This brings to mind the exercise of Hypomnema. We know these things are good for us/ we should do them. Yet we struggle and falter due either to a Socratic ignorance, or the irrational part of the soul (our animal brain). Perhaps rehashing a simple maxim from every which angle is a modern form of Greek Hypomnema: committing a precept to memory so it becomes habit and helps with discernment. Could you argue it's a watered down spiritual exercise?
