    Very good.

    It took years to admit I was in a Cult.

    How could I .... DARTH.... allow myself to be in a Cult like those poor souls in Jonestown.

    Cult is Difficult to admit.

    What about the word, "inculcate?" Granted the word "cult" isn't in there, but is there any correlation? I checked out an online etymology site, and it stated that the word inculcate, comes from "inculcatus" which means to "force upon, stamp in." It also listed the "culcare" which means "to tread, to press in." Those definitions and origins are awfully similar to words such as previously mentioned, "cultivate." When you look up "difficult" on the same site, it mentions the Latin word, "difficilis", which means, "hard to please."
