People who forget their God and forget themselves. The lack of religion in society today makes them complacent about the sparkling world that makes them forget to think long. A person can justify any means to get what he wants. They will bear all the risks as long as their wishes can come true. Without them knowing they are being enslaved by the things of the world. A small example, jealous when you see the happiness of others. So that this jealousy raises the intention to get the same or more happiness, sometimes by justifying all means, including with the help of the supernatural power of a shaman or performing the ritual of the ritual on his own.
