Fun

"Pain has important, but limited survival value. Pleasure drives us toward survival, loving our children and mates, and keeping our spirits up when times are bad. We might say pleasure is the root of hope and optimism. Have fun. Play." Dr. Drew Pinsky

Maybe a lot of our inborn power is generated by living a lovely life full of pleasure. This philosophy goes against some of the prevailing beliefs of our time, but what if the Creator is sad that the life given us is made painful by our running away from pleasure? Maybe the Creator hopes we will enjoy the beautiful life we've been given.
