Can a perfect really exist? can we have a world in which every one is happy,satisfied and fulfilled? I think that can only happen if we cease to be human and instead become gods. Firstly because for some, they derive their happiness from the failure of others. This means that they will do everything in their power to cause others pain and hurt. Others in the process of creating their perfect worlds create imperfections in other peoples lives or in the world. This means that a perfect world is impossible.

For Bill Gates, a perfect world could be on in which he is able to control every aspect of his life using a computer of software for that matter. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the computer has truly made his and our lives easier, it has also increased pollution as the computers themselves are created and produced. They are also claimed to produce radioactive waves which can cause illness though this has not yet been scientifically proven. Imagine the impact that has on the world or a person finds to get cancer due to long hours before a computer? would the world be perfect for other humans or that person in specific respectively?

A perfect world therefore remains an illusion. This does not mean that we don't aspire to create such a world. I personally desire a perfect world in which we all love each other, do not seek our own interests first and put others before us and a world where we are fully aware of the consequences of our actions and thus chose to do good. I would off course love a world where there are no poor people living in slums, others dying of hunger and disease and of natural disasters. That would be a perfect world for me and I strive for it. The question of if I will really help create one, is definitely not within reach.

I therefore have determined to make my own little world perfect by being at peace with all my friends, leading a simple life and giving every opportunity. I am however not happy when I see that my efforts are useless as others take advantage of me and invade my space. I am now in the process of redefining my perfect world to exist firstly in my mind then later I can try see if that same perfect world will exist in reality. I have therefore chosen not to focus on all the imperfections in the world but to notice the little perfections and acts of perfection done by people so that I can imitate them. My hope is that I will be able to influence others to also build their own perfect worlds through my example.

Once everyone will have built their perfect worlds, it will be time now to bring those little worlds together by integrating shared visions and discouraging divisive ideas. I intend that people will be able to keep aside there personal interests so that they can sacrifice those interests for a greater global good. It is only then that we shall have a prefect world. A world in which all of us can be happy and fulfilled. One little step at a day, I constantly move towards achieving that goal and I know that with your involvement, we can create a really perfect world
