Quote Of The Day
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the
good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to
live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The
robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some
point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will
torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own
conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time
likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with
intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states
which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who
have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be
classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”
C. S. Lewis
That's what's known as "being officious".
