The Perfect World, the Future, etc.

Anarchism would see the abolishment of the church, which I don't agree with anyway.  .

Don´t anyone think this is a contradiction? :huh:

You say religion is the basis of your anarchism; but you then say that Anarchism would destroy your religion. I find that a bit contradictory, because acording with what you say

you can´t be both things.

It actually makes perfect sense. You don't need a church or a priest to be religious. He apparantly wants to get rid of ORGANIZED religion, which again makes sense, since according to his point of view he probably thinks why any priest would be closer to god then any other human, and thus have any authority in religious matters. He probably thinks that religion is something that is practiced on an individual basis, therefore it can co-exist with an anarchist environment.

How can a person fail at nothing - by accomplishing something? :lol:

Nah if we aim at nothing instead of aiming at "perfection" we won't be dissapointed when we don't reach perfection. B)

 

 

Albareth you do?? Aww thank you. Even though Im not a girl and Im not 6 My Little Ponies still rings a bell in my childhood memories <even though those childhood memories most likely will be incorect according to the Inverse Law Of Memory :P>

Perhaps in a perfect world we would take out our anger and envy and greed and hatred in a virtual environment and then somehow understand how to live with each other in harmony and not care what other people had that we didn't or if they didn't share our opinions.

 

Yet we can really only understand one side of it. Those accessing this forum have regular access to computers and the internet. It automatically means we have more than many. It's hard to know what it's like to have nothing and then meet others who have so much unless you've actually been there. Attempts to help can so often seem patronising.

 

I agree would should strive to achieve greater understanding but even late at night debating the issue round a roaring fire and slowly getting drunk I've never found the key.

 

Not finding the key - brings RPGs to mind again.

 

Perfection may be impossible for the very reason others have said - we all have different views of what is perfect - but HARMONY must achievable. It'll come eventually from a need for world unity to save the planet, if it's not left too late. I don't see it as happening in my life time but I don't despair of the future. There will be changes down the line my 21st century mind could never conceive.

 

I do what I can to proselytise tolerance - in what I write, the way I behave and the things I say but I see many others who only pay lip service to it. (More than a few who disagree too.)

 

It's up to each of us to do what we can!

 

Over to you!

In a perfect world we would see a lot more respect, honesty, humility and compassion. These are some of the best traits of "human nature" though they seem the least often expressed. I don't mean to say that there is nothing good about the world we live in, just that much of the good is overshadowed by greed, hate, callousness and insincerity.

To move away from the "I'm gonna get mine while the gettin' is good" mentality and towards the "I'm gonna make sure my neighbors and that family down the street who I don't know get some, then I'll get some for myself" is heading in the right direction. There is enough food to feed everyone in the world, people starve because greed (usually disguised as "politics") prevents the extra food from getting to where it is needed.

I don't know if humankind will ever achieve "utopia" but we can sure as heck be a lot nicer to one another.

The world is never going to be perfect, there will always be something to improve
