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.
