your life also won't work.

"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.

Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
