Utopia is a word used to describe a perfect society. Meaning everyone is at peace and there are no problems. It is also means there is no evil and everlasting life. There is knowledge and everyone gets along. To sum it all up there is nothing bad that happens.

My utopia society is some what the same or should I say the same. There are all good people and everyone lives forever. There are never any problems. There is always someone there to help when anyone have any problems. Everyone gets along and there is no fighting. Everyone is always thinking positive and never negative.


In reality it will never be so peaceful. The reason for that is because we have bad people, disturbed people and problems. People do not always think positive and everyone does not go to church. There are people who have bad attitudes and everyone does not think the same. Some people are not as smart as other people or even as dumb as other people. There will never be a utopia society.
