Utopia

We live without violence. No physical, financial, social, or psychological violence. Not against people, nature, or anything that feels, speaks, writes, or thinks differently – including unconventional ideas. We are open and honest, communicate well and peacefully, and live justly. Money and status play no role; but wisdom and love do. We are inspired by what is different and unfamiliar, by the complementarity and complexity of life. We can listen, reflect, and empathize. We feel and think from the perspective of future generations. We could be so much freer.
