Quite a sharp piece of social commentary on religious commercialism and the exploitation of fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans are born with fear. They fear misfortune, fear poverty, fear pain, fear death. When you die, will everything just end? Or will you wander as a homeless soul, blindly stumbling through the dark afterlife \u2014 nobody knows, and that unknown is what terrifies us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those fears, the monks sell you anti-fear medicine. They sell you afterlife guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because their products are built entirely upon the foundation of human fear, demand is extremely high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more charismatic the pitch, the better the marketing \u2014 the better it sells. It’s incredibly profitable. Monks become very wealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they sell has no physical form. You can’t hold it in your hand or show it to anyone. It’s an imaginary product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet while it’s an imaginary product, you can’t pay for it with imaginary money \u2014 you pay with real, hard cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people order something online and it doesn’t arrive within 3 days, they already think it’s taking too long \u2014 calling, messaging, pestering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for what the monks are selling, delivery only happens when you die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strangely, for a product you have to wait your entire lifetime for, nobody ever complains that it’s taking too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special features of what the monks sell:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The supply never runs out. (There’s no scenario where all 6 heavens are full with not a single room left.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The product has no physical form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. You only receive it upon death.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. And since you’re already dead by then \u2014 whether you actually receive it or not, nobody knows, and nobody can go check.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is why monks operate what is arguably the most successful, most profitable, and least accountable business in the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
