Replying to LO26202 --
I presume this was a rhetorical question, Jack, to generate conversation.
This is one of those historical questions. It's been asked in the context
of religious beliefs; socio-political ideologies (which of course is the
derivation of your "utopian" metaphor); human relationships of all sorts.
So...in the event we could agree that the LO is an ideal and beyond
actualization, what's your point? Do you believe that people's long-term
goals should be within their reach? Why bother with dreams and visions
then? I mean, after all, we're all going to die anyway--so why spend so
much effort in living?
regards,
Doc
