Like other aspects of 'feel good' it does not prove the reality as an essential and divine altruism.
It is all about positive and negative cycles of human experience and the reality these impose on the humans experiencing them.
Many things about being humans release 'feel good' and repetetive exposure to such experiences has a cumulative growth peculiar to the individual but with many predictable characteristics.
The 23rd psalm may well conjure up notions of removing all negatives currently within the individuals experience in some clever Santa construct?
I recall reading sociologists reports about the impact of the industrial revolution on human groupings and how the stresses imposed lead to very predictable accumulations of negative 'pockets' of existence. The ethos of education also had similar sets of predictables and prompted changes in the focus for the regular person despite some individuals being disposables of whatever system came into fruition. The period of change is one which has its victims as well as successes by the very nature of most human activities.
Unfortunately few or them extrapolate the positive 'pockets' since these are so often taken for granted by those reaping the rewards of the system they proliferate - with examples such as royalty whose multi generational preserved privelaged reality is a far cry from that of those who struggle from one to the next in responding to the recommendations of such classes of governance and political affiliations.
And so divinity, with its perfect ideologies of justice and equality for all in some eutopian dream, may well inspire all who aspire to it but the very nature of humanity is a very different reality and ultimately I suspect the best mode for all humans to function in is one which works with the nature that spurned them, rather than against it, but as we all know there are many benefits to the fortunate minorities in doing the reverse which is bound to perpetuate conflicts of one sort or another at a whole series of levels, from human social groups to the very environment that supports us all! To insist upon an ideal is hardly plausible! And the ideal will warrant removal of privelage from those who have it so from the outset, a war against the powerful is its mandate with predictable resistance!
And so religion, in a way, is a delusional distraction from the reality before us which permits humans who may be experiencing negative cycles to let go of them and explore the luxury of more positive outcomes in a time period outside the one they currently find oppressive in various ways, which is highly likely why godspeak seems a better place than the one many of us have as a reality.
