[ EU ] Tell me a tale that convinces me that a popular dystopian future ( ie 1984 , Children of Men , Farenheit 451 , etc . ) is actually a utopian future .

Here lies the last words and testament of Mustapha Mond, Resident World Controller of Western Europe 
 
 In the terms of many, I am God. In terms of the wise or strong willed I am the head of the greatest perversion that has ever occurred. I have given them roles, preplanned lives, orgy-porgy, and above all soma. I and the rest of the world controllers have turned humanity into a well tuned machine. In which all human emotion, thought, and spirit have all been sanitized for benefit of the society we have crafted. 
 
 What I wish to tell everyone who has ever doubted me. Everyone who has called me a monster or worse a pervert who takes joy in manipulating everyones' lives. They themselves have not seen the horrible truth of what came before us. War, poverty, sickness, hunger, torture, and all manners of horrors I have seen them all. All World Controllers are put through the feelies that record and simulate the pains from the past. I have not only seen the look on the faces of children burning during an air raid, but felt the agony of being burned to death along with them. I have felt the longing and sadness felt by orphans living in slums and the unbearable pain of starving to death. I and the other World Controllers go through this so that we can see why we must do what we are doing. 
 
 It is all great and fine to dream and idealize about a world where art, passion, freethought, ambition, bravery, and above all, love can not only be allowed but encouraged, but reality can not allow it. I can not bear the thought of what I saw from the past become our future. No piece of art can ever justify the sight of a victim of a chemical bombing. No new true discovery can wipe away the risk of us finding a more efficient way of killing and maiming ourselves. No passion or love can ever justify the unimaginable capacity for hatred that I know humanity has. 
 
 A motion was brought up to the World Controllers, that requested that subversive persons should be shown the feelies. So that they too may understand, fully, why there are World Controllers, conditioned classes, soma, and suppression of all that makes us human. I and other rejected this proposal. We need dreamers, idealists, passionate people, we need true discovery, in short we still need people. But just not here not now. I hope that one day we can discover a way in which we can all truly live in peace, together with what makes us so evil yet so beautiful. In truth the people we banish to the islands are our greatest hope. In my final days I pray to God that someday on some island they will discover a way for humanity to become human again. Until then what I governed can be no true utopia, just a utopia in waiting, but a utopia none the less.
