			== World vs. Universe ==
			Primal world beliefs are unique because they represent [[beliefs]] about a situation from which there is no escape. If you think the city you live in is boring, then you have the possibility to escape by moving somewhere else. If you think the world is boring, then that [[perspective]] follows you everywhere.

			What if you take a step further back and consider whether [[God Concept\|the universe is inherently good]]? This cosmic [[perspective]] can help you focus less on the [[problems]] of the present and see the [[big picture]]. The world may be [[suffering]], but it is just a grain of sand in the scale of the [[universe]], and the [[march of progress]] bends towards [[justice]].
