1,315 words
Society is flawed. There are critical imbalances
in it that are causing much of humanity to suffer.
I suppose that this would be the driving force
behind humanity's relentless search to plan and
create a perfect society. An essential part of
having an unglazed society would be having a
perfect government. Throughout history, we have
always strived to find different types of
governments that would work more efficiently and
more fairly for the greater good of masses.
Needless to say, communism is ...

What come to mind when you hear the word knight?
You are probably thinking of a book that you read
when you were younger and saw someone in shining
armor, fighting a dragon and rescuing ladies in
