I like how Joe Rogan put it one time, and I will paraphrase: "The problem we have today is that we do not have to hunt for our food." In other words, as you stated above, we have it too easy. The human brain is meant for problem solving, and since we have satisfied the most basic needs, we have started inventing problems to solve. The left are pros at this. They create the problems that they "save" us from so that people feel they must rely on them for everything.
