A perfect world

What if the world as you know it today....all the chaos, scandals, disasters and crime just suddenly disappear overnight?
Imagine that world of perfection. No more problems, the absolute definition of most people's perfect world... A happening reality.
Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?
But here's the flip side.... Would we be happy then? And does a perfect world ensure perfectly satisfied people? Would that finally calm our restless hearts?
 
Or would a perfect world be a problem by itself?
Does everything that we consider virtuous, beautiful and right.... Once achieved...actually produce everlasting happiness in people?
I love striving for perfection, most of us do, intentionally or unintentionally.
But if perfection was already achieved...What would our purpose on this planet be then?
Maybe we'd go into depression over not being able to improve human lives and the world.

Then again, achieving perfection in every respect is a just a dream, because as humans advance, we desire higher standards of perfection, from ourselves, others and what fate decides.
Maybe, just maybe, our problems give us reason enough to live, work and see them get solved. Our problems give us hope and purpose.
