     Yes... thank you gav for this thread.  As you
say, life can be this simple for humans.  It's amazing
that the very values that hold the happiest countries
together, are the same values that are taught where I
work.  Can you believe that - taught - it's truly
amazing that what is seen as a remedy is actually
lived, most assuredly assumed to be just the way life
is, but then again industrailized countries sacrifice
these stress-relievers for consumerists ideals. 
Çommunity, family, and goodwill, who would have
thought, hahahah!
