Sufficient Justification

Long to be free of hunger and rage. Seek to achieve a calm detachment beyond emotion. Outgrow dependence. Eat a balanced diet and brush your teeth after every meal. Cultivate an indifference to life itself. Acknowledge its passing. Take moderate exercise, cook with olive oil, drink a little red wine every day, and stay away from cigarettes and heroin. Be intoxicated with laughter. Let curses dissolve like the evaporation of a nightmare on awakening. Be noble, be strong, be great in heart and be compassionate. Practice forbearance. Give. Ask for nothing. Hope for nothing. Don't be afraid. The will to live is sufficient justification for being alive.
