The idea of a perfect world, also known as a utopia, is a very controversial ideology for its complexity and structure. There are vast amounts of factors involved in life that make it difficult for any human being to believe that a perfect world may exist at all, let alone imagine its probability. The structure of a perfect world would be different than the structure of society today, since us humans do not live in a perfect world. However, this so-called “perfect” structure of society and life itself may not be satisfactory for every human being, which leads us to once again believe that a perfect world cannot exist. In addition, the word perfect has a broad range of meanings. Each and every person can define the word in different ways. This brings a very important question to mind: If a perfect world exists, would we know it? For these reasons and many more, a perfect world cannot exist.

The world as we know it is very complex. In basic terms, humans need food and water to survive. Without these necessary elements, we would all die of starvation. Animals also fall into this category because they too need food to survive. One of the many issues in the world is hunger. Hunger relates to the accessibility of food and the abundance of food. All around the world, people starve to death because food is not abundant in the place they live (this can be due to overpopulation) or they cannot access food (this can be due to poverty). In a perfect world, staving children or adults and food will be present all around the world. This idea can have a huge effect on human beings. For instance, if food is accessible anywhere around the world, adults may believe that it is okay to overpopulate the world. This type of thinking would not have a positive turnout. Moreover, there is a question about where all the food would come from. If food will magically appear, jobs will be greatly affected. If food is harvested and fish are caught from lakes, there will be big issues in regards to endangered species. Consequently, a perfect world would not meet the demands of society.

The structure of a perfect world would also be very different than the structure we have now. From a political perspective, a perfect world may not necessarily need a government with laws and amendments. In a perfect world, there would be no rules to break and no issues to deal with. Once again, this would have an impact on jobs and crime rates. From a social perspective, a perfect world may not necessarily need schools, churches, and/or youth groups. In a perfect world, human beings would be born intellectual and use their knowledge well as opposed to spending half their life educating themselves. This may be beneficial to human beings, but the idea of meeting new people, making friends, and having lifetime experiences will be greatly affected along with jobs for teachers and professors and landmarks such as libraries, churches, buildings, etc.

People have different opinions about a perfect world; more importantly, people have different definitions of the word perfect. According to Dictionary.com, perfect holds the definition: “Confirming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type.” Wikipedia.com, which is a common resource in which anyone may make a post, has the following definition: “Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness.” These two definitions have incredibly different ideas and bring about incredibly different questions about a perfect world. As a result, an interesting question is brought to attention: If a perfect world exists, would we know it? The world in which we live may very well be a perfect world. It cannot be compared to other worlds which makes it difficult to analyze. What we humans habitually do is imagine about a perfect world and what it would consist of. But because of the cornucopia of definitions that define the word perfect, we are unable to agree upon a set of rules or definitions of a perfect world. Instead, many tend to give up on the idea of a utopia ever existing or even the possibility of it existing one day. On the other hand, many believe that if we lived in a perfect world, we would definitely know it. This type of thinking proves that the world in which we currently live in is not perfect, because we are unaware of its perfection.

All in all, a perfect world would be very difficult to imagine. There are so many factors involved in the creation of a utopia that it is almost impossible to suffice to all of them. When people think of a perfect world, they see happiness. However, can there truly be happiness all around at all times? If so, how would the rest of society look like? The complexity of life, the structure of life, and the definitions of perfection would have to be taken care of in order for us to live perfectly. The only way humans can be happy forever is if they are brainwashed. Consequently, we will no longer have control over our brains and our actions, which may contradict the perfect world itself. Thus, a perfect world cannot exist.
