I'm not sure we're particularly qualified to define the aspects of a perfect world. Still, if I were to give it a shot, it would be a world where we were all living lives of unbounded joy. A world where contrast was still very much present, for a world without contrast would be a world where forward movement could not occur. Life would have no purpose.

For some reason, many people tend to associate the notion of a perfect world with boredom. The mental image I'm getting from that is of a world where we're all drugged into compliance and contentement.

But if you think this through, how could that be anywhere near perfect? Why, when thinking universal happiness, must we associate it with losing individual identity? What's wrong with having preferences and being different? Isn't that why we came here in the first place?
