Progress is measured by milestones. What many good people lack are markers that might tell them how they are actually doing.

Meanwhile, spiritual submissiveness brings about the wiser use of our time, talents, and gifts as compared with our laboring diligently but conditionally to establish our own righteousness instead of the Lord's (D&C 1:16).

Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism.
