What is your idea of a perfect world?
What is your idea of a perfect world?
My idea of a perfect world is to be free from evil, racism, warfare, corruption, anger, jealousy, envy, sadness, poverty, diseases, illness, snobbery, egos and drugs
I would also consider my idea of a perfect world is for everybody to have a well built mansion in the city and a nice big house out in the country and for everybody to be surrounded by all the peace, joy, love & happiness they can get.
Another one of my ideas of a perfect world is to have all the clothes I want stored in my mansion and house and to be surrounded by all kinds of luxury.

I’d include everything I’ve bolded from your post for an overall perfect world. On a personal level, I’d skip the mansion and luxury. Of course, in a perfect world one could have those things if one wanted them--I just don’t.
I’d add to the list the ability to live anywhere on the planet with no worries about borders or immigration. For me, perfection would be a small, cozy cabin along the coast of northern Norway on the shores of a very scenic fjord, with occasional travel to all parts of the world. Yes... that would be nice!

Since there is absolutely NO such thing as *perfection*, I think where I live now is a perfect world.
Why ??
Because I made it that way in my opinion, not yours or anybody else's.

Everybody lives to be 100, and then dies peacefully in their sleep.

No more wars, nukes ( unless for peaceful purpose), anger, hate, racisim, hunger, disease, corruption.
Everyone is entitled to free education!
In short: Peace on Earth!

You mean you'd have teachers and principals working without pay? School buildings would be built by volunteers and cleaned by volunteers? |

No.
I believe that education should be a right for all people; especially, higher education.
Education is the backbone of civilization. If we are to truely progress as a society, there should be a free flow of knowledge, ideas, and cultures. |

Okay but you said "free" before. Now that you're saying it's a "right", you're at least admitting that someone has to pay for it.
The right to go to a university isn't the same as saying someone else must be expected to pay for it for you. I for example did have a right to go to a university -- and I did but I worked by rear end off in order to pay for it and go. |

Aren't we're talking about a "perfect world". This is just how I feel. I know there wouldn't be an end to wars, disease, hunger, racisim, etc. Hence, if these things were to so how magically go away, we would live in a "perfect world". |
