The translation might have made it sound more arrogant than it should be.

In general, it's far too invested in the purity of the believer and its supposed merits than in, say, the rightful path itself, or the path to helping others.

For me, Buddhism has always been a wise friend of sorts, not something I actually believe in. I have not crossed the barrier of the dogmatic, and I still pride myself in my skepticism. I also prefer living alive rather than regretless.

Still, lots to be learned in a reading of this nature. Liked it a lot.
