Living in an almost perfect world


How would the world be like if all of us could get everything we want to have?



I consider that there would be positive and negative aspects.



The first thing that comes to my mind is that there would be no more inequality; there would be no poverty, and that is a VERY VERY positive aspect, because as we saw in class, a lot of countries have tried to end with this problem, and they haven't succeeded. In a very general way, I can imagine this world almost perfect; I imagine all the children that are living in extreme poverty living in a lovely world, where they can be feeded, where they can be free of being working to get more money and where they could live in a happy way.


There would be lots of water, there would be no more endangered species and we all would be able to get what we have always wanted..... But in the other side, according to the way we behave, how would it be?


I am aware that while we have enough things to live, we don't care about none of those things, so I also can imagine our world as a place where we will be wasting everything; having no conscience of our acts, because it won't matter for us .. there would be enough things for everybody.

It would be like getting everything without making any effort, and actually I consider that when we try hard to get something is when we really appreciate it. Nature is wise, so there would be a reason why resources are not endless.
