Sorry to disappoint... there's no payoff.

At most, you can feel content in the knowledge that there's no big brother watching you and recording all your deeds to apply a proper punishment (or, in rare cases, praise) after your death.

No payoff?!

Well that sucks!

I have most of those. I fall back on God when they don't help.
