If a society is to succeed, it has to work on an institutional level.
The dream of the first pilgrims in the US was about that; the perfect society.
This dream has been carried on till today, where idealism is a core virtue in the US.
The Americans are so idealistic.
The American revolution that was a part of the same humanistic revolutions in Europe, was also about trying to make the perfect society. Where all work to make a better world.
This brings joy, and a paradise.
John Steinbeck quipped, that the paradise may have been lost.
Yet each new generation in the US tries to formulate what they can do to make a better world. Each and every generation seek to formulate something they believe, that will make a better world.
Lately the cry of unity has been on the lips of the Americans. A world where people thrive with each other and the unity of the people is sought.
As we used to say, divided we fall, united we stand.
G-d bless the will to unite, and stay strong as one.
