“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”Indeed, the pursuit of happiness..it is in most part a personal quest not so much a group activityI don't believe in utopia, for the sake that one person's paradise is another person's hell; as an ideal world is relative to each individual.
But the biggest farce is at birth, where the state claims you as its own, and declares a legally binding contract between you and it at age 0.
If an institution such as a church or a corporation claimed ownership of people that would be slavery, yet the government gets away with it.
Imagine yourself in another's ideological or religious shoes. You are born into x nation, but you become a communist, or a islamist, a free market capitalist, an industrialist, a writer, or any manner of things. But you are bound by contract to a state you never consented to exist or be ruled by, and its ideals are different to your own.
Is it any wonder we have wars of independence or of an ideological or ethnic nature, when at the most basic and fundamental level, consent is forced at the barrel of a gun, by court, or by popular demand. A free society doesn't exist yet, where you can make a real choice.
That kinda depends on whether one's focus is on the individual or on the collective.
― Mark Twain
