External signs of wealth and success are often cheap storefronts that hide internal mediocrity or even incompetence.

One of the joys we have in being human is in exercising our freedom to choose and to take each case as it comes to us. We are not robots who are forced into behaviors by their programming.

And as long as that remains true of us, we will live every day of our lives on one slippery slope or another. There is no reason to fear this.
