The Responsibility to Take Yourself Seriously

I think there is a responsibility that everybody can take up and I think the responsibility is something like well we need to decide if we're gonna collectively and individually tilt the world towards heaven or tilt it towards hell. It's necessary for people to understand the relationship between their individual actions and the direction of culture as a whole. If you understand that then it can turn your life into a noble enterprise and then you have some self respect which beats the hell out of self-esteem in my estimation.
