Utopian society (#462)

Somewhere in time exists a society that is based on compassion and curiosity. It will inevitably exist if enough impetus toward it builds. The wherewithall necessary to form such a society is still unclear, however, either through some over-powering event or through some long struggled process the hoped for likelihood is possible. We have been born into the social contract that exists today. It is difficult to modify and change this contract because of the advantages many individuals with influence would rather maintain. Most heavily of these advantages are of a financial nature. There are advantages as well of power and artificial respect. There is also the philosophical whirligig of arrogance and greed to overcome. It is my belief that when we as a society become educated in whole, or are allowed the opportunity to equalize our opportunities we will have arrived at a staging point to make the correct course changes toward a society based upon compassion and curiosity. I conclude that life is short and unique to each of us. It should have the living experience of our senses and imaginations. It should not be a toil, a drudgery of base and immoral circumstances. None of us deserves anything less than equality with each other. We are all born into existence with no preconditions to our arrival. Our time in this dimension should reflect our best not some variation that also includes our worst.
