The primitive society (as the first period of non-
humaneness) people were happy when they discovered
how to make fire and warm themselves. Today people are
happy when they buy a new car. In future, happiness will
be inspired and fed by more sophisticated and higher
causes. The feeling of happiness will not change, it will
progress. People will be happier than today.
When children study history, they will be amazed
and wonder how a human being could kill another human
being; how a group of people hated another group of
people. They will wonder how people wasted their energy
on insignificant and unnecessary things the same way we
wonder about the primitive society, where the strongest
man in the tribe could do what he pleased in terms of
violence, sex and aggression.
The main representatives of utopianism treated this
subject as well. They say that marriage and family should
not exist. When the children are born, they should be
separated from their parents and put into boarding
schools, where each child would be equally treated. This
theory was the reason they proclaimed them utopians. It
has been utopianism ever since.
