When someone does or doesn't do something 'for your own good',

then that sounds like a very altruistic act.

However, it is often for one's own peace of mind,

own conscience, which is soothed by it.

​

It seems as if covered with the cloak of love:

"Reduce to the minimum, for maximum effect."

One cannot be more mistaken, because

rather, that applies to wearing black lace.
