+Because it is a reality that we are by nature social animals, bound to depend
+on each other, we need to cultivate affection and concern for other people if
+we really desire peace and happiness.  Look at wild animals and birds.  Even
+they travel together, flock together, and help each other.  Bees do not have a
+particular legal system, they do not follow any spiritual practice, but for
+their livelihood and survival they depend on each other--that is their
+natural way of existence.  Even though we intelligent human beings must also
+depend on each other, we sometimes misuse our intelligence and try to exploit
+each other.  That goes against human nature.  For those of us who profess to
+believe in a particular religious practice, it is extremely important that we
+try to help each other and cultivate a feeling of affection for each other.
+That is the source of happiness in our life.
