Additional note to #78.

Defining/espousing actions as “good” or “bad” because a very large, and essentially arbitrary, hammer is hanging over your head. Is such behavior enlightened self-preservation, simple fear, or something else?

(Yes, there are a lot of implications here regarding religion. I’ll leave them explicitly untouched.)

That is why it’s important, IMO, to reflect upon an action before you take it, to try to figure out your motives and reasons for it. Often, my own failures are the result of making a knee-jerk quick reaction that I haven’t thought through, and I regret later.
