Utopia





                                                         Utopia

In art, we can see the reflection of different cultures as well as societies. If you want to find creativity, satisfaction and happiness, the single best solution I know is adding more art to your life.


For thousands of years human beings have dream t of a perfect world, a world free of conflict, hunger and unhappiness. But can these words ever exist in reality? In 1516 Sir Thomas More wrote ' Utopia'. He coined the word 'Utopia' from the Greek, meaning ' No place' or ' No where' but this was a pun. The almost identical Greek word ' Topos' means a good place so, utopia can be defined as an ideal or perfect place or state, or any visionary system of political or social excellence. In short, ' Utopia' means perfection.


In literature, utopia is a word which is use to showcase idealism. Sometimes in actual world, our dreams and desires don't get fulfilled and as a result we as human beings start living in the imaginative world which is a much more happier state to be in.

                                          “ Reality is sad”


We always fancy utopia, because everything is infallible for example - “ Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasma” is one kind of utopia, because everything is faultless and ideal. That is the reason why imagination is mightier than reality. An Utopian society also provides freedom for all.



                               “ The world of reality has its limits;

                             the world of imagination is boundless.”

                                                                                       - Jean Rousseau
