Cristian Balan Heaven & Hell

My idea of a utopian society would be quite a simple one. First there would be no more hate against one another so no more wars and people would stop dying. Racism, sexism, and nationalism everywhere wouldn’t be a problem since everyone would get along, so very little negativity or crime would occur throughout the world. Then, with all the free time we achieved from creating world peace, we could focus on ending world hunger, finding cures to cancer, diseases, infections, etc. and eventually continuing forth into colonizing space. People down on Earth now get to do whatever, perform their favorite jobs to contribute to society, even though everything would be free and in such an abundance that money would have no value. Everyone would have a happy healthy lifestyle living in their dream house. And everyday when they go outside to enjoy the world and discover the infinite amount of pleasure and knowledge , people will have shoes that fit just right and they all love their neighbors. Therefor life would be a climax of euphoria forever and ever til’ the end of time, and what lies in the next life, if anything, would still be a mystery to us all.

Now my idea of a dystopian society is pretty horrible. In a world after a nuclear war, everyday you wake up with a fever and have fight off the wilderness that has wandered into your home since you live in a burned down building, with your bare fists. you then sit down to eat breakfast consisting of whatever you killed a few minutes ago and contaminated water from the irradiated pipes. After that you wear the one outfit you have because you are broke, then you have to walk uphill, in the cold, cloudy weather, starting at 4 o'clock in the morning, to your sixteen hour job of being a slave, which means literally doing whatever they request, to a government run by criminals that can watch your every move, 1984 style, who plan to resurrect every infamous rulers for their disgusting pleasure. and while this is all happening, a man repeatedly smacks you with a spoon all day and you can’t do anything about because harming the spoon smacker is punishable by death. Now if you manage to survive another day in the terrible life of this world. you go home and find out someone you knew died and when you read the newspaper it’s filled with depressing stories and propaganda, then you have to find something to eat for dinner and go to bed quickly for the next day.
