Do we find comfort in that?
What is the purpose?
I'm sure that the members here are much smarter than I, so what do you say?
Lifestyle: A chosen way to live one's life.
Humans need to define things and then place those things, have evolved from MINE, to OURS, to THEIRS.
We started as cavemen finding meat for me. Caveman found cavewoman, now meat is for us. One plus one sometimes equals three, so now we have meat to share with others. Once given away it is now theirs.
The comfort is a basic need to belong, be in order, and be part of. In any given society we must have some sort of order. To have things in order, we need to organize our things, thus we place things in pigeon holes.
I am not smarter than thou. I only see food differently and place things in different pigeon holes!

Really rather simple when looking at it from that angle, isn't it?
