We get conditioned into societies beliefs and ways of living, however just because that is what everyone does doesn't make it right. There is only ever Life interacting with Itself, for Itself, through Itself and within Itself in an experience that we call 'our life'. 'We" are Life experiencing and expressing Itself infinitely. Consciousness attracting Itself to Itself. "Your" consciousness is your protection, it is your passport to navigate Life and it is all you need to be fulfilled.
