Frederick Douglass writes in his narrative of the Methodists justifying slavery with religion.
Justifying oppression with love.
Expressing concern with constraints.
Converting wrong-doing to blame.
Douglass, a slave. Education, the key to success.
My key?
Freedom.

It's not a gift if it comes with strings of wire that lead straight back to the hearts of the giver.
Gifts, as soon as they leave our hands, are no longer ours. Gifts belong solely to the recipient. No strings attached, no matter how gentle or soft or hard or made of love or pain. No strings attached. That's the definition. Anything else is a loan, not a gift.
