i think the carmic religions are where we get most of this stuff society nowadays. What they talked about is contentment versus suffering. And what they essentially discovered was how to be mentally healthy, which has sort of nothing to do with mental illness. So i think that the best example of this that i can think of is victor frankle and man search for meaning. The key thing there is the path to enlightenment is not about what happens in the world,. It's about how we react to it.
