Utopia

Utopia = An imaginary place considered to be perfect or ideal
Utopia, in its most common and general positive meaning, refers to the human efforts to create a better, or perhaps perfect society. Ideas which could be/are considered able to radically change our world are often called utopian ideas.
Utopia is the place that doesn’t exist.
The same bullshit as Weber’s ideal type.
The same as religion.

It is there to tell us what is perfect.
It is there to tell us, to remind us how far from perfect we drifted.

It is there described in words, you can almost feel it, but you can never have it – SELFISHNESS IS THE SIN.

We all are living a dream, our own little utopia, we all are there. It’s a non-real existence.
Our dreams are utopian, our existence is real (it is real in our metric system of reality, how we define real, everything is questionable…). We know we will never reach utopia, never fight for it , never even speak of it, even if we may secretly pursue it.

Utopija the Slovene version of the word carries a meaning close to English verb drown.
Drown your dreams, your thoughts, your opinion, drown yourself, do it just in order to keep material functioning.
Drown the island that never was, sink it let it meet Atlantis - beautiful islands let them be neighbors.
Drown your sorrows, your deafening silence, drown them all in gin. Escape…for how long?
Utopia I’ll do anything to come, I’ll try, I’ll do my best.
I MATTER.
