How much illusionary goodness is allowed to exist because it makes us feel good? If you look at how morality is sold to us today from the moralizers that preach the current morality of the day, how many of their words call us to sacrifice, calls us to do without, or to give up what we cling to?
Not many, for if they did there would be few takers, and they would soon be an audience of one, themselves.
All truth and authenticity demand sacrifice. Without sacrifice, one wonders if humility is possible, since humility marks the beginning of the search for truth.
For with humility, the eventual confrontation of self with all of its illusionary traps is inevitable, and because of this, it marks the beginning of the journey into darkness, and eventually, to life.
