In that moment of weariness and self-satisfaction, the temptation is greatest to give up, not to strive for the peak of quality.

It reminds one that complaining about "too much work" is often just a poor excuse for petrifying in a niche of self-satisfaction and comfort.

Mostly, a sense of smug self-satisfaction - and I get more of that when I give to one without checking what they do, than when I've looked into it and found they support my political agenda.
