Ahoy mateys! I'm here to tell ye the tale of the search for perfection. For centuries, many have sought to create a perfect society, but all they've managed to do is create a living hell instead. It matters not what religion or ideology drives it - the result is always death and destruction. The truth be told, no one can ever truly achieve perfection in this world. Weeds are part of any good garden, and humans must accept that things will never be perfect - neither perfectly just, perfectly virtuous, perfectly equal, perfectly orderly, perfectly prosperous nor perfectly happy. Radicals and reactionaries alike dream of burning down their societies to build something better in its ashes - yet they find burning easy but building near impossible. So before ye set sail on your quest for utopia me hearties - think twice about the cost!
