I wish I could say that your passing was as picture perfect as in Hollywood movies, where the dying is surrounded by the family and friends and then the last words of wisdom are passed on. But it wasn’t. It was dark and unpolished.

But even those of us who disdain superficial, misplaced values can’t help sometimes but feel a twinge of comparison over popularity and perfect appearance. Human nature is a fickle, fickle thing – foraging for worth and happiness in ways that can never provide it.
I’ve been thinking lately about what being ok with myself means. I have a very smart friend who says, ‘good self esteem isn’t the opposite of bad self esteem, self acceptance is the opposite of bad self esteem’ or something close to that. I like that definition. Self acceptance means being able to see ourselves realistically and be ok with it. Not just our external selves, but also our internal selves. Because it’s our internal selves that really make or break our lives.

If you can’t live with yourself and what you have done you will never be happy. Am I a villain? I have been. Am I a hero? No, but I have done some great things. But isn’t that the duality of man?

Because that’s where evil always screws up – it hurts people, and there are those who will never recover; it wounds us collectively in the short term; but it galvanizes the good in humanity. Evil almost always results in the strengthening of good.
