Dramatization contains 4 components,

Seriousness, permanence, importance and pain.

People don't get along because they see others causing permanent
losses to the world, so they attack back by causing permanent losses
themselves to the causers of permanent losses.

It gets quite insane when one group of religious bigots tries to
help their God by doing in another group of people.

Religious bigotry is 'I am going to Heaven and you are going to
Hell because my God/Doctrine/Lineage is better than yours.

Hell FOREVER is a form of permanence, as is Heaven forever.

Nothing is forever except people and peace. So really if one
just looks to where people are dramatizing forevers, one will see the
serious games they are playing where winning is more important than
playing.

That is cause of all the strife (unhappy game playing) there is
amongst people.

Spirit of Play falls downtone into Spirit of Winning and further
down into Spirit of Losing.

Homer
