It offers so much, ready-made and all from the best shops, that there's a temptation to miss your own life in pursuing the lives of your betters.

Real disciples absorb the fiery darts of the adversary by holding aloft the quenching shield of faith with one hand, while holding to the iron rod with the other (see Eph. 6:16 1 Ne. 15:24 D&C 27:17). There should be no mistaking it will take both hands!
