The True Purpose

Socrates is trying to desperately to define a perfect, whole, and just society. Unfortunately, no matter which way you look at it, it simply can't be done. Or at least that's what I keep seeing. However, if we could make a perfect society, wouldn't we at least try? To answer my own question, it's yes, we would. In Philosophy 101 we just read exerts from the Declaration of Independence and the UN Declaration of Independence. The purpose of both of these documents was to create a society where people could live freely and happily, yet at the same time, live for the greater good. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness only stands true until you get in someone else's way of their own rights. That's why laws and bills were formed and passes, to give a guideline that everyone could follow and reach happiness. Yes, it seems incredibly absurd to try and create a perfectly just utopia, but in truth that's exactly what America did years ago.
