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.
