I think the greatest act of defiance in an absurd world is to make your life meaningful. Do what makes you proud of yourself, build up any part of the world around you, and create something that will outlast you.

My mantra has simply been "give more than you take." So far, it's been very effective.

Comics like this don't resonate with me. The world owes you nothing. What you decide to do with your time and effort is your choice.

Sometimes things just really suck...but very rarely does EVERYTHING suck. Enjoy the shape of the clouds. Enjoy the flowers. Enjoy the baby in a stroller that smiles at you when you make a funny face. Enjoy the animals. Enjoy the color of a stranger's eyes. Find something, anything, to do in what little time you have that makes you feel proud. It could be drawing or writing or making music or even something as small as stacking pebbles as high as you can. There is always something good if you look hard enough.

Even if you cant pay rent, even if youre sick, even if you feel alone, theres something good, no matter how small, so find it and enjoy it.
