Utopia
What is utopia? In my opinion, it is the impossible dream of human beings. Utopia can be a place where all the negative aspects of our lives are eradicated. For example, we may no longer need to work or study. Everything we need would be provided at a snap of our fingers and there would endless suppplies of whatever we need. There would be no conflict and the world would be exist in perfect harmony. But, then again, nothing is perfect.When we see things get better, we start getting complacent. In an utopia, there is no room for complacency. But there is not much we can do to suppress human nature. The more this impurity spreads, the faster the utopia will crumble.
Secondly, our greed for more drives us forwards. Even when we have everything, there are bound to have people who want more. Crime will emerge in this utopia, disrupting the peace and stability there. We will fill unsecure in this artificial eden, which defies the reason we painstakingly built it for.
Therefore, no matter how much we try, an utopia is nothing but a wish, a wish unfufilled because of our natures.
Life's but a game
