23. I say be happy and rejoice in yourself.

Nov 2018

Be thankful that, for whatever reasons, that you have ended up as you have ended up. I say to smile and rejoice, and be thankful you're not like 'them'.

You've attained a level of humaness not many do.

Can you imagine being one of those sad, droll people would look upon your wonderful act of humanity, and what humanity is possible of, and thinking that what you did was a stupid thing, a bad thing, AND THINKING THAT THEY ARE SUPERIOR AND SMARTER THAN YOU.

As so many do, sigh.

You seem to be asking if your act was good one, a smart one, that you aren't naive. Gosh, I just want to thank you. And tell you that this old world sorely needs more such actions. That not only what you did was okay, but that it was lovely. Wonderful. Epic. Affirming.

And never, NEVER! again wonder about such things. AND MOST OF ALL, NEVER AGAIN WORRY WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS OF YOU AND YOUR ACTIONS.

Because you have attained a level of humanity they can not fathom.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
