We trade perfectly good cars in for later models not always to get better transportation, but to give【C5】______to the community that we can【C6】______it.

Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative simplicity of such lives as dogs and cats.Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no【C8】______for wanting to【C9】______to a cat-and-dog existence.A better solution is to understand the symbolic process so that instead of being its slaves we become, to some degree at least, its【C10】______.
【C3】
