UTOPIA, A BRIEF MENTION
When Thomas More wrote his book a few centuries ago, he was one of a long line of dreamers. The idea of a perfect society has plagued mankind (and womankind) ever since they realized that the world wasn't always to their liking and could be improved. To some of us a perfect society is one where we can do just as we please without restraint, to others it is one of complete religious harmony - their religion!
Others imagine a world with no social ills and unhappiness. The famous story of the saint given a single wish whose wish was "Without changing my present state, I wish to be the most miserable person in the world" is a comfortable example.
What's your idea of Utopia?
