“All paradises, all utopias are designed by who is not there, by the people who are not allowed in”
— Toni Morrison
Simplified Meaning:
When a perfect world, or utopia, is imagined, it's often created by people who don't include everyone in their vision. They make it perfect for themselves but leave out others who might disagree or be different. For instance, think about a group of friends planning a dream vacation but not asking everyone what they want. They might choose activities that only a few enjoy, leaving out those with different interests. This can lead to some people feeling excluded or unhappy. In life, it’s important to remember and include everyone’s needs and perspectives when making plans, whether it's for a vacation, a community project, or any group activity. This way, everyone feels valued and the outcome is truly fair and wonderful for all.
