**What does love of all life mean exactly?** As hinted above, it does **NOT** necessarily mean maximizing specific measures such as abundance of life (which could lead to overpopulation and in turn to suffering), the sum of happiness of all life (which could lead to just dosing everyone with drugs or killing unhappy individuals), elimination of negative emotion such as hatred (which would likely prevent us from recognizing wrong directions of our society), it doesn't mean respect towards everyone etc. It doesn't even mean that we will never kill anyone on purpose, our society may support [euthanasia](euthanasia.md) without violating its principles. Love of all life mostly means that **we start behaving [selflessly](selflessness.md) and [altruistically](altruism.md) instead of pursuing self interest**, at least as much as we practically can. It means that we start seeing the life on our whole planet (and possibly in the whole universe) as our own family, not as our enemies. This doesn't mean we will like everyone, that we'll agree with everyone's opinions, that we won't criticize anyone or that we'll be [politically correct](political_correctness.md) etc., it just means that we will never try to cause suffering to others, that we'll try to not exploit others, that we'll be aware of the needs of others and try to behave towards them with empathy and love. Importantly **we will try to pursue these ideals even if we can't achieve perfection**.
We will further set a few principles to which we'll stick on the way towards the goal. Firstly **we will never force anything** as forcing any idea, whatever it may be, always ends up being [evil](evil.md). To us **ends NEVER justify the means.** We want to increase happiness of life mainly through **increasing its [freedom](freedom.md)** -- and it's important to note we mean REAL freedom, i.e. increasing the number of choices anyone has [de facto](de_facto.md) available at any moment. This must never be confused with so called "pseudofreedom" which just means "law of the jungle".

First of all: **we will never force anything**, as forcing any idea, whatever it might be, always ends up being [evil](evil.md).

**Is it possible to achieve ideal society?** We believe so -- outline of our reasoning is this:
