However, ideal individuals can certainly be produced. Events in history also support the above view that no ideal system has ever existed at the level of the whole of humanity in this world. In view of the Creator’s plan, it is not possible for an ideal system to be established at the level of the whole society in the present world.

It is this ultimate society which in religious terms, is known as Paradise.
