[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9539785, member: 6796468"] There is a problem in saying "People who have experienced bad things are in danger of becoming evil." Only perfect in that it is perfectly good. Because there is no evil. In a society where there is only good and neutrality there would be abundant kindess and support. Also our cultural obsession with punishment is evil, but that's a different argument. In a world where good people, truly good and kind, strive toward a better future a utopic society is the most reasonable outcome. The only stumbling block would be "Neutral" people saying "I don't really care about whether or not we have a good society so long as my needs are met" And in a good society, those needs would be met. Sooo... Anyway. Yeah. In a world where everyone is good, or at worst not bad, things would be markedly better than they are. And as much as we complain, they're not nearly as bad as they -could- be... they're just not as good as they could be, either. And in a society without evil, nothing would oppose us from making it better. [/QUOTE]
