I think perhaps because a lot of folks and kids see it as goody-goody and boring. It’s a buzzkill to follow the rules set down by God, nevermind that it’s done not to punish us, but to avoid us falling into traps. Of course, to the bad guys, traps are good. The more folks fall into traps, the more they can step up and present themselves as the heroes to “save” you, even though it’s really about keeping you trapped and dependent upon them. A nice vicious cycle.
And what can change that perception, but a wonderful, wonderful witness?
There’s an interval between leaving the bad and entering the good that requires patience to weather. It’s like waking up from a stupor. Instant-gratification habits, even like FR itself if kept up for hours and hours (I know, I know!), can vitiate that kind of patience.
