Because human have no task to be the effective robot, but to be more and growth possibilities into divine position of knowledge and power.
It means our shields and armours, so effective in the short run, becames our chains in the long run way. So we all need to recognize it existant and then to make a choice how to live. This is only two ways. One is to remain armours ans stop any changes, this is to weak people. But for strong ones, who still are ready to growth and self development, still want to expand their role to the world and still have their potentials this is the second way - to be brave enough to take armours away.
