Quote #95651
This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!

Interpretation
The first sentence frames a philosophy of life grounded in relational virtues and emotional openness: love expressed through generosity, curiosity, play, care, and repair. The repetition of “loving” at the beginning and end signals that love is both the starting point and the ultimate measure of a well-lived day. The second sentence turns the list into a deliberate ethical choice rather than a vague aspiration. The final line uses comic bravado—imagining evil’s disappointment at one’s waking—to dramatize agency: to live so actively and compassionately that negativity, despair, or self-sabotage is put on the defensive. It’s a call to wake with purpose and become a persistent force for good.
