Why is society so complicated, difficult, and frustrating?

Society is long on symbols, but short on substance. We are awash in religious, political, professional, and commercial symbols that promise but don’t deliver.

So let’s try to clearly distinguish between the symbols and substance of society by minimizing the former and maximizing the latter.
