BRO I’m the same way! I feel like it’s an amazing feeling to truly believe it, but my logician brain refuses to let me view it as anything more than a construct of the human psyche. It always comes back to being one way to shield and protect yourself from the inevitable shitstorm that is life, and a way to make every end justify the means.

Not necessarily a negative thing, despite the vernacular, but it just feels like a spiritual safety blanket.
