I think he was saying to force a belief or do things because everyone else does is not good- We must all find our way- He was quoted(Eienstien) many times in the book The Secret- as well as the DVD- Very interesting man.... I have new found respect for him-
We must be happy and unwavering in our faithfulness to be bitter is not natural-

We were given free will. But if God said to me to be Faithful,
I would not see this as bitter fruit but more as a Blessed Fruit
of his love. If I were to reject then that would be bitter !

Smarty: Anything forced is "bitter" for its adherents, whether it be faithfulness, the lack thereof, or enslavement to any concept - true or otherwise.

I disagree. Forced faithfulness is a sweet fruit for all concerned.
Didn't see that coming, did you?

it means if for instance, a child's parents force them to believe in a certain belief, and Evan though they question it, still force them to believe it. Doing that is bad for both the "pusher"(parents) and the "receiver" (the child)

You are right, you cannot force anyone to the Faith|
Such a thing constitutes violence on his person|
