Seriousness and original sin
The whole world labors and suffers under the rule must be serious. So pervasive and all-encompassing is this rule that we never question it. We do not even know we're serious, can't imagine any alternative. Our very souls are in bondage to The Serious One, who holds us captive with chains we cannot see.

Many of us go to church looking for relief. But all the churches and religions are serious and ruled by The Serious One. They'll say we're suffering from various sins, and even if we avoid those we're subject to original sin, which is a mysterious inherited condition.

That's getting close to the truth. Our original sin, passed down since the Fall of Man, is seriousness.
