Why We Should Never Try To Make Society Perfect

In todays society, too many events are happening to cause distress.

Why We Should Never Try To Make Society Perfect

Here's the deal. Nobody or anything is perfect. Society will never be perfect. The government will never be perfect. Individuals will never be perfect. Stop thinking things need to change because of you and your opinion on certain matters.

You might be thinking right now 'Don't we have the freedom of speech?'
Yes you do. It is part of the four basic freedoms. RAPPS.
Freedom of religion.
Freedom of assembly.
Freedom of the press.
Freedom to petition.
Freedom of speech.
However, all of these rights have their own individual limitations.

This, however, does not mean that you have the right to riot. You may protest peacefully. If a protest turns into a riot and you become part of it, guess what, you are held responsible. What good is it going to do to cause more trouble in society than to help prevent it? How are violent actions the answer to the problem? This is only going to cause more distress. So please, keep it peaceful or keep it to yourself.

Race has become another, and one of the main issues in society. No race is better than the other. Here in The United States, we are what is referred to in history as a tossed salad. We have a mixture of races, ethnicities, and religions. There is the issue right now on the topic of illegal immigrants. Some people are taking this the wrong way and saying that anyone who is an immigrant should leave this country. This is wrong. Anyone who is illegally here should, because our country offers for them to be legal and they should take advantage of it. Yes it is a long process, but if they truly wanted to be a member of this country, they would have done it the right way.

Another topic is gay marriage. If you want to be married to a person you love, you should have the right to do so. However, if a priest/preacher/whomever is to carry on the wedding, is not comfortable with performing a same sex marriage, they should not be punished for doing so. It is there right on whether or not they wish to so. There are plenty of other people, I am sure, that would be willing to perform such a task.

I am going to leave you with this thought right here.
Watch movies, such as the Divergent series. People are placed into factions based on a standardized test. This test tells them what they are to do with their lives. Eventually the leader controls all of them.
Nobody wants to be controlled for their entire life. We can not try to create a perfect society based on a single individuals want/disagreement. If it hasn't harmed you or caused a serious distress in your life, than let things be. To create a perfect society would harm the human prestige. We would end up in another civil caused by an excuse that in reality, when you think about it, is not very large, and would cause more harm than good.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
