Think of all the religions warning about suicide. Now envision a concentration camp where workers are told leaving the wire will result in magical demons coming to torture them, and that the camp is infinitely more comfortable plus it's your duty to work in the camp, and your reward for natural death at old age/excessive labor in the camp is the opposite: complete freedom and bliss. Make sense yet? Political, religious, and work leadership are using these stories for their interests, which are contrary to yours.
