Exactly. You also have access, presumably, to a warm home in the winter, aren't suffering from pests and predatory animals, you can learn or be entertained in a million of ways. The fact that people can't perceive all of that as an incredible blessing says more about them than anything else.

Exactly. So many people think being "rich" is having the mansion, Ferrari, and the yacht. Those are just highly-priced, luxurious products that people buy to status-flaunt most of the time (I know so many here in Florida). We live in the greatest time humanity has ever seen in terms of abundance, and survivability.
