Life-affirming approach means we go with the flow while holding onto a notion that while life in its essence is value-free and not necessarily meaningful or meaningless, it is up to us to create a purpose and meaning in our own life, in our existence. We affirm and believe in the continuation of our existence because as long as we are still alive, there's a possibility, a likelihood we can bring about a positive change, an improvement in our existence. To turn our backs on life is to embark on a descent to a hell of our creation.
Only smart and artistic humans (like you) can really understand me. Stupid and unaccomplished folks like the two fat midgets would never understand and thus appreciate me. What they commented about me said more about them than me. They are too stupid to possess empathy, too coarse to be artistic, too stubborn and weak-willed to change for the better. In a way, I was glad of having dated them and found out, albeit quite belatedly, that I am made of much finer stuff than they are. To have consciousness is to be aware, to notice the differences and similarities between self and others. It is a process all sentient beings do automatically. Only fools parrot and swallow whole the injunction, "thou shall not judge!". We compare, we judge, then we reassess based on new data, if available. That's how we slouch to realities, to truths.
