Pandora's Box 10

Value is a key point of psychology.  People often misvalue certain aspects of life.  This is the modern concept of hamartia, the term used to describe the "fatal flaw" of personalities in Greek tragedy.

Some people misvalue abstract values such as "dignity".  But most people misvalue what is given.

For example, punishment is NOT given.  There's no "karma", so people take it as their own responsibility.  However, certain things, such as the basic nature of things, are fully given.  We cannot expect certain animals to not eat the smaller animals it sees.  There's nothing we can do.  Now, I suppose the same is true for death, but death must be valued as a total change, not a process.

Wow.  I am a terrible writer.  Of course, I have a really legit excuse.
