I have been listening to a favourite band a lot lately, while letting this understandings sink in; there is a simple answer to the question, once the parade of religion has passed. (Hah, made that line up just then, but I like it).
That is, this objection to putting in effort is mixed in with plenty of “after the fact” beliefs about it.
Basically, my own private religion around “getting it right the first time” but also, never being better than anyone else, but craving the love of everyone.
Ok, that’s still complex, but it feels ridiculous! So, it seems the correct track.
