@thefoxseesall “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

I had never put much thought into these things before because I honestly hate talking about myself. I always felt like I was just another insignificant speck of dust floating on the wind in the vast universe we call home. I know now that to myself I may be insignificant but to a handful of people I am a very important and significant person indeed. While our world is crumbling around us I strive to make this little piece of existence around me a better place for that handful of people that depend upon me. While I may not know what tomorrow will bring I will still try my best to make tomorrow a day worth looking forward to and not something to dread or be feared. For if we live in dread and fear of tomorrow then we have already lost. Hold on to hope and live today in such a way that tomorrow will bring joy to those of whom you are significant. Help them to see the silver lining in all those bad things that surround them and seek out the good that is being buried by all of the bad.
