is the noble way to live.

because you're inside yourself, your body, you can't see yourself.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,
while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
