Follow this author's advice and a generation from now you may find yourself in a world where none of these virtuous labels have any meaning at all. That's the real hell right there, imagine a world not where everyone is dishonest, but where it's impossible to even distinguish honesty from dishonesty, your mind has been compromised, you can't even articulate the difference between the two. This is what we've seen happen with the self-esteem movement over the past 3 decades, no one even really knows what that phrase means, it's just this weird mantra people like to recite.
