text: In fairness to "hearing" the other side, your comment here is one for "utility" than for the spirit of human existence.  As for the "other side," what then is life worth if not to save one's soul?  All the health, beauty, fitness, careers, wealth, and accolades will never fill the hole from losing one's soul.  Even for a Christian, their Christ by choice died as criminal, prisoner, sick, diseased and poor...his entire relevant life.  Can we expect that even a nonChristian native desire any lesser human achievement?
