Self-esteem must be shown in self-development, otherwise it is fake! Just like faith without works is dead. . .

The spiritual marketplace is open for shopping, folks! What are the pros & cons of such a tool??
Maybe the truth is hidden/lost in all the noises, like a needle in a haystack….? We desperately need a magnet!
Technology helps ONLY when solid spiritual/theological quality is ALREADY available. . . ?
