People have been conditioned into dependance on society, rather than independance on themselves.

If you are wondering why a few examples would be...

1. Mainstream media portrayal of the perfect man/perfect woman. Not only does this create insecurities in the populace but they run out to the shops to buy make-up, clothing etc etc all to try and conform to the presumed 'trend'.... obviously this is exponential and it self reinforces... 1 person does it and then others follow upon seeing them.

2. Men that are cuffed and collared. We no longer fight, hunt for our food and the such like...we have lost our ability to be 'masculine' our instincts have been driven out by the mind which is cultivated through education and again, societal expectations.

Of course when shit hits the fan people have noone to turn to and so they turn to god.

I personally don't see a problem with this other than the fact it doesn't fix the goals long term, it may sustain your faith in the world for a few days, but alas you soon forget about it when it blows over.

Instead i would try to value, appreciate and trust myself, realize the freedoms i have and from my own perspective, i don't conform unless it benefits me. After all this is a game, to be played.... good and bad are just a perspective... experiences dont care which they are why should you? look at the awareness you can gain through your experience instead. (can offer an example if asked)
