Question

If everything was perfect would the world be a better place ?
If everyone did as they were meant to and there was no crime etc would the world be perfect or would it be horrible?

Answer

If everything was perfect, would we realise it? brbrHumanity can never be contented by the scarce resources which this planet provides. The distribution of income and wealth amongst society is growing ever further, proving that effective demand will always differ between persons due to the varying degrees of purchasing power each holds. People strive for more. When a person buys a car, he or she is no longer content with that car once they have driven it a few times and become used to it they want a bigger, faster, better car. And so people are never content, proving, so long as we all occupy just one planet, perfection cannot exist. brbrYou must also ask yourself what would happen if your definition of perfection did exist. If this were the case, we would be living tribally the way we did thousands of years ago. If everything was perfect, no one person would be in charge so we would all be estranged from one another as we all lived out our perfect lives. Unemployment would be rife as there would be no need for a police force or armed forces as no crime or war would beseech the planet due to its newfound peace and tranquility. The population would spiral out of control as there would likely be millions less deaths every year across the world which would lead to an even lesser subsistence level of foodstuffs and essential products for each global citizen. brbrWhilst I do not usually try to contradict someones optimism, I do feel in this case it was due. I feel that, theoretically, a state of perfection would in fact cause a nonperfect state until an equilibrium came to exist. Many cultures believe that everything in this world has an opposite your idea of perfection would displace the natural equilibrium we have come to live by and, whilst the world would undoubtedly be a better place in the shortrun, it is almost certain in the longrun that perfection would deteriorate. Humanity is not perfect if we were, we would not need to study behaviour and the meaning of life and why we are here. Life would also be a lot less fun. brbrIm sorry if this has become somewhat of an essay. I hope I have helped you, perhaps, to address the other side of the coin. I would be glad to continue to discuss this topic with you further via email if you wish.
