Life must be hard when you don't believe in a higher power. When times get tough, you believe grit, luck or force will get you through life when times are hard. The best your carnal desires are your gods and your moral compass is based on pseudo science, a religion that you don't even know it's a religion. Your lusts are never fulfilled so your always a slave to the rat race left with a feeling of unfulfillment that can't be fixed because you're spiritually dead. You've been lied to and you choose to believe the lie and that comes with consequences.
