A wonderful carrot to focus everyone's attention on, a goal to chase and devote one's self to. Always unobtainable.

Peace, equality, justice, morality, ethics (did you skip 'love' on purpose?). They aren't fictions. They're quite important. They're just hard to define in concrete terms.

If what dogs do isn't love (or at least companionship), then it's a really good imitation.
