Dream Of A Perfect World

Perfectibility is not possible, but people have the power to dream of a perfect world, inhabited by their version of what it is to be perfectly human. Not only that, there are some of us who seem to have the power to infect others with our own idea of this perfection, to persuade them that this is the true, destiny, fate, or inevitable end of the human race’s desire to find some kind of mystical and mythical place. Some have called this place heaven, nirvana, utopia. Whatever name they give it doesn’t really matter. It is seen as a place to which – if we only follow the rules properly – we will end up arriving there.
