Journal entry from a 16-year-old boy in Heden

Today was a very normal day in Heden for me. The day consisted of school and the night consisted of partying. My alarm went off at 7:30 and the sun was flooding into my room. I looked out the window to look at the beach. There were a few people out for an early morning walk. I showered and went downstairs. I had slept well, and just like mostly everyone else was happy to be up and alive. I enjoyed every bight of my cereal and every sip of my orange juice to the fullest and then went and packed up my books for school. I got to school about 10 minutes late, around 9:40. I hung out with everyone else in school until classes started at 10:30. I went from class to class. Everything was very average and enjoyable. I learned about Buddhist beliefs and some algebra and some chemistry. Lunch was chicken burgers, which is my favorite lunch. When school got out at 3:00 I went straight home for starters. I was hungry so I grabbed a delicious mango that I took my time fixing up and enjoying. I then went down the street to my friend Cara’s house and there were 5 of my other friends there. A few were smoking; everyone was engaged deep in conversation, with some relaxing music playing in the background. A few other kids showed up to join our little get together. The conversation was somewhat emotional and a few people found them selves crying, in the arms of others. Eventually everyone left content and tired. I was one of the last to leave and got home around 11 and got ready for bed. Here I am now writing in bed as I do every night. Good night.

Decliration of Independence of Heden

Heden is a place separate from the rest of the world in order to form a new, better way a place to live. It is its own state, not a part of America or any other nation. It is small and will stay small because of a selective process to allow people in. People must be analyzed thoroughly to see if they will be able to live by the ways of Heden before they are allowed to reside here. Unlike much of the world everyone is truly equal and treated equally. This means everyone gets the same opportunities and benefits and everyone is to treat everyone else with respect. There will be no fights or feuds other wise anyone who takes part in such actions will be banned. There will be no punishment other than banishment and the people will not fear their government. The people themselves will rule Heden. There will be a process of election to choose a group for a central government to make decisions to protect, control, and promote well being in Heden. Everyone will live in love and hold respect and pride in themselves and in their country. There will be no relationships that do not hold any love. Life in Heden is focused on the comfort and happiness of its people. The belief is that no true comfort and happiness can come from anything but the present. Everyone will be taught to live fully in the present at all times. If anyone is unable to learn or do this or unwilling to, they will be banished. All values will be taught through family and schooling for children, so they too can grow to live in Heden. Everyone is free to leave at any point if they so choose. Heden is a place of teamwork and working together for everyone’s happiness. No work is to be done alone unless it can only be done alone. For this to work there must not only be respect, there must also be good communication. This means there is to be no lying, under all circumstances and all emotions are welcomed and valued as long as they are expressed appropriately. No one will take more than they need and will share what they feel they can and no one will make a fuss of anything that is not necessary. Heden is a free state of peace, love, teamwork, and presence. This declares Heden’s independence and explains how Heden will function. Heden is independent from the rest of world’s affairs and will not partake in any dealings with any other nations unless it is decided necessary.

Governing Body of Heden

The governing body of Heden is made of a small group of people selected through election by the peoples of Heden. The group will be no larger than ten people. Their job is to protect Heden, collectively make important decisions for the state of Heden, and do all necessary to uphold and promote the well being of the people of Heden. This committee will also deal with any problems including and rules that have been broken. They will work as a team just as everyone else in Heden. They will seek public opinions and feelings on most cases. The committee will change annually but members who are on the committee or already have been may be reelected as many times as they want. Their job is just another job though; it is not seen to have any more importance than any other job.

Utopia - Heden
