    What would be your ideas of a perfect world?

    For example in a perfect world....

    1. there would be no such thing as evil, or greed
    2. everyone would know exactly what they want to do with their lives
    3. broadsheets would outsell tabloids by a vast majority
    4. everyone would respect every person they ever meet

    Just some ideas off the top of my head, feel free to add.

    The perfect world is basically the Culture civilisation in Iain M. Banks' novels. :)

    Yes, there would be plenty of evil and greed. However, it would all be done by me, and me alone. Everyone else would kneel before my greedy evilness.

    People wouldn't hurt animals for no reason.

    That in itself wouldn't be perfect yet, but it would be a good start.

    in a perfect world, everybody would be more up for it - with out the stigma and guilt about their bodies and their desires.

    Your respect really isn't worth the hassle.

    But were talking about a world with no evil, greed, selfishness etc, so respect would be something that's universally earnt.

    I also understand there is such a thing as self-worth to the extent you are looking after yourself, but in a perfect world there would be a balance that everyone would have (that balance is lacking in this real world), that would mean having the common sense to be kind to themselves, and just as much to others.

    Meow!

    Respect shouldn't automatically doled out to anyone. You're mistaking my post with not being civil to people. One should be civil to everyone. Respect is a different thing altogether.

    You also misunderstood.

    The herd/mob mentality wouldn't exist and more people would be capable of having a mind of their own.

    People wouldn't get famous or successful just for being stupid e.g. Jade Goody and a lot of other "reality TV stars".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    how about not harming humans, surely thats more suited, after all we need to eat animals to survive

    You gave me quite a fright there, for a moment I thought I was dead because I don't eat or use animals!

    Evil is a human construct, it doesn't exist outside the human mind. If you want to rid your world of evil change your mind. Greed isn't really bad either, a world without greed would see animals dying off left, right and centre and evolution grind to a halt.

    2. everyone would know exactly what they want to do with their lives
    Bye bye creativity, mystery and exploration. We might as well be robots.

    3. broadsheets would outsell tabloids by a vast majority
    Don't see what difference that would make.

    4. everyone would respect every person they ever meet
    That's just silly.

    that would cause all kinds of problems, you'd have to eat constantly to stay alive.


    This world is perfect, people just ruin it with unbalanced states of mind.

    in a perfect world:

    there's be acknowledged population limits per country / region and resource usage so that plants and animals were preserved first and foremost and all materials would be generated, used and re-used sustainably.
