I can try, I can try

I was never, no I was never, no I was never enough
But I can try, I can try, to toughen up
I listened when they told me, when he burns you let him go
Change is hard, I should know

[robert james @ the loft, audubon, nj]

"Existentially, the activity of pursuing rational goals is the activity of maintaining one's life; psychologically, its result, reward and concomitant is an emotional state of happiness.

It is by experiencing happiness that one lives one's life, in any hour, year or the whole of it. And when one experiences the kind of pure happiness that is an end in itself- the kind that makes one think: "This is worth living for" - what one is greeting and affirming in emotional terms is the metaphysical fact that life is an end in itself." - Ayn Rand
