So, I decided that I would start with the impossible. That seems logical, right? Utopia, the entire idea of it, is absolutely not possible. Sir Thomas More created the word from the Greek for “not (a) place”, so as to make it as obvious as he could that this is unattainable.
So what does that all mean? It means nothing! Because everyone has an imagination and dreams of what perfection is. Everyone has their own little utopia that exists in the back of their minds and taunts them with what ’should be’ rather than what ‘could be’. We live in an imperfect world that will never ever be absolutely perfect, and that is where this is all going.
– The goal is NOT to create the perfect place out of my imagination. The goal is to take what society has given us, weigh ever possible option, every pro and con, and then mold something that is mostly perfect for the majority. The goal is to get as close to utopia as possible for the largest amount of people – and let the rest of the world sit there and understand that what is in the best interests of the world at large may not be in their own best interests. I’m not even looking out for just myself here, either. There may be conclusions made that might destroy some of the very things I hold dear – but those are the necessary evils that one must face if they want to walk through the so-called perfect world that so many people dream of and speak of but no one has ever seen let alone tried to build from the cracked ground up.
Over the next few days, weeks, however long it takes – I will do my absolute best to have an out of body experience and step into the role as a God back from vacation, looking down on his destroyed workshop floor and trying to put everything back together without any destruction or restart. The pieces are all out there, scattered around, and every one of them has its proper place. We just have to find them. Let us all just hope the dog did not pick up any and bury them in the backyard.
Coming Soon, Part One – The Big Picture. Looking at all those pieces, how they are now and where they just might be when all is said and done. It is going to be a long, touch road, but if it is there – it will eventually and inevitably be traveled.
