Yep. We're stuck with them. 
But it can be a good thing.
Really.
This reminds me of a long-ago ancestor, who had some part in driving the Turks out of Vienna in 1683; no big part, no noble part, something modest like by accident nabbing a spy.
Despite that he was just an ordinary peasant, this trivial little deed was noted by someone in the court of the Austrian emperor, and the ancestor was given 10 pieces of silver, which enabled him to return to his village and get a farm.
As he was unmarried, and rich now, many wooed him, including some of the best-looking, best-tempered, best-blooded women in the area.
However, when he finally decided to get married, he got married to an unaesthetic shrew who was notorious for nagging. bitching, moaning, whining, and a hot temper. The marriage lasted until death.
At some time in his life, someone had inquired why he had chosen such a woman, when the alternatives were all so much better.
The ancestor said that he had lived a pretty comfortable life until then, and feared that God might penalize him in the Eternal Life, for having had it so easy.
And so he would rather pay for his sins in this life, not the next.
It is possible enduring the primitives can be our own salvation.
