"A Perfect Society"

My ideal society has a strong culture of sharing with each other and loving on another,
working together, laughing, finding and living happily with everyone's best interest equivalent to
each individual's own best interest.

The perfect society would be one in which everybody got whatever they wanted.
Obviously, this is impossible to achieve. So we can only strive for the best possible society.
Achieving this would be the equivalent of finding the lines of best fit through a series points for
various graphs. For example, if we all have different opinions about the ideal length of a working
day, then in the best society the length of the working day would be the mean of all our ideas. It
won't be the perfect society for anyone, but on the whole. It'll be the least lead for everyone.

People will be brought up from birth in a loving community, educated in a different

system that encourages free-thinking and thrives on the natural drive to learn that all human
children have. There will be no exposures to greedy cultures. Instead, people will grow up
surrounded this present happiness learning that living virtuously leads to a life free of suffering
and full of genuine happiness. A society in which "property is theft", the government will not
force people to give up their possessions for them to be re-distributed, rather individuals are
willing to give up everything to the mutual control of everyone. Everything is to be shared.
Individuals, finding spiritual wealth in their everyday lives will understand material wealth to be
meaningless, except when referring to the wealth of all as a collective.

Society will be truly democratic, all members will be equal. Population will be
moderately dense, perhaps village like, but not too city like. While this is all involved, it may not
be as far-fetched as you think. Society could be founded somewhere and if successful, the idea
could spread. In fact, I believe this is a kind of "sane societies" we could conceive of having. Our
current society is certainly toxic even if you found it to be sufficient for yourself, it is certainly
not sufficient for everyone else.
 If said it many time before, you won't find any ideal system until people change first and
that's a cultural change that no government or law can force though they can encourage.

With a system like this, there would be no need for money. Everything would be free,
because production would be continuous, everyone would be fed because in this society, nobody
would take more needed. Food could be free because farmers produce the food for everyone, and
the scientists advance technology for everyone. Everyone benefits from each other, so everything
is shared. Without money it would be finally no longer be a flaw of humans. It would be
understood between all members of this society that you only take what you need, and provide
for everyone.

This reliance on consciousness speaks to the personalities that the humans living in this
society would need to have. The people living this type of lifestyle would have to be honest,
respectful, and selfless. There would be no place for arrogance, selfishness, desire for control.
Every person would have to believe they were equal to each other and live for each other rather
than for themselves. Hospitality and politeness would be deeply cherished traditions, where a
host would be willing and insistent to sacrifice some comfort in order to help a stranger in the
same way they might help a friend.

I realize that this is a very far-fetched unlikely society, but I feel that if conditions were
perfect, it is a society that would work. It is a lot to ask for that humans eliminate greed and
selfishness, but if this could be done I think that society would be much closer to reach
perfection.
