Tore, I would very much like to not be the only voice standing up for these things. If people got on board and did what's right, then we could only discuss technical things because we'd all be operating from the same place. And we'd also have the added benefit of being in a group of people who are not only doing what's right, but indirectly (and probably also directly by the positive impact such a community brings) teaching those around us to do likewise.

It is a much better place to be able to operate in such a way that when you look at yourself in the mirror there is no need for shame, no need for doubt, no need to know deep down that you're doing something you shouldn't. Standing up in righteousness and truth is an incredible feeling, even when those around you are casting may disparaging remarks in your direction, threatening you in whatever ways they do, and doing other things likewise.

To walk in the surety of knowing and doing what's right ... it's completely freeing. It removes all enemy's abilities to attack you justifiably, and it places you squarely in the place of victory at all points (because truth always and only speaks with one voice, always victorious, always triumphant).

It is most assuredly a good and desirable thing, and I recommend to everyone they pursue it with passion and vigor, being willing to put in the hard labor to achieve / attain it in their lives.
