Too, some people seem to think that is good for plants, and the way they should be, miserable, neurotic, unfulfilled, tortured, lonely, sick, and so on.

In any event, they have never proven the probity of these surprising views, nor is it possible to do so, as they are obviously false, and false propositions cannot be proven, a matter of logic. Accordingly, it is their practice to eschew argument, which could only lead to embarrassment for them, and content themselves with unsubstantiated but often ferociously enunciated assertions, claims and pronouncements.

In short, the person is content, happy, fulfilled, and so on, and the society not only does not object, but praises, supports, admires and approves. - (Vagabonds of Gor)
