A utopia is commonly believed to be a very peaceful place. A place with no war, anger, jealousy, etc. What might be a utopia to the selling hot dogs from the hot dog cart, could be different to the utopia little Billy riding his tricycle in the park is thinking of. Therefore, if the world turns into the utopia hot dog man is dreaming of, it will not be a utopia for Billy. Then what would an actual utopia be?

My personal philosophy is " Sorridi che passa". In italian this saying have more meanings. I try to translate. I think: "Smile, the time flies" but also "Smile and you'll be better" but also "Smile and you'll feel better". It's always possible? What do you think?

Light to Darkness.
Darkness to light.
Vision to blind.
Blind to sight.

A world without love is like a world without color.
Is beautiful to love one another.

Love your mother love your brother.
Everyone should love each other.

(I just made this up)

Is there anyplace on earth that has not yet been claimed by another country? For example, who owns Antarctica?

Could I (for example) go into the middle of the ocean and build something like an oil rig platform and make my own laws, etc???

Of course I don't really have the resources to do this, but what would be involved in starting a new country?

I have often thought I could design a better type of community outside the laws of the U.S. or other country. I would like to create a whole different philosophy of life....

I would like to believe the former but the latter seems true to me. As for what "ultimate purpose" and "real reason" mean, I will leave the definition of terms up to you.

Would you rather be a mindless 1 celled creature, who doesn't feel, think, love or hate, and whose only thought in life is to survive, or a human being, knowing, feeling and understanding both good and bad things?

Would you take the job? Would you wonder what God meant by "a little while"? Could that mean (to Him), for example, ten days or ten million years?

What would you tell Him? Or would you tell Him to get lost? Or would you simply question your sanity and end the call?

Relationship's Kite fly

A little boy was flying kite.
I sat wondering why,
Maybe he didn't know: hearts could fly.
I closed my world, slept for a while.

I dreamed of apples down beside.
Woke up wondering why,
Hadn’t given them a single try.
Maybe: son of gravity's might.

Boy's head was rising towards sky,
Thread was loosen for a oceanic while,
Then he tightened, brought it to height.
Like wings of fur, the kite flied.

This is how a relationship can glide.
Dream was indicating a theory realized.
