a fact is is that perfection is impossible. being human = imperfection. Utopia--have you ever read it? If you had, you'd see that the author agreed
with me--or rather, that I agree with him. And the phrase utopia was coined from that literary work.
part of the reason being is that your definition of perfect and mine probably differ. Isn't being imperfect part of what makes being human perfect?
lol and conditioning? i think not. you try being anorexic for a bit and tell me perfection is still possible.
I understand your idealism but it isn't grounded in rational thought. That is all I'm saying.
Even if your idea became actualized, there are always going to be people who ruin it--which is why communism in its pure form is impossible. Unless
you'd like to take free will out of the picture, of course. But then, that wouldn't be very ethical or very perfect, would it? People are neither good
nor evil by nature--and the potential for evil exists within us all--think of Milgram's experiments.
Don't make assumptions please. And do some reading before you choose to debate a moot point.
The only thing that we can do is be the best that we can be--which will never be perfect and that is okay. Helping others, being kind, doing good,
those are all things that are feasible. Perfection is unattainable due to the human condition. And I don't understand why that is so difficult for you
to grasp.

Denying our imperfection is ignorant and ultimately damaging. Your ill-founded belief that perfection is possible is actually very NWO of you to
believe. So, I think that your pointing out 'conditioning' probably means transference--meaning, you are the one who is talking due to your
conditioning. And the reason why you are so loathe to admit that I may have a point. And perhaps I am wrong and you merely misunderstood me. And in
that case, fine--I hope that you understand, now.
