My acceptance is neither optimism nor pessimism. Those emotions seem a bit primitive to me. I do not accept the universe except to reside in it, and I've no idea whether it accepts me or not. I, or something that cause me to think I am me, simply am. That's it. What you have posted to me makes absolutely no sense logically at all. It is pure emotionalism- which is fine, but since I don't feel that way, I don't really comprehend it. That's one problem with emotionalism.

Purpose is separate from the universe for me. It is simply something that exists once I create it for myself. That's enough for me.
