These are linguistic sleight of hand tricks designed to deceive, distract, obfuscate.  A mind dulled by "repetitive rubbing" believes the trick. An obedient mind is not alert to this sleight of hand.

I emphatically agree!

An obedient mind delegates to others the responsibility for moral decision-making. That's, IMO, not at all a good thing.

I'm not at all sporty.

I don't like running.  However, I've run <>8 half marathons, most as fundraisers for a local Christian charity.  I trained a lot for the first one and that was actually my worst time.

Don't run now.  Mild arthritis in right knee makes running after 8 miles quite painful.  I suppose I could drop to 10k (about 5 miles) runs.  But I still don't like running.

Me too! I don't run any more. It's a chore just to walk very much.

Btw, before twi, I was just athletic enough to participate in exercises during USAF basic training and to complete the yearly 1.5 mile run (jog). In HS, I tried out for baseball (didn't make any teams) and JV wrestling. I decided I preferred drama club and choir.

Not a good thing at all.

An obedient mind is not free to observe, to inquire, to contemplate.  An obedient mind is an enslaved mind and can never see clearly.
