The most important other factors are mind.
In earlier times, the mind aspects were quite simple and direct: food, sex, money, power.
These days reality is more complex. The mind factors which support some form and counteract other forms can be very difficult to describe and control.
In music and fashion, for example, the difference between the good and the bad can be quite obvious but still impossible to describe. What makes that melody so fine?
In music and fashion we are free to follow our impulses. But in relation to other people and society in general, we are taking part in a network. Most of us know that, but there is a constant debate about appropriate and non appropriate actions.
It is a weakness of a society if this debate is very big. The normal situation should be that all human activity take place withing the limits and borders. It is an ideal.
