TM # 234 - Utopia
Utopia's are a short lived reality at best; none is truly capable of self sustainment. Most have a four year minimum, and a 10 year maximum. My biological father has done the appropriate study in a variety of worlds. Normally I would abstain from quoting him at any cost, however I've witnessed the fall of many Utopia's while partaking in travels with him.
My former master would argue that Utopia's are a foolish dream that solely appeases the weak. I have to agree. Without pain there is no growth and without chaos there is no order. There is only stagnation and lost potential. When the inevitable destruction arrives none will be prepared and any so called perfection will no longer be considered as such.
History has proven that no civilization is capable of maintaining a Utopia. Even the greatest empires have their share of corruption and disorder.
