Fear of Mortality
Most people are instinctively scared of deep conversations because I think deep inside, their brain is telling them how mortal and weak we really are, as humans.
To come to this understanding, for some, is to admit that they are fallible; any understanding of who we are and how we think means that we are not completely unique and can, to a degree, be understood. This is understandably a grave concern. Thoughts of mortality occur - the realisation that we will all die, we are all decaying organic matter, there is nothing else except the moment of living.
Religion holds a large barrier for deep human thinking, a religious person is scared to even listen to a deep conversation in the fear that their inane, instinctive, sub-conscious will put the thought into their head that there may be a possibility that we are all alone and slowly dieing without an afterlife.
If our brains subconsciously know that it's true, then it most probably is.
We can only understand who we are by analysing without fear.
"First you have to give up, first you have to *know*... not fear... *know*... that someday you are going to die"
