False teachers
The words of the ancient wise men were like arrows. But these men died, and their teachings with them. Then came those whose words were like chocolates, which people gladly consumed, while discarding the hard centre. Today we have the teachers of submission . . . whose chocolates are soft throughout.
Religion
When studying different religions, it is more important to notice the differences between them than the similarities. This keeps us on the move, prevents stagnation, and insures against becoming attached to words.
