I feel that after thinking quite a bit about the issues on earth I have reached a very worthy conclusion. When I created the beauty of life, the stars, the sun, and the sea, I created it for the happiness of all those who look upon it, and after creating this my main goal was to keep my creations happy. When I put man and animal into the world, I gave them their emotions in order for them to experience these amazing emotions happiness, pleasure, and contentment.

They are more dependent on their technology, it separates them from each other and ruins these connections and relationships. This leads to more unhappy people, and this unhappiness leads them to rely even more on their technology, to ease their pain of loneliness. In addition those who chase the life of greed and success are less happy, and instead of focusing on their relationships, focus on the fame and money they can get when giving up their own happiness.( Berridge) I designed humans to be incredibly social, in order for them to easily find happiness that I hoped they would lust
