I believe I was pretty clear. If you don't understand then it isn't for you to do so.

I do know. I learned the hard way
You haven't earned an answer and you just blew any opportunity you might have had to learn with your crappy attitude.
You'll have your epiphany the hard way just like I did.

I don't understand it either, and you were farrrrr from 'clear'

So, what are the true reasons then, since I seem to be completely off?

I agree, but the point I'm trying to make is that we've been conditioned to relinquish our total free will, and now most all the things we do we pass through society's morality first. True, we can choose whether or not be moral or not, but we never get true free will, because we always weigh our actions on something else, be it 'God', society, or the long-term repercussions of our actions.
