I realize this. Now, if my worldview really says that the acts of a child molester are good simply because he felt a positive emotion from doing these deeds, then one might think that looking down upon me as some sort of repugnant individual is justified. You are free to think that. But I just want people to realize that I don't harm anyone else, I am kind towards others and towards my family, and my positive emotions are, for me, the most profoundly beautiful inner light that I simply need in my life. They are all that I have in my life. Just because I only find my life to be good, beautiful, and worth living through being happy and enjoying my hobbies, does that really mean I should be looked down upon for that? It sort of sounds silly to me. I understand that my worldview could very well advocate the idea of the acts of a child molester being something good, but you should just consider this completely irrelevant when it comes to my life since I do not go around molesting children or harming anyone else.
Sure, I might live by the model of a child molester, but this model has been altered into a different form when it comes to my personal life and hobbies. Rather than me being some child molester who gets positive emotions from harming others, this version of my model would be someone who simply views his positive emotions as the divine light of the cosmos, metaphorically speaking. Lastly, many people say it takes strength of character to find real good value during moments of misery and unhappiness. Take those famous and genius artists for example. They were miserable, but claimed they had real good value and beauty in their lives through pursuing their art and inspiring others. Personally, I do not think any character strength can ever replace the inner light in my life. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't know. This means that, even if I was the most weak and pitiful coward on the face of this planet, none of that would matter to me.
