'What happened to Utopia?'
People who believed it was possible for people to create Utopia is what happened. And it continues on to this very day. The oceans of blood spilled during the wars of the last 150 years alone has overwhelmingly been shed in the name of Utopianism; the greater good, the spreading of freedom, the spread of equality for all, then: the defense of freedom, the enforcement of equality; all in proliferation of the greater good.
The reality is the mission of all of these disparate organizations and governments and individuals and institutions and nations are ALL clearly stated, by them, to be in pursuit of Utopia. When Utopia and the greater good are the stated ends it appears that inculcating the greatest evil is the only acceptable means. Heaven will be built on earth, even if it has to be on top of a billion human skulls.
Doesn't the word Utopia actually mean
'no-place'?
I understand the world is not perfect... After all, we are human beings and we make mistakes -- but we could be doing "a little" better than our present day... Thanks for the comment!
We need to be doing a whole hell of a lot better, and we need to have started yesterday! But having unrealistic or impossible goals or requirements is a weapon with which we are kept down.
