The great thing about philosphies is that they make life look so simple and the path to happiness so obvious.

In reality things are much more complex.

Many tribes lived in a permanent state of warfare with their neighbors. There are cases of genocide as well. And the Native American hunted several species into extinction.

Also, you should know by now that you should do more to start conversations. This is little more than a site plug as it is and belongs more in "Found On The Net" than it does here.
