It's that human beings work best when they feel an innate purpose, a drive that they can latch onto even through the difficult times.
It's said in the behavioral sciences and marketing that the consumer can actually become stressed out if provided too many choices or too much freedom. Removing freedom is often more helpful to cognitive thought than taking it away.
And to make a choice as to what your purpose in life is, now that you've decided you don't really have one, and that "God hasn't give you one" is profoundly difficult.
So that's why you believe is it? It's healthier to believe in a lie, than work through difficulties. Its less stressful to lay in bed, but if you don't exercise, soon that is all you will be able to do.
