Ritual
“As you get up in the morning, before starting the day’s activities, sit down for a while quietly and in a relaxed mood. Then concentrate upon your true self as an instrument of the Divine. Or, as an active center of the dynamic world-spirit. Or, in case you have inwardly revolted against all religion and philosophy, you may concentrate upon yourself as a creative artist. You are an architect of new, higher values. Your life has been given to you - with all its impulses and urges, thoughts and emotions, talents and handicaps - as the raw material to be fashioned into a thing of beauty and joy, by whatever creative ability you can summon.”

First off, I find it interesting that your first posting is a quote from somebody else. However, I'll grant you, it is a good quote, especially the part about life being "a thing of beauty and joy." Isn't that the same thing you were complaining about when I said it?
It's not the same thing. Fashioning a life of beauty and joy for the good and benefit of all humanity is a far cry from the hedonistic life of drinking, drugs, sex, and debauchery you are advocating.
How do you know what I advocate?
I know how you live.
You know nothing about me, you pompous, pious, impotent twit.
Oh come on, guys. We're just starting. Back off, will you? I agreed to edit this effort and try to tie things together, not be a referee.
