Men have dreamed of a Utopia since the beginning of time. To wit the Garden of Eden. This story first, repeated orally from one generation to the next until it could be recorded for posterity. Did it rationalize, for early man, why he died? and where he went?
In modern times Shang ri la. To me this is a good thing because it lay the foundation for hope and it carried with it a vision, a goal, a mission for mankind. and despite all the craziness that continues in this world of ours we always come back to this hope this vision this promise to ourselves of a long lasting, happier and better life for our children and our children's children
