost his wealth during his last days because of the excessive addiction of gambling.
Once a boy who has been raised under ’comfort and luxury’ became an orphan after the death of his father. But instead of surrendering himself at the fate of luck or chance, he decided to work hard. He worked day and night but couldn't ever be able to earn so much that he can eat more than two meals of the day.
He fell in love with a girl of his age, got married before he turned sixteen and before they both turned into eighteen became the parents of a newly born baby.
Now this story is not about his parents, but about this boy, who is just five years old. He shares the meals that are not enough for even two people. He drinks the water that is contaminated with an excess of nitrate and arsenic. He goes to a local primary school running at the mercy of funds donated by near to be economically dead richest person of the city.
The government of the state is planning to open a new school at the remote village since this boy came out of the womb of her mother and is most likely to start the project of building the school when his sister who is currently waiting inside her mother to come out after five months will be the age of this boy.
Since, there is going to be a gap between two children, it naturally means either both the parents are well educated and have taken enough precautions to not further populate the already overpopulated city with their choice or its just a matter of luck or chance.
Looking at the face of the boy its impossible to predict whether his future is going to be the same as his parents.
Or
If there is something going to change.
Will he also will end up working hard like his father?
Or
Will end up losing all the money like his grandfather?
Whatever be the case,
One thing is clear
He needs proper meal, not just a sharing meal.
He needs proper drinking water not just water.
He needs proper education, not just education.
What are you thinking?
(Behind the scenes...
Since, the story is fictional, hence you can imagine about the shelter under which he lives with his parents. The cloth he is wearing. The language and culture he is following to spread in the world after being a grown up.
There are too many luxuries he and his yet to be born sister will need in the future...like smartphones and digital watches, tablets and computers.
Will they get that?
What do you think?🤔
Don't doubt your doubt.
It depends on the ’choice of a few chosen ones’ who have the power to transform the lives of ’millions of fictional characters into reality’ by making the ’real use of their fictional digital digits’.
And Don't think too much about creative skills of the writer of the story. She is just increasing her imagination in her free spare time inside the womb of her mother. She has nothing to do with the fictional characters of a fictional city in a fictional world run by fictional people.)
Have a wonderful day!
