Writer's Block: In This Perfect World

Mar 16, 2008 20:26


Some people say that we could be in our last days since the world continues to decline.  Instead of improving the world, many people are deteriorating it quicker.  Evil has triumph over the good.  It's becoming more and more opposite to my idea of a perfect world, which would be an utopian society where no one suffers, and life is fair.

First, people would see personality as the most important trait and give it priority over other traits, especially the harmless exterior.  From there, they would work on becoming better people by improving their personality, which would include cooperating, providing aid to others, accepting harmless differences, judging fairly, showing manners, not being nasty or improper, spreading positive influence, being less materialistic, and disproving unpleasant aspects.

In a perfect world, bias, discrimination, and judging by appearance would be considered a crime, so people would have to accept all races, creed, gender, age, abilities, and social classes.  Only those with bad personalities who do not try to improve themselves would be rejected.  This would also strengthen modesty, beginning a good cycle.

Modesty would also end arrogance and egoism,  which would promote more tolerance and cooperation and less materialism.  Instead of bragging, caring only about themselves, degrading others, competing, or cheating, people would care about one another and the enviromnment, working together to improve themselves and others and make the world a better place.

Those who brag, discriminate, mentally harm others, or play other forms of mind games would receive more punishment than those straightforwardly commit bad deeds.  Their double punishment would be for their double misdeeds: hurting others and attempting to get away with it, which is cheating.  People would be aware that deceit is a form of materialism, and will eventually place them into worse situations.

In a perfect world, humans would be less materialistic, thinking and carefully planning more for the future.  This means more self-control and better social and environmental protection.  There would be less (preferrably no more) wars, crime, violence, drugs, diseases, pollution, or natural depletion.

All these would make the world a better place, similar to utopia.  Unfortunately, a perfect world does not and will never exist, but we should try to make it as close to it as possible.
