I found nothing within this universe designed to care for me. I found that I was very well equipped to care for myself. I put those two facts together and decided to care for me. Happiness has always been a pat on the back from my conscience as I progressed in my development from dependence to independence to individuation to sovereignty. I am a sovereign island of humanity.
I face my death; I face the unknowable with the merit within me.
Fear is afraid of me. I am happy. I am content. With my happiness and contentment, I struggle and suffer and work on to learn more, to develop more, to become more of me and die becoming.
