When I say something that is a platitude, I feel a little good about myself, because I realize that as I am saying it, my will is not being controlled by the desire to please another person or by a cultural standard of being cool or witty, but perhaps I am saying it because the only intention of my heart is to will good towards others.
Are you one of those people who thinks that everything must be cool in order for it to be good.
Yeah, that's me.

You should have looked up the big words, like I suggested.
