If you can say at the end of your life that you survived, and you are okay to have survived, how would you feel? If the only thing you could say for yourself after all the ups and downs is "I have lived thus", what would it be like? With all defenses down, life would naturally look like a sprawling abyss.
But what if life were only just to survive this and to learn that there is a deeper being underneath the struggles, that doesn't get affected by the likes and dislikes, the wins and losses, and so on? What would life be like in that case?
One thing it would not be would be trying to "prove" one's value to others. If people truly accept you, you don't need to impress with accolades or knowledge. All you would need is to be open and to show a wish to learn.
Would this be a new way to affirm life, and to trust in the fundamental worth of its being, regardless of all the dark spaces that life sometimes takes us?
