What does "paradise" mean to you? What are the first words and/or images that come to mind?

What does paradise mean to me, well, that's an easy one! Paradise for me would be being together with the man I love, the love of my life, sharing in each other. Walking hand in hand on a beautiful beach, no shoes, sand in our toes, with a beautiful sunset.....No one around but us. Sheer joy! <3

A world full of happiness and pain that goes away from those who are suffering everyday. With a boat load of prayers we can make that happen.

Paradise for one person or for the entire society?

For just one person, I'd imagine a world where everything is as the person desires. Keep in mind, though, the person may be psychotic, so his version of "paradise" might actually be considered a nightmare to others.

For a whole society, paradise is everybody doing the things they love. But see, there's a whole bunch of conflicts that arrive on that. Some people in the world can be serial killers, and the thing they love doing is killing their targets apparently. And that's not considered a paradise for the victims. There's one major conflict right there, and probably hundreds of others.

And I think my version of a paradise is rather unorthodox, so I won't state it here.
