False religion

That's the idea from which false religion is born (I'm 50 something).  The idea was (I'm talking philosophically) that if something bad will happen if we don't do IT (the thing needing to be done-like breathing) then why not try everything and anything.  So one thing to satisfy the IT (which is something needing to be done-one thing I can think of is GROW UP) is stop.  Just stop.  But please don't kill yourself.
