---Off_world, your arguments amount to a tautology: Life is Bliss because it's Bliss. First you said "at home" and then changed to "Entirely comfortable"; but that's the problem! You're changing the definitions to suit your purpose and wind up with a self-evident truth, a tautology, since "Bliss" isn't that much of a stretch from "entirely comfortable". However, where in the world do you get the premise, "entirely comfortable", ....where are those people, on the Pleides planets?....cuz I sure don't see them on this planet!
