Problem is that people concerned about “correcting the sinner” never see themselves as a sinner in need of correction. It’s always other people needing correction.

The older I get, the more I perceive any sort of spiritual pretension directed at others to be a fraud and a deception.

All spiritual development is to be found within the self, no exceptions. Anything directed outward is always aimed at controlling others.

“Never” is an all-encompassing word that could mean everyone.

Is that what you wanted to say?
