Sara: That’s impossible, you can’t love other’s children like your own, it just doesn’t work that way.

Beth: It does though, as a child you know who your parents are, but you also know any adult is willing to help you. In an area in which your parents may one weak another will excel, and as a result you will gain more.

Sara: …well, what do you do for fun them?

Beth: Everything we do is fun, or at least enjoyable. I guess you are more interested in traditional fun. We see movies, and we play games, and sometimes we have dances.

Sara: Do teenagers date?

Beth: Well, yes and no.

Sara: Which is it yes or no?

Beth: Have you ever had a boyfriend?

Sara: Yes.

Beth: Did you love him?

Sara: I believe I did.

Beth: At anytime could you see yourself marrying him?

Sara: At some point later on in life.

Beth: Why did you feel you needed to wait?

Sara: There were plenty of reasons, I wanted to finish school, I didn’t feel like I was ready to have kids yet, and we wouldn’t be able to support ourselves.

Beth: Do you see that couple over there with the baby…

Sara: They look younger than us, don’t tell me that’s their baby.

Beth: It is, and they have been married for a year. You see all of the reasons that you gave are not valid at Walden Two. The young couple has no trouble supporting themselves. Children are raised in the same manner regardless of the age of their parents. They earn their part in the community and are equal to all generations before them.

Sara: Yet they are so young, how can they be ready?

Beth: I presume you are only referring to their emotional “readiness”?

Sara: Well yes, I suppose that is what I mean.

Beth: In your society young love is looked upon as immature and not serious. That is wrong. The intense love that is felt when people are young, is the most intense love they will ever feel in their lives. We see no logical reason to delay what is natural.

Sara: Could you imagine having a baby so young?

Beth: Of course I can I am engaged and I my wedding is being planned as we speak.

Sara: Why, now though?

Beth: Why not?

Sara: Don’t you want to live your life, explore new places, travel the world and have some adventures.

Beth: People only feel a need to do such things, when they feel dissatisfied with their lives. I am fully satisfied and I don’t feel a need to do such things.

Sara: Well, how do you know that this boy you are going to marry is the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Beth: I just know in my heart.

Sara: What if he cheats on you?

Beth: He won’t, such things are unheard of at Walden Two.

Sara: Won’t you always wonder about other men?

Beth: No I am satisfied with my life, only when people are not satisfied do problems arise.

Sara: Give me another example.

Beth: Okay for instance we don’t have alcoholics or drug addicts her at Walden Two. In fact such substances are banned from Walden Two.

Sara: I understand some people abuse drugs and alcohol, when they are unhappy, but what about people who just enjoy an occasional glass of wine with their meal?

Beth: Again there is always a reason behind it that we do not have here at Walden Two.

Sara: Okay, so why do I like to have a beer at a party once in awhile.

Beth: In a social atmosphere, it is to take the edge off and allow you to feel more comfortable. We are very comfortable here and do not feel the need.

Sara: Wrong! I only like to drink when a party is outside, and I am freezing!

Beth: *giggling* okay I see your point.

Sara: Aren’t you curious, don’t you wan to see how people really live outside of Walden Two? I know you get newspapers and magazines, but aren’t you the least bit curious?

Beth: I suppose.

Sara: Wouldn’t you like to meet new people and see how the rest of the world lives with your own eyes?

Beth: Yes a part of me has always wondered about that.

Sara: So do it. When my car gets fixed come with me. Just come on the rest of my road trip. No promises, no commitment. I will even pay for you bus fair back, if you want to come back that is.

Beth: I am certain I would, but I still don’t know.

Sara: What don’t you know, you told me you are a free to choose to do whatever you like. Maybe what you said was not true then.

Beth: It was, fine I will go just to prove that you are wrong then.

Sara: Tell you what if when we finish our trip, and we both find Walden Two is better I will return with you.

Beth: So you see the positive side of Walden Two after all.

Sara: I do indeed, but I see the need for uncertainty in life as well.

Beth: Well let’s make our arrangements and we will decide once and for all….
