The end of magic.

A long time ago some people decided they would make a magical land. They made laws that would make sure the magic never left. Some people did not have much magic at first. Over the years some laws where made and even a war fought to give more people magic. Most people had a lot of magic and used it to be happy. A few bad people used their magic to hurt others and more laws where made to try and stop that. After awhile the laws and rules where so many and so messy that people started to lose their magic. Some people started using their magic to take magic away from people they did not like. Others decided that some people who had worked hard for their magic had too much and treated everyone with a lot of magic as a bad person. They started sending police to take the magic from some people and giving it to others. This magic then given to people who did not have much magic. The worst part though is that those with little magic where not told to work hard and get more of their own they would told they could always have the magic that was being taken from others. After awhile there where so many people being given magic and so few people making their own that the government decided to take away all the magic and just give people some of the things they would use the magic to get. This process took an entire life time, people kept saying that there was about as much magic as a few years ago. Slowly there was less and less magic and more and more people teaching that magic was bad and that only evil people wanted it. The king would give you everything that the magic would. The king did give people food and clothes, but that did not make them happy. But happiness came from making and using magic not from the tings magic got for people. Some people who believed in magic where put in jail or killed. In school everyone was told that magic was evil and only wanted by bad people. After many years a little at a time the magic was all gone. Everyone had enough to eat and a place to live, but no one had magic any more.


The magic was replaced by a fake magic that never really worked but it looked cool to those who did not look at it too closely.

Now fairness has replaced magic. It has changed many things I’ll share a few of them with you.

Back than 2 people who love each other got married and had children. They would make sacrifices (giving up other things they wanted not killing animals) so their children could have more magic than they did.

Now there is a Manual of Standardized Child Training. Every child is treated the same they are raised by experts who have no emotional attachment to the children or who might fill their heads with ideas of magic.

Back then you could choose a job and change as often as you wished. You could work hard and earn a lot or do little work and have little.

Now you work at your assigned job you may never. How well your boss likes you not how well you do your job impacts how much you can eat.

Back then there were lots of churches. They had a special magic that was not had anywhere else. People could go to any church they like many gave money to the church they liked. The church’s shared their magic with people and helped them to be happy. They would give food to people who were hungry help find a place to live for those with no home.

Now there are only a few churches they get their money from the government and the government makes sure they only teach about fairness and never about magic.

Back than people could trade their magic for things they wanted.

Now the things you need are given to you and you know that wanting anything different is selfish and evil.

Back then a person could use their magic to get things they wanted to eat or wear or play with or just to have it was their magic and they could do what they wanted with it.

Now you have a uniform to wear every day and the food you need provided for you. You have nothing just to have because it is unfair to those who do not have it or if everyone had it, but not everyone wanted it would also be unfair.

Back then we had games that let people try their best and see who won. In some games it helped to be tall some to be short. Others being fast or strong or smart helped the most. There was a lot of magic in those games.

Now it does not matter how smart or tall or strong you are. All games are fare every wins the same number of times

Back then people had books in their homes. They could have the books they liked and read them when they liked. They could talk to others about what they read.

Now all books are kept in the library. All books teach us about fairness and none talk about magic except to tell us how wrong it was.

Back then some people lived for a long time and some people lived a shot time. Some times this happened because of how people used their magic other times it just happened.

Now almost everyone lives for the same time. There still are a few accidents, but now before a person is likely to live too long and become unfair you will all get to participate in your Final Dignity. This insures that you are fair to everyone else.

I will miss the land of magic no amount of pills or therapy or toys will ever make fairness as good as the magic of freedom.
