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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
