    It has been proven that even lower primates have an inate sense of fairness. Fairness is expressed in the evolutionary nature of cooperation. Cooperation is the key. How humans (and aparently other species) cooperate to attain the common goal of harmony, and thru it, contentment determines the success of society, primate or otherwise; and , top down, the microcosm of society; family and interpersonal realtionships.

    Something in which all parties are equally happy, or equally unhappy. As long as it's equal. ;-)
