A man's worth does not need to be counted in fame and fortune. Reaching for the stars does not mean becoming one of them. It means living a life you want, a life that makes you happy. Power should not empower, but your will and your heart.
And the struggle is what makes it all worthwhile and beautiful - the spoils of a victory after you've clawed and fought against the obstacles that would hold you back. Without the struggle, life would not be nearly as meaningful. Nothing is wasted, nothing is hopeless, if you choose to fight or believe otherwise. Therefore, life is not a waste or a pointless struggle. And not all endings are ugly, nor does death equate stopping. If you die content and happy and accomplishing that which you've dreamed of, you've lived and thus, death doesn't mean a stop or break or interruption.
I don't know if I believe in God, or a god. But it doesn't matter. Everyone is a god in their own right; we create and we destroy. Maybe not worlds or universes, but the worlds and universes we've created with our own words and interactions and relationships and imagination. I refuse to believe we are meaningless and that existence is just a big joke.
And you can try, but you won't succeed! Life finds a way of surviving. Life continues and persists.
[Yeah, she's definitely scared of you, but fah! Like she's just going to roll over and cry.] You're the joke here, if all you see is a void of darkness and nothingness and helplessness. I pity you, almost.
