Spirituality. This is why so many people can be convinced to stay inside from a disease with a terrifying 99% survival rate.

Organized religions stifle true spirituality, attempting to give human explanations to concepts that we will never be able to fully grasp (such as infinity). They're better than making fleeting pleasures the point of existence, however. Either way, hedonism has become the new religion and everyone is so afraid of death that they never really live.

There is a difference between simply surviving and living. Between being a human insect and a God among men.
