Caveat Emptor
Comforting falsehoods are an infinitely easier sell than inconvenient truths.
And so, beware any “authority”, creed, or enterprise that promises rights without responsibilities, certitude without understanding, forgiveness without contrition.
Beware any “authority”, creed, or enterprise that promises comfort, self-esteem, consolation, unconditional love, deliverance… without the burden of earning any of them.
In summary, beware any “authority”, creed, or enterprise that puts salvation in a can and sells it.

A uniquely burdened and blessed citizen of the world thinking and acting out loud!
Well said, indeed. You may want to change “pedaling” to “peddling” – a common mistake: drat those homonyms!
