Utopia a Soap Bubble Pipe Dream

Utopia, by definition is non-existent and never achievable
A Utopian society realized must pop like a shiny soap bubble with rainbow sheen glistening
So Utopia is an objective, an aim, a pipe dream of perfection
Greed and selfishness will always pull it down

It is like how the the mass of an object increases 
When its speed approaches the speed of light.
To reach the speed of light, exactly would require an infinite force to overcome the inertia.
The nearer a society gets to Utopia, the harder it becomes to achieve perfection.

Utopia is heaven on earth and both are contradictions.
The bigger the soap bubble, the more wobbly and fragile it becomes.
So it is with Utopian society
The closer and more idealistic a society becomes 
The more likely that greed and selfishness will grow sharp and pop the bubble.
