By continually formulating the soundest strategy possible and executing it to the best of one’s ability, one cuts through all machismo associated with quitting/persevering, as well as the egoic consideration of self-worth.

I believe that by diligently executing your best strategy, you are—by definition—persevering, as well as embodying the worthiest version of yourself.  There’s no need to seek a stamp of approval from anyone else; the case has already been made in the strongest language possible.

    “There’s no need to seek a stamp of approval from anyone else” This also applies to choosing your friends and loving who you love. And when you choose the leisure of nothing, feel the blessing of your choices.

    Following Levinas, is the traditional philosophical pursuit of knowledge secondary to a basic ethical duty to the other. (Totalité et Infini, Martinus Nijhoff, La Haye, 1991, p. 22).

        An obligation to care for others, that begins in seeing the face of another human being is a primary philosophical category.

        How does that get calculated when the best care for others may be to employ harsh discipline, or even kill one to protect the group?

        I think it would require a sound grasp of logic and intent.

    I do what comes from my heart or some other inspiration of the moment, and I don’t care whether others like it or not. If I like it, that is all that matters. I think doing otherwise is not respecting our own selves.

      Interesting! I kind of mix the two—I draft for myself, then I edit to make sure it’ll be clear and engaging for any of my readers. 🙂

    Another’s stamp of approval is limiting. Why would I choose that?
