I don't like the idea of being worthy for anything very much. Earning or
doing something may give me a sense of pride or accomplishment, but I still
don't consider that worthiness. Worthy in what regard? An appeal to god? An
appeal to fellow man? Do I need permission to be happy?

I like many things Kant says, but not that very much.
