I feel happy today,
An aim to smile every day.
It's a unique ray of hope,
That gives me a new scope.
To do something good,
I misunderstood,
The word happiness.
I thought there was a reason for this smile.
But all this while.
I was wrong to think,
That happiness could shrink.
It was something even more special,
That came from within and was sentimental.
I couldn't possibly want something more,
But to be happier than before.

Technology is nowadays very advanced and provides us with all sorts of facilities. It is up to date and does all the work we can do, if not better. Many robots have also been developed that can do everything we can. They can talk and work the same way we do. On the other hand, this is a big problem and gives rise to unemployment. People are being replaced by machines. In factories, the same work people used to do is now done by machines. We can see this in one great work of literature - Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. Charlie's father used to work in a factory, but soon his work was replaced by a machine. His work was the only source of income for the family, and we see how it affected his family a lot.
Why? Because robots took over their jobs. Also, robots are costly and cannot be afforded by everyone. This creates a more substantial divide between the poor and the rich. The small jobs we used to do ourselves are now being done by robots. This results in laziness and takes away our creativity to think and work. The jobs that look small and effortless mean a lot to the person who does them. That small job that Charlie's father used to do was. Even in our homes, the helpers who used to clean the house are replaced by robots. So many people are suffering because of the invention of robots. Think about those who have no income source to feed their family. Robots cannot feel as we humans do. Teachers have their unique way of teaching with feelings and understanding the student. Doctors have a unique touch with the patient; robots cannot replace these people because they are not as capable as we are. The most significant difference is that we are blessed with feelings so that we can understand each other, feel each other and instil values like empathy and kindness. If robots are replaced by humans, how will the world work? We, humans, were sent on Earth to work and do something good, but when all work is done by robots, then what is the point of us humans living? Why should we make such gadgets that do nothing but harm us?

If our source of life, the Sun, were to disappear, humans would have no way to survive. You might have imagined that day, but what would happen if it happened? Our fate would be sealed. Seriously, what would happen on Earth? We would not notice anything until after eight minutes. There would not be any change in the temperature because our atmosphere and oceans have stored enough heat to last us a few weeks, but after that, things will start to get freezing. The ocean's surface would freeze over in two months, and humans would slowly disappear across the globe. As a result, there would be a lot of human carcasses lying around freely, as no one could bury the bodies properly, and they would rot away.
Let's now talk about what would cause mass disturbances in the solar system. The Earth's tilt would gradually increase because there would be no gravitational pull from the Sun. It would take longer to set it to a fixed tilt again.
The next question will come to us: will Earth stop moving?
The answer is no. Earth would continue to move at its original speed, just not on the path it used to. The planet would drift into interstellar space along with every other planet in our solar system. The entire world would be in a state of panic and worry. But we needn't worry about this happening anytime soon because the Sun cannot disappear and still has a long life to live!
