With a singular purpose in life boiled down to just surviving day to day, the direction of life is clear and many of the things we consider necessities of modern life are not needed. For a third world villager with little or no energy, sanitation, clean water and barely enough food, clearly there is no need of our help in understanding, for example, how to use a computer and get onto the internet. If just getting by is the villager's only interest, life is in many ways simplified quite a bit-- e.g., no need for a car... certainly no need for a road bike. It'd probably be no kind of life that anyone on the Bike Forums would desire and yet I suppose the CF authoritarians here will argue the villagers may be truly happy living without our concerns and that we could learn a lot form their example.
