People need to learn and accept that there will always be danger, and pain, and misery, and violence. It is not possible to create a society free of suffering. This means:
- Limiting the availability of weapons will not lessen crime or violence. If anything, crime will increase.
- Dangers will always exist in some form. Be it automobile accidents or your child falling on the playground. It is not possible to eliminate dangers through legislation.
- While on the topic of legislation; it is impossible to legislate morality. Get it through your heads. The very idea is a paradox.
- There are very, very few wonder drugs. It isn't feasible (in the near future anyway) that medicine will free us from ailment, therefore we should not expect it to.
Many other things but those are the biggest that come to mind. This idea of creating a pain-free society is just serving to pussify the society.
