Suggest Revision: The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.

Utopia is the dream world where everything is perfect and people in this world live in harmony, peace and friendship. “Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality” said Albert Camus. Constant efforts are made by political leaders, revolutionists and other people to make this a utopia but with so many contradictions and practical hurdles, it is impossible to make utopia out of this world. But in hindsight, we see that the people who form this world are responsible for all the forthcomings and thus, remedies and recommendations can never dream of turning this world into utopia. As Toni Morrison said, “All paradises all utopias are designed by who is not there by the people who are not allowed in “. But until then we can only dream of utopia and live in the dream world. Here are quotes on utopia given by various leaders and authors. Read them and share with your friends
