A successful and prosperous Society depends on a number of things, factors and actions.
You need a strong and rational, level headed leadership and a strong foundation in the masses, for a Society to function both must work together in Harmony and in turn that must be applied to the Society as a whole in its relation to the Natural World.  If man can not live in Harmony with his surroundings how can we expect to live in Harmony with our selves and our society?

Throughout history people have pondered and thought and theorized on how to have a truly happy and successful society.

It just takes the right attitude, the right dynamics and the right conditions to be put into place for it to take fruition.
