“The moral of the story is: don’t trust people who want to sell you answers. Don’t trust people who tell you they have found Answers. Run away from people who tell you about their transformation. Call their bluff when they tell you they are living in their happily ever after. These things aren’t real, however much we want them to be. However much we *need* them to be. It’s an illusion, a trick, and the years of your life are too valuable to pay this price.”
