Dystopia 「絶望」

Here comes Roger Wilco Jr,Sr,XP (now vista compatible), Phd, MD, Bsc (Hons), etc., again! Today we discuss about Dystopia, which according to a dictionary is defined as "a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding."

Roger Wilco Jr,Sr..(etc) disagrees however, because he thinks that dystopia comes from the word "despair"! And what does this means? This means that despair can create an environment, or an imaginary world, in which everything perceived by the imaginer (sp?) appears to be characterized by MISERY AND LACK OF HOPE. It is written in chinese as "jue wang" and in japanese as "zetsubou". The kanji are the same.

Such onset of dystopia can be a direct result of mental trauma, such as that of an exam that is exceedingly difficult and destroys all hope a student has, or a self-induced disease in which the imaginer (sp?) carves a world of complete darkness and devoid of happiness and somehow casts himself into the world, believing it to be real.

The author of this blog has been affected by the former, and thus Roger Wilco is here once again to take over the annoyance of updating a blog. Here comes the usual interview style, over a supposed telephone line:

Roger Wilco: Is everything alright there, owner?
Owner: Yes I think.. it looks dark around me and.. (trails off)
Roger Wilco: Was the exam really that ownage?
Owner: No, not really.. maybe a D grade or .. (trails off again)
Roger Wilco: Are you sure your okay?!
Owner: (Lots of static and finished with a beep)

As you can see, Roger Wilco is unable to deduce any form of happiness emanating from our author, and it is thus concluded that he has entered Dystopia! Now for our next update, we wait to see whether he will come out of Dystopia unchanged, changed for the better, changed for the worse, or will he come out at all.
