Have you noticed that as we become a more contented society with plenty to eat and drink, warm houses and safe cities - compared to historical averages, we have become more hateful. Read 20 posts on this story and the people who stand outside a clinic to save someone hate the rich for climbing a mountain. These are often the same people screaming for lower taxes on the rich. I observe that this same hateful action has creaped into many churches and the work place. What has gone wrong?

My comment about churches, by the way, is not about one religion vs another, but about the people who attend and think the church belongs to them instead of they care for God's church. Power hungry individuals have turned to hate in far too many places. We are losing our civil society.

You make a good point. I think as we are more comfortable we know we lose something elemental in life,,so we watch others who go out and pit themselves against nature, risk, whatever.

Some enjoy this,,others envy it. It is like watching the rich. Some enjoy, others denigrate and want to snatch what they have.

And some want the true adventure seekers to "pay a price" so they feel all better, comfy in their homes, watching their tvs.
