I did read your post, yes... which I thought made some really good points, in terms of life on a "macro" scale. It also got me to thinking about the question I was trying to raise here; how people tend to reach for "quick fixes" and "magic pills" that allegedly offer "instant answers" to systemic problems that have taken years — if not generations — to create.

Sure, a doctor can give me a pill for my frequent headaches, and I might forget about the headache till I get the next one. OR we can figure out why I get headaches in the first place and go through the more laborious and time consuming process of removing the problem that causes the headaches.
