The recent petrol price hike is
actually a good thing. I think the hidden motive of our Government behind the
constant and big hikes in the petrol prices is concern for this country's
citizen and their environment. Their ultimate goal is, I believe, world peace.
They want us to eventually stop
consuming petrol altogether thus saving a precious, non-renewable resource.
No vehicles on the roads = no
pollution and no accidents. It will also mean the end of corruption in traffic
policemen since, no traffic means no traffic policemen.
In fact, for want of get-away
vehicles, many crimes won't be committed at all. We will have a nearly crime-free
society.
Without any means of transport, all
produce will have to be sold locally. So the choicest of mangoes will not go
abroad. Prices of all produce, including mangoes, will not rise due to rise in
petrol prices. All produce will be sold at affordable prices.
People will need to walk
everywhere. This will make them healthy. They will not fall ill. Life
expectancy will go up.
People will become rich since they
will save all the money they earlier spent on petrol and high-priced vegetables.
Healthy + Wealthy = Happy.
Some people will become
industrious. They will work towards inventing alternate means of transport that
don't use petrol. Some people will begin studying magic to figure out how Harry
Potter, his school-mates, teachers and the like “apparate” and “disapparate”. Some
others will study science and technology, more specifically Star Trek, to
figure out how Scotty beamed Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock up and down from
various planets. In short, most people will become very busy.
Happy + Busy = Not inclined to
fight and no time to fight.
Walking this path for years on end,
all humans will eventually lose the instinct to fight.
Automatically we shall have world
peace.
So, I vote in favour of consistent
petrol hikes. You should too. After all, don't we all want world peace ?
