@hrant:
Just like we're brainwashed into thinking death is the ultimate defeat. Those are counter to human nature.
Human nature doesn't tend to go too high on the Maslow hierarchy when what is below hasn't been taken care of... which is the case for the vast majority of humans.
So for most of us, these are the three basic goals:
- stay alive
- have kids
- keep them alive
with being safe and comfortable and having fun also important along the way.
Dealing with what stands in the way of that, especially for other people, is a loftier goal, but still one that is understandable.
