A bit too much?

I believe utopias could never exist, at least not for very long. It is more of a fantasy or solitary place.  It's inane to think such a place with social, political, and governmental perfection could exist. Society couldn't work like that, no two men would have the same thoughts and eventually circumstances will arise.  There would never be a real utopia because as people we thrive on being the best, or better than the next person. How can any place no matter the size require no perfection when there is always a search for approval. Man will always seek some form of "you did good". Although it is not perfection per say, it is some form of it. It would be an idealists vision of perfection. Same with political/governmental/law perfection. The streets would eventually go rampant, because everyone wants more than they can handle, always searching for something greater and never content with what is in front of them. I guess for me a utopia is really in ones mind, once you add to it, it becomes less of a utopia and more of a society searching for meaning.
