Same with my Christian faith. Sometimes we’d look at a sunset and say, isn’t god amazing? But mostly I was coasting, unable to truly explore and enjoy art, literature, music, sex, food, anything, because any excess of please was unseemly, and anyway “this world is not my home”.
#WhenIWasAMuslim I had no appreciation for life. I took no enjoyment in all of life’s pleasures, beauties, etc because I viewed this life as a stopover to the real world. Not worth investing in.

This is how they keep people repressed; make them accept their lot in life. They'll receive their "reward" in the hereafter. I'm just about convinced that some of these religious leaders don't believe half of it; it's simply a means to an end. Control.
