Sounds philosphical, eh!?

A: First of all, there are not as much psychopats in this world as movies want us to believe. Secondly, I do not believe that most people now classified as psychopats are 'incurable'. There may be a very small percentage that really are psychopats, they must be guarded in a crisi centre (type 2) with much supervisors, and set to work there. Even when they only are capable of cleaning, they can be a benefit to society, e.g. by cleaning there own or other 'prisons'.

If those dangerous psychopats (even though there aren't thàt many) cost to much to become a benefit to society, why not simply kill them?
Whereas - luckily ! - relatively few psychopaths of the type we see in the movies exist, many other kinds are present in civil life, often unnoticed, and they are far more numerous than we usually think.
We need something higher/other than ourselves to connect with, to be part of, whatever that is : God, the Logos/Zeus, The Great Spirit, Tao, Nature, Humanity, Tradition, ... Personally, I must say I prefer the latter three. A humanistic form of immanent transcendence, if you like.
The buddha, too, has said to his discipels to seek consult with themselves... I think that one can find a sense in life.
Everyone has eg. his own way to commemorate his ancestors. This is not dogmatised religion, but still I consider this a religious act.
I am convinced that we don't need something higher than ourselves, unless you mean the benefit of all the people instead of selfishness.
That's right, and that's why buddhism is not a religion.
This may sound harsh, but I'm pretty sure they don't need that commemoration anymore, because they're dead.
But maybe you need that commemoration to find hapiness.
