Ourtown 7....wow. I can't even express how much fun I had. It was the best weekend of my life!!! The love and support I felt and had for and from EVERY person there was unbelievable. Some people say a perfect world would be boring and crap. But what do u define a perfect world? For me, it's ourtown. <3

Would you say that Ourtown was the Eutopia or your state of mind and realization was the Eutopia?
In my opinion there can be no perfect place but rather a perfect state of mind. And the way that can be achieved in a place as harsh as the real world is having the realization that no way can a world exist without ignorance. There will never be a time when everyone is educated in acceptance. Even if you sent the entire world to the camp, there will still be ignorance that exists with things as strong as religion, politics, and minds conditioned to certain beliefs and behaviors.
And when you realize this, you can also learn to accept those who hate people because of their skin color, religion, physical features, etc. I think you should still try and educate those people as to why that kind of hatred is unnecessary and illogical, but some of those people simply won't listen. I feel sorry for those people, because they have been brainwashed to be ignorant, and hateful. So I accept those people while still trying to educate them.
When tolerance and acceptance for each person, even the ignorant, is achieved then you are that much closer to having Euphoria, or perfection.
The overall point here is that the choice for perfection is ultimately yours.
You do it for yourself, the camp wasn't perfection, the camp guided your mind to perfection, but you came to the realization yourself.

You are absolutely right. So let me rephrase that:
"Ourtown is my ideal state of mind."
