A simple question

What if all truths
         were clearly known
were widely shared
         widely appreciated
what if lies and deceit
         and self-interest
were so transparent
         that nobody would
dare to lie and cheat
         nor promote themselves
at the expense of others
         what if beauty and goodness
were truly synonyms
         and evil the only ugliness
and universally abhorred
         what world would that be
and where can it be found ?
