You took the rant out of my mouth. Of the billions of lives lived, they were mostly lived in fear and starvation. Many people have a gross misunderstanding of the crossover between their perceptions and their expectations, and when you throw a mish-mash of spiritual principles gleaned from bumper stickers at head shops, what you end up with is a useless distraction. Don't get me started.
