I loveðŸ’™what Guy Ritchie said here: "religion has done to the spiritual significance of narrative what the businessman did to the suit, he's literalized it. He didn't realize that putting on a suit is putting on a suit of armor; it's putting on something that's rather spectacular. You're just doing it for convention, doing it for others, you're not doing it for you. And in our literal mind we look at a narrative and we see the narrative as what we believe it to be, the exterior aspect of narrative. So we completely see the world upside down. We're not actually interested in the essence of the narrative because we're so busy pandering after the approval of others. So everything that we see, every narrative that we listen to, every film that you see, you're not really interested in its soul, you're interested in its body."
