I believe that life is worth the candle. Why would it be here otherwise?
I believe that evolution developed because it was Good to do so.
I believe that whatever exists after death is positive because why else would the life/death dynamic exist? Even if this means recycling or re-incarnation, it is ultimately good and for a worthwhile reason.
I believe that the architecture of the universe was curated because it was worth doing so.
I think that the fact that I can even construct these sentences on an online imageboard, word after word, moment after moment, to be indicative of a higher power who wants me to have that ability. How the hell else could I have it?
Books for this feel?
What if the universe is our friend after all?

I shat my pants during a zoom job interview today. I wish I was joking but I'm really not. At least they couldn't tell.

I drank too much coffee beforehand and I guess I was manually clenching my ass and stopped for a moment. Its very strange. Its not like I sharted or anything. There was no noise. I just lost my motor functions for a split second and next thing you know I was sitting in my own shit. Oddly enough it did not affect my interview performance one bit.

I'm a real midwit so I can't really write anything to impress you here. But as I see it, nothing exists without a purpose. Think of a candle as the thing you light whenever you consider a pursuit worth pursuing. On a metaphysical level, I assume life is a candle worth burning and enjoying, because otherwise, why would you burn it? I sourced this idea from Alan Watts and his idea of life being worth the candle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLgNSwCozY4
I know he's a midwit and I'm a midwit. But emotionally, it makes sense.

You're no midwit, brother. Thank you for candlepilling me.
I hope I figure out what my candle is someday.
