Serious typo: “Sudenesis" is not a recognized English word. It's likely a misspelling or a misinterpretation of the term synderesis. Synderesis refers to the innate capacity of humans to understand basic moral principles and discern right from wrong. It's often seen as a natural aspect of conscience, guiding individuals toward good and away from evil. This concept is central to Christian ethics and the idea that moral knowledge is inherently accessible to everyone.”

Probably best to either replace it with another word, or correct the spelling and briefly define it with: “conscious”.

Is this AI? I explained it’s a Greek word with a footnote, but AI doesn’t read footnotes? Thanks anyway to the person behind this comment.

This was beautifully written. The distinction between chasing ambition and anchoring in principle hit home. A nice reminder that becoming matters more than achieving. Subscribed
