Marie-Michelle asked:

Is it possible to ever have a Utopian Society?

Why are we all searching for a Utopian Society?

============

Strictly speaking you can never find or build a Utopian Society: Utopia literally means 'there is no
such place', so to find one or build one would be a contradiction in terms. But that is probably not
what you mean. If you mean is it possible to realize concepts for a better society the answer would
have to be yes and no, depending on your viewpoint. People have tried to put into practice ideas like
for example communism, but the results differed from those expected by the 'believers' in that some
good things failed to materialize and negative aspects failed to be eradicated or entirely new
problems surfaced etc. I guess whether you are hoping that change will be for the better largely
depends on the starting conditions i.e. whether you hope to gain more than you stand to loose. It also
depends on personality — it seems that there usually will be some good the conservative character
(rightly) wants to retain and some good the progressive character (just as rightly) wants to achieve.
Who is right? The only certainty is that as long as there is life there will be change ....
