Bad is Good!?
==Apr 4th 2007 From The Economist print edition==
This finding reminded me of a famous Chinese saying by Men Tze
(the 2nd greatest philosopher after Confucious):
"Life is full of Worries & Suffering;
Only Death is Peace & Happiness."
In an age when we humans have long been estranged from Mother Nature,
much too often we perceive the world more like an arithmatic algorithm rather than a living organism.
And it is this very false assumption that costs us much more than what we could have anticipated in advance.
" Many medicine. No cure." -- that is what we should keep in mind always.
