Dont think of these as being taken away from you, but rather being exposed for the lies they are. Even if, say, football had none of the satanic stuff or child trafficking/abuse etc, its still at best just "bread and circus" to keep us pacified.

While we have special attachment to these things that we developed over the years and feels empty when we have to let it go, it also reminds us the importance of not putting too much focus on any aspect of this matrix that is being used to program us.

For example, I had always been a big "science guy". I used to watch documentaries, grew up watching shows like "Cosmos", read a lot of stories about scientists and discoveries and raised our son on that kind of stuff.

Now that I have learn most of all this is fake initially it made me feel empty. Now, I dont care. I am happy to be rid of all the superficial stuff and stop tying my identity to this kind of stuff. Now, I dont feel the need for some special niche I can use to feel good about myself.

When you look at it this way, it feels liberating
