Thank you :) And yes, it's such a big factor in how people behaved and even in how they thought, and we've almost eliminated it from our lives, in the same way that in the West we've (almost) got rid of the constant threat of famine, and therefore the obsession with/rejoicing in a good harvest. It's good not to have to worry about being without, but it's a shame we stop appreciating the good things when we have enough of them.
