For many, you are spot on. But there is a much, much deeper and more profound energy at work here. It overrides logic, all the positive emotions, any and all virtue. It's as if part of our genetic autonomy has been lobotomized.

You may need to do a little research before reacting. But, what we are looking at is an embedded Conditioning (e.g. Pavlov's dogs) that has become perpetually self-reinforced. . .so well-hidden behind the veil of religion.
Off the top of your head, what are the first two human emotions in the story of Eden? Guilt and shame. And this guilt and shame, branded in our psyches, are alive and well today whether we like it or not.
Perhaps the question we should be asking is "How do you un-condition a Conditioned Response?" Good luck! The guilt and shame and all the subsequent negative emotions are repeated over and over requiring no direction or input from our minds. It is a perpetual machine of (Conditioned) Stimulus --> (Conditioned) Response.
We need to figure this out. And, Aleks -- like many others -- are right in the middle, doing just that. Thank you.
