"Figure out what *you* care about. Your life isn't some god's, it isn't
some priest's, it's *yours* - you get to decide what's right for you.
Grow up and be responsible for yourself.

How? Here's a hint. Decide what sorts of people you'd like to see more
of in the world. Then go become one of them."
