Oakland careers churn out emotionless personal dispositions
On the occasion of their wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Jones called me for dinner to make celebrations. I don’t know how but this supper would be a memorable one to me. It was an ordinary dinner anyone would have with his neighbor. Home made grub, extra- clean house and a cheerful family, a family with three sons. Yes, three sons whose versatile professions made me go out of the box. Just as I sat down on the dining table, I just saw them and passed a smile, but to my astonishment, none of them reacted. This gave me a feeling as if I am sitting in front of three Robots, three emotionless Robots. Then Mr. Jones introduced me to his three sons, none other than , the three emotionless robots. Just to reciprocate, I asked Mr. Jones about his sons’ professions.Now the thing that I am still unable to decipher is that, the moment he told me about their careers, my head hassled up with a thought, totally encouraged by those stiff actions of three, that was completely weird. The first son was introduced as one of the Oakland Plumbers !Seeing him gave me an instant thought that his work was not to repair seeping taps but to collate and set the tides of dumb thoughts jutting out of the head, similar to the molecules of H2O, I mean the molecules of water and put them back into the head so that they don’t flow like liquid. His second son, an Oakland Electricians , looked so still and expressionless that it gave me a feeling as if he is the criminal who has spoiled the wiring of minds of his two brothers with his various tools such as conduit benders, pliers, wire strippers, drills, ohmmeters, voltmeters, oscilloscopes. An illustration formed in my head the way he must have opened brain, wired it and then plugged it back. Wow! Then comes the last but not least, his third son, one of those most popular Oakland Roofers who show brilliance of work through their work. But I pondered how could this expressionless robot make those eye catchy art works on top of the roof. To me it seemed as if he could only fix the roof of brains and make them silent to the emotions and all, like his. Possibly, it’s the sentiment that makes the machine being known as HUMANS….
