Sometime back I was thinking in the shower (I get all my best revelations while in the shower, lathering my head with shampoo) and decided that it was impossible for a utopian society to last. The vision people have of a clean world with peace and prosperity is simply doomed because of one simple fact: people are not all good. Of course, people are not all bad either, but the fact that we range across both yin and yang within our species makes something like utopia a pipe dream. The world is full of good and bad, and it is our duty to accept and balance both, not to squelch one or the other out. That would cause... a disturbance in the force. ;)
I have a very Taoist approach to life sometimes.
