In order for life to be well worth living to me (and a large section of the world's population) I require that it be just and fair. But life is not just and fair, not intrinsically. All human experience demonstrates that the only way to achieve justice and fairness in a human society is for humans to design and enforce their own notions of justice and fairness. Our natural state follows the law of the jungle, and is not what we would call just and fair, though nature, if nature were a conscious entity, would see no problem with it at all. If we want any order beyond the law of the jungle, we craft it ourselves. We do want order, and we do craft it ourselves. That is why we are no longer living like cavemen.
