Al, > Do you realize that most of your sentences start with "maybe"? Of course I do. I'm aware that you have already judged these people to be "mindless idiots." Not much I can do but present other possibilities. > Yeah, but why are these people thanking an all seeing, all good god that spared them but allowed the death of many of their townskin? Obviously they don't think death is desirable but it's ok if granted to others? That's probably the exact same question the survivors are asking themselves. Why them? Why were not others spared? The truth is that we're all living on borrowed time. No one "deserves" to live any more than the next person. The survivors probably realize that it could have easily been them, but for some odd reason God (or whoever) decided to spare them. That usually (but not always) motivates them to live the rest of their lives in a much better way than before, never taking life for granted. I know you'd rather call it luck, but luck hardly motivates anyone to live any differently than before. If our circumstances are just based on random chance, why try to change them? Just to load the dice a little more? Tenchusatsu
