is a peaceful existence valuable to you?
world peace?
accumulation of personal wealth?
equality?
opportunity?
justice?
revenge?
are you a thrill seeker?
all of these things are one level above security, OR are masks to disguise our vulnerable desire to be secure and confident in our safety and happiness.
its the same thing everyone wants. every person, and living thing (plants and microbes included) they all operate on a reward/punishment based system.
would each of you empty your bank account if it meant world peace could be achieved by doing so?
