But I don't  fear my "everlasting destiny."  

And that is a problem. You should.

Are you high?

It's a start, that if kept true to, will lead one to correct one's behaviour.

We start valuing ourselves more than God, that itself is enough of a sin.  But this can be turned around with fear. Fear is a wisdom that applies whether we value God more then ourselves or ourselves more than God. If we value our selves more, we will be lead to value God more. If we value God more, we will fear the trait of valuing ourselves more.

It's the beginning of wisdom, a way to safeguard it, but it's not it's purpose nor it's goal.
