As a kid, I thought the point of life was to make the world a better place. To create a future Jetsons-like society -- where everyone enjoyed an easy life, zooming around in flying cars, with no pain or poverty.

I truly thought it was possible. How naïve was that?

I guess I'm still a kid then. I refuse to believe this is not possible. Even if it wont happen in our lifetimes, it's up to us to get next generations closer to it.
