Explain to me, Markus, how a magnet attracts its polar opposite. What does it DO? Answer? Nothing. Its physical orientation is sufficient to create effect a physical result. If this can apply to magnets, why cant it apply to humans? (uh oh - glib answer approaching...)

Why is this a cop out? Is it because I have no hard evidence for what I'm describing? If thats how you measure it, then yes, it is a cop out. But I did go to the effort of contextualising it against the meaning of life and the role it plays in life, and it makes sense as such, at least to me.

It ocurred to me that when you raised this emotionally charged example, that you were setting me up for a kicker like the above. And you delivered
It may be "sick" Markus, whatever moral equity you believe that descriptor earns you here, but it hasnt advanced your counter argument any. Pain and suffering is a fact of life for us all, in all its shapes and forms. Its purpose remains unchanged. Unless of course one denies the link between suffering and growth.
