I'm not quite sure yet, but when considering some of the literature I've been reviewing lately, specifically the *Bhagavad-Gita* and John Mill's "On Liberty," moralizing with the intent to inspire self-discovered and self-driven action might be morally correct. From the *Bhagavad-Gita*:

>One should remember
>man's spirit as the guide,
>the primordial poet,
>smaller than an atom,
>granter of all things,
>in form inconceivable,
>the color of the sun
>beyond darkness.

I'm certainly not above moralizing. I like your omitted addendum.

You’re right much better. I just get kind of pissed when I see it so I’m trying moralize it.

Tbf I was going to add an “or, you don’t think your reader deserves better than a smart high schooler.” Still, moralizing.

Not quite. What you're admitting is that the difference in quality between you and the smart high schooler is not worth your time and effort for that task.
