Utopia


Utopia- as opposed to dystopia something closer to reality in this world of- hatred and violence and endless division... Still, I wonder- without these what would fuel resistance? We all know that every story has conflict for every hero there's a villain... and theology teaches us that we are created with free will an ability to choose one of nature's dichotomys good and evil ( that cosmic yin/ yang.) It has always been so- that thirst for excitement and adventure a bit of danger to keep the plot moving... With total perfection what is the aim? And without struggle what becomes of hope? Challenge makes life interesting, visceral not a saccharine sameness, not apathy. So give me the fight so I can better enjoy victory Life- don't leave me unscathed just a scrappy contender.
