History for the Future...

The year is 7013 AD. That's 7000 years after Christ walked the planet.
We live in a society which has evolved into a much more peaceful society, we have taken special steps to make sure we don't repeat the great war which took place 5000 years ago. We live in a single global entity with no concept of what was called a "country" before the great war.
Not much is known from before that time (before around 2000 AD) since most of the historical evidence was destroyed in the great war.
However, recent discoveries have shown some interesting facts. Just last week, I read a news article that we humans have not been alone through history.
An archaeological discovery made in the Asian continent has revealed a collection of recorded journals. These journals were discovered at the bottom of a lake which was apparently a city back then.
The journals have records of an alternate species which lived along side humans 5000 years ago. These were supposed to be violent people who killed humans and consumed their blood. They were called Vampires. However, there was one noble family among these who were against killing humans.
The entire history has been recorded in a 4 journal record called "Twilight". (Curious name for a historical record, isn't it?)
There have been other finds across the world which give records of Vampires on similar lines.
Wow... must have been a scary world to live in back then... isn't it.

Anyways, good thing is they don't exist now. After all, good always wins over the bad... doesn't it.
That's what I have been taught all my life. Infact, that was the exact subject taught in the shrine last Sunday.
Every Sunday, we go as a family to the Shrine of St. Harry. He is said to be the 43rd Incarnaction who walked this planet around the same time - 5000 years ago. His life and story are chronicled in 7 volumes representing 7 years of his life. The scriptures of the life of St. Harry have been found all across the globe indicating that St. Harry had a great influence when he was incarnated on this planet.
Interestingly, those scriptures talk about a lot of things as if they were magic, but in today's world, they are common technology.

Ok... I guess that's enough fiction for one day...

Now, lets come to present world... back in 2013 AD, Bangalore is still traffic jammed, I still need to make it to office by 8 in the morning...

I know this is the most sensitive topic to touch... but lets face it... Nobody knows for a fact what the world looked like 5000 years ago. Nobody has met the person who wrote these scriptures...
Please don't get me wrong, don't think I'm sacrilegious, but for all we know, what we consider as scriptures today could very well be novels written back then.
The same way, 5000 years from today, someone could think Harry Potter was a God and Vampires actually walked the planet.

Two Big Questions:
Question 1.
Why do we have to keep fighting over which religion is superior? Why not just take the learnings from these scriptures and use them for our growth???
After all, won't it be ridiculous if, 5000 years from today, you saw people fighting about whether Harry Potter was better or Edward Cullen was better... Imagine people having riots over this...

Question 2.
If we are going to leave our footprints all over the history of this planet, why not leave good foot prints. With the kind of movies, songs, corrupted content over the internet, what kind of knowledge are we creating for the future generations.

I know I have a crazy imagination and very few people might be able to appreciate what I'm trying to communicate. But, I really wish you could see things the way I do...
