OTOH, suppose "Hank" is someone who has written a book on lifestyle in which it is explained how by doing just a few simple things one would live in perfect health and happiness, well, for eternity. However, if one ignores those few simple things one will live in ever-increasing sickness and pain, well, for eternity.
And those telling you about "Hank" are know for building schools and hospitals and caring for the poor and orphans, along with being generally industrious citizens. And, while the choice is yours, no "ass-kissing" is required.
