Even though this piece is rather long but I have read through it. It's a proactive piece about our mind and life and society. I like the idea of Cruise to Utopia. I like taking cruises for its luxury but an intellectual feast would be even better. I like the following:
"The simple secret of the universe is that we create our reality."

Well done.

Very interesting. I will admit some of this commentary has a the ring of truth and wisdom to it. And you do an excellent job of presenting your concepts of living, achieving and the goal for society and individual well, and in a way that is easy to understand.

I agree, much of achieving in life is as simple as following a recipe (in some cases). Now there are others that are a little more grey, but that doesn't take away how this post is crafted. Agree or disagree, this is:

Excellent work.

Your have stated your ideas very well. To me, truth is a crucial quality in every action. It is disheartening to see so many lies being told through the media that people grab onto and spread everywhere as being true. I am a very spiritual individual and the basis of my faith is truth and goodness. While I am not a very political person, I cannot help but notice that many campaign lies are surging into notice as the days go by.

You have inserted some interesting poetry in this posting. I just do not understand what you mean by saying there is no sin. I have worked with a lot of unfortunate people whose scars were added to their bodies through the acts of other people I would never describe as being sinless.
Evil exists in this world and it is running rampant right now. Someone recently tried to break into my apartment but luckily, could not get through the wrought iron security door. I look at the scratch marks left around the frame every time I go in and out. All I know is that it was a sinful heart in that unscrupulous person who prompted the attempt.

Ideals are wonderful, but I do not know of any perfectly ideal societies in this present world. America is the country whose Constitution strives to be the fairest to the people being governed and it is being trashed by the powerful who want to be at the top and rule over one world government. It is so sad to witness the many changes today that do not actually benefit the common person.

Wow. This is a dissertation for a masters degree thesis here. Its chock full of ideas and It was cool til I came upon this:

"Sin is an artificial idea". Really? Okay. Im a Christian, so if anything sticks out like a sore thumb, its this statement.

Nice writing style from a technical standpoint but of course its all theory.
