Fully agree. I just mentioned the Third World as an
example. And I'm fully prepared to admit that it is perfectly possible to live in the Third World and live
happily, as in the example you gave of the South Pacific Islander
before being subject to modern influences. As for the First World -- oh, yes, I'm very sure a lot of people are leading miserable lives, too -- though perhaps a different kind of misery.
