The quest for getting more out of life than life can deliver.

The greatest folly of humankind is the belief that we can obtain permanent happiness in the temporary material body. Even though we are constantly suffering from all kinds of miseries, we are deluding ourselves with the quest for happiness, not knowing what happiness is. Whenever we are temporarily not suffering some misery, we call this state happiness, and when misery inevitably finds us, we think, "Oh this is nothing. I can still be happy. As soon as this misery stops, then I will always be happy".
This, of course, never happens, because even if there is no more material discomfort, then old age, disease, and finally death come to disillusion us.

The belief that turning war and weapons into a commercial industry at the expense of peaceful and alternative solutions is a good idea, and without one bit of concern about how war devastates land, displaces people, creates poverty, destroys people's souls, is dehumanizing and devastating to the environment. As well, the loss of life involved.

Human reasoning, this was exactly how and why the Angels and Lucifer fell. Satan did not want to bow down before mankind because men were inferior to him, so he cooked this world we live in up in his imagination, and most of the people here in Yahoo answers are his children.Genesis 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise
