The real solution is when people arwe happy and can maintain it with (to save space, let me just say, for instance,) Maslow's needs hierarchy. Happy people do not generally invent magical world views to give their life meaning. Happy people have no need for risk, for pain, for death.

It is unfortunate, perhaps; but natural law seems to demand a dichotomy which separates and antagonises people. All meaning seems to define itself by an opposite actuality. I can't be rich unless someone else is poor. I can't be healthy unless being unhealthy is a real and actual possibility. I can't be secure unless there is danger. Life is not a teeter or a totter. It is a teeter totter. Solon--2001
