Robot

About a month ago, I chose "Robot" as the topic for my process essay in writing class. 
You know it's kind of impossible for me to write all of these stuffs without helps from other people.
Actually, I was inspired by my favorite lecturer Mas Yudhi (IYS)'s notes on facebook, then I got some help to write the outline from Kak Mbe. And finally Miss Thera, my second favorite lecturer gave me some corrections to improve it.
So....................This is it!

How to Become a Robot in Four Days

Getting into an age of sophisticated technological developments, we, humans, are worried about our own existence every so often. We sometimes imagine that someday this world will be manipulated and ruled by robots. Most likely, it is all because we know that robots can work better than us, and they certainly never whine about their jobs. Moreover, they never get exhausted or sleepy while doing their tasks. On one hand, we appreciate their performance since they facilitate us with their definite capabilities, so we can save more energy and time to do something else, but the existence of robots sometimes makes us anxious that robots can put an end to human civilization. However, in point of fact, the strongest rival that must be faced by humans is our own self. It has been an open secret that, nowadays, humans’ morality is fading away. We, humans, are only concerned about activity that can give us particular advantages. Even some people admit that they do crimes because they have to satisfy their daily needs. It is clear that we no longer pay any attention to help others. As a result, all we do is work, work, and work without realizing that it can make us become robots. In brief, it is easy for us to be a robot since we already have the characteristics of a robot. If you want to become a robot in four days, you might want to follow these four steps.

If you want to be a robot, on the first day, do not interact with other people. As a robot, you have to know that emotion is the only one body part that a robot cannot have. It is also the primary body part that makes robots and humans are poles apart in general. However, there is no use in thinking that not having emotional feelings will make us inferior to those who own ones. It is extremely obvious that, as we can see, creatures with emotional feelings will feel depressed or even cry over unimportant issues just because other people hurt their feelings, and we know that it is a waste of time. However, if we are forced to interact with humans, for example to make a study group in class, make sure that we do not say nonsense phrases such as “Please”, “Thank you”, and “I am sorry”. It is because those twaddle words contain certain feelings to appreciate or to respect others. For a second time, you have to remember that robots are already perfect as an individual and able to do any task alone. That is why interacting with humans is such a waste of time.

On the next day, do nothing, but follow the system. After doing the first step, it is clear that robots will never have any friends. Therefore, if we, robots, are still students, do not think of other activities, except study hard, graduate in time, and find a job. Also, for the reason that we live in this money-hungry world, we have to find a job that can give us a lot of money. Moreover, it is pointless to join an extracurricular or organization because, eventhough those activities go along with our hobbies, it cannot give us money. In addition, we do not need to find a job according to our passion. It does not matter whether we love our job or not. The most important thing is that we can fulfill our daily needs. If we get a job that we dislike, do not quit. Keep going to work every morning and get the salary by the end of the month. We do not need to fight against anything, not even against some issues that we do not agree with. All we have to do is get everything done like a clock work because it is the regular system that has been constructed and accepted by society since a long time ago.

On the third day, put it in mind that happiness is not necessary. Based on the fact that we no longer have any emotional feeling, and we just live by following the system since the first two days, it is clear enough that happiness will not even be counted in our life goals list. Typically, in their lives, humans will do some efforts to find a partner or a dream job that can make them happy. However, we do not need to do that because, deep in our hearts, as a robot, we do not care if we are happy or not. What matters the most is whether or not we have accomplished our job based on the program or the system that has been set up.

On the last day, erase all memories about your past. Usually, humans can work better after learning from their past mistakes. However, since on the first day robots’ emotional feelings will have already died, instantly, we, robots, cannot feel whether our memory will give us pleasure or the other way round. That is why there is no such thing as nostalgia in robots’ dictionary. Additionally, we do not have to know our historical background because we cannot differentiate which one is right and which one is wrong. Briefly, our past is so worthless that we have to erase it.

In the end, we know that, at all times, humans cannot think clearly about what actually happens in their lives. They are more concerned about something which has not happened yet. It is so ironic as well to see how humans are afraid that they will be defeated by technology or robots, when, actually, the biggest enemy they have to fight against is their own selves. Unconsciously, day after day, they have become different individuals because of their own ignorance and denial. In short, if you have stopped interacting with others, have lived by merely following the system, have believed that happiness is not essential, and have removed all memories about your past, then you have successfully become a robot, which is the real rival you should worry about.
